Picture this: It’s 5 AM, and your crew is prepping the street sweepers. But halfway through the route, the brushes start leaving trails of sand and cigarette butts. Sound familiar? Worn-out sweeper wafer brushes don’t just dirty your streets – they cost time, fuel, and repair money. At Zhenda Brush, we’ve helped over 140 cities and contractors tackle this exact problem. Let’s break down how choosing the right replacement brushes can make your job easier.
3 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Brushes
The "Coffee Grounds Test":
After sweeping, check if tiny debris (like sand or grit) remains – it means bristles aren’t gripping properly.
Uneven Wear Patterns:
Bald spots on brushes? That’s like driving a car with flat tires – it strains the whole machine.
Fuel Bills Creeping Up:
Struggling brushes force engines to work harder. If diesel costs jump 10%, check your bristles first.

5 Questions to Ask Before Buying Replacements
“Will these Wafer brushes fit our Bobcat/John Deere sweepers?”
→ Our default size list already covers most common models of road sweeper or angle broom attachments. We can also customize products according to your needs. Just provide us with the specific size specifications and material requirements.
“How long until we need to change them again?”
→ The service life of the replacement brushes of the road sweeper will vary greatly depending on the usage environment. It is recommended that you measure the brush length according to the guide of the road sweeper manufacturer and replace it in time when the wear reaches a certain level.

Proven Tricks to Make Brushes Last Longer
Rotate Weekly: Swap front/rear brushes to even out wear.
Pressure Wash Smart: Use lukewarm water – boiling water warps bristles.
Store Right: Hang brushes vertically; laying flat causes bending.
