The best snow blower brush for heavy snow removal
Posted: Apr 7th, '25, 22:42
In winter, facing thick snow, choosing the right snowplow brush is crucial for efficient snow removal. This is not only related to the efficiency of snow removal, but also affects the snow removal effect and the service life of the equipment. At the same time, combined with the snowplow of the excavator attachment, we can more comprehensively explore how to achieve the best configuration in thick snow removal operations.
Performance analysis of brushes of different materials
Steel brush
Steel brushes have extremely high strength and wear resistance, and have strong shoveling ability for compacted thick snow and snow mixed with ice debris. In some large squares, parking lots and other open areas, the snow becomes hard after being crushed by vehicles. At this time, the "large snowplow adapted to snowplow" with steel brushes can play a huge role. The steel brush can strongly break the adhesion between the snow layer and the ground, and cooperate with the snowplow to quickly push the thick snow aside, greatly improving the efficiency of snow removal. However, the disadvantages of the steel brush are also obvious. Its hard material is easy to scratch the ground, and it is not suitable for some areas with high requirements for ground protection, such as asphalt pavement or sidewalks paved with floor tiles.
Nylon brush
Nylon brushes are relatively soft and cause less damage to the ground. In the scenario of "snow shovel and snow blower working together", nylon brushes can be used to clean up the residual snow on the ground. It can clean the ground carefully to ensure that there are no small pieces of snow or ice chips left. It is particularly suitable for use in places with high requirements for ground flatness, such as community roads and school playgrounds. However, when facing very thick and hard snow, the cleaning ability of nylon brushes is limited, and it may not be able to sweep.
Hybrid sweeping brush
In order to combine the advantages of steel brushes and nylon brushes, hybrid sweeping brushes have emerged. This type of sweeping brush usually adopts a combination of rigidity and flexibility in the design of bristles. For example, the steel bristles inside provide the main shoveling force, and the outside is wrapped with a layer of nylon bristles to protect the ground and perform fine cleaning. In thick snow removal operations, the hybrid sweeping brush can not only deal with the initial removal of thick snow like a steel brush, but also perform detailed finishing work on the ground like a nylon brush after the snow shovel has cleared most of the snow. Whether on the main roads of the city or on the peripheral roads of some large commercial centers, the hybrid sweeping brush can better adapt to different snow removal needs, and it is one of the ideal choices for snowplow sweeping brushes when removing thick snow.
Brush size and snowplow adaptation
In addition to the material, the size of the sweeping brush is also closely related to the snow removal effect. For the case of matching "large snowplows with snowplows", larger-sized sweeping brushes can cover a wider working surface, reduce the number of round trips of the snowplow, and improve the overall working efficiency. In the snow removal operation on the wide highway, the large snowplow is equipped with a large-sized sweeping brush, which can quickly push the thick snow on the lane to the roadside with the snowplow, and quickly restore the road's traffic capacity. In some narrow alleys or sidewalks, small snowplows with brushes of suitable size are more flexible and can go deep into the corners to clear snow, avoiding the equipment being too large to be used.
Taking into account the material and size factors, in thick snow removal operations, the snowplow brush should be reasonably selected according to different operation scenarios, and combined with the collaborative operation of the excavator attachment snowplow, efficient and high-quality snow clearing effects can be achieved, providing convenience for people's travel and life.
