Keeping industrial floors clean plays a vital role in workplace safety and operational efficiency. Whether you're managing a busy warehouse, production facility or agricultural processing site, removing debris and loose material quickly helps create a safer working environment.
The Westermann WR870 battery-powered sweeping range offers a practical, low-noise and highly effective solution for industrial floor cleaning without the emissions, fuel costs or maintenance associated with a petrol-powered counterpart.
Why is Efficient Industrial Floor Sweeping Important?
Regular, efficient sweeping is incredibly important for maintaining professional standards for workers, visitors, audits and health and safety inspections, especially since industrial environments can generate a wide range of debris every day, including:
- Dust and fine particles
- Packaging waste
- Sawdust and wood shavings
- Metal swarf
- Plastic offcuts
- Cardboard fragments
- Loose aggregate
- Animal feed and bedding
- Leaves and debris brought in through loading bays
If left unattended, these materials can become slip hazards, increase airborne dust, damage forklifts and machinery and reduce overall workplace cleanliness.
The Advantage of the Westermann Radial Brush System
Unlike conventional push sweepers or rotary sweepers that can skim across the surface, the Westermann WR870 uses an innovative radial brush design that reaches into cracks, textured concrete and uneven industrial flooring.
The angled brush action helps lift debris from joints, corners and surface imperfections in a single pass, making it particularly effective on older factory floors and warehouse yards where traditional sweepers often leave material behind.
The adjustable brush height also allows operators to choose a lighter or more powerful sweeping action, depending on the floor surface.
Westermann Battery Farm Sweeping Brush WR870
The Westermann Battery Farm Sweeping Brush WR870 is widely known within the agricultural industry, but its capabilities make it equally suitable for industrial and commercial premises.
With its quiet 12V battery-powered operation and 870mm diameter brush head, it can quickly clear warehouse aisles, factory floors, distribution centres, loading bays, engineering workshops, storage facilities and agricultural processing buildings.
Because the machine operates almost silently, it is ideal for businesses that need to minimise disruption during working hours or operate in noise-sensitive environments.
Some of the main benefits of the Westermann battery sweeper include:
Up to approximately 2.5 hours of runtime per charge
- Quiet battery operation
- Adjustable brush pressure
- Fold-down handlebars for transport and storage
- German-engineered construction
- Capable of sweeping dust, debris, leaves, feed and even light snow
The WR870 Battery Farm Sweeping Brush also comes with the option of a deeper drum if needed. The Deep Drum version adds an extra 5cm of drum height that’s needed for dealing with deep piles of material.
Westermann EGO Battery Industrial Floor Brush WR870
For factories looking for the latest battery technology, the Westermann EGO Battery Industrial Floor Brush WR870 combines the proven effectiveness of the WR870 with the professional EGO 56V battery system.
This model is particularly attractive for facilities teams already using EGO battery equipment, as existing batteries are compatible across the Westermann EGO range.
The Westermann industrial floor brush offers:
- Zero-emission operation
- Low operating noise
- Up to 2 hours runtime using 12Ah batteries
- Multiple battery options to suit different workloads
- Professional-grade EGO battery performance
- Galvanised chassis for long service life
Another advantage of the Westermann EGO Battery WR870 is the option for interchangeable brush heads for different cleaning applications. While the Farm Sweeping Brush is compatible with the Poly Brush only, you can switch out the Poly Brush on the EGO Battery model for the Poly/Wire Mix Brush Head if you need a little extra oomph when working with stubborn areas of debris.
The result is a highly manoeuvrable factory cleaning machine capable of maintaining large industrial spaces without needing to facilitate fuel storage or engine servicing.
Ideal Applications for Industrial Facilities
The Westermann WR870 Battery Sweeper range is suitable for a wide variety of commercial environments, including:
- Manufacturing plants - Keep production areas free from dust, packaging waste and production debris while maintaining safe pedestrian walkways.
