Mechanical Street Sweeper: The Cleaning Superman

It is the responsibility of the homeowners to keep their homes clean for their families. Usually, they rely on the good ol' broom or mop to do the job, or if they want to be more advanced, the standard vacuum cleaner. Sometimes, they would call on the services of professional cleaners who are equipped with steam cleaners, which are believed to be more effective in cleaning off dirt and stains from all types of surfaces.

Meanwhile, when it comes to keeping streets clean, that responsibility falls on the shoulders of the city government. In this case, however, typical vacuum and steam cleaners are not enough for the job. What they must depend on are powerful mechanical street sweepers which can clean surfaces at a faster rate than vacuum cleaners and steam cleaners. These street sweepers come in the form of trucks that are handled by an operator.

The equipment works under the same principle as of a broom and a mop—albeit more advanced. First, all the dust and dirt from the streets are swept off thoroughly; afterward, water is sprayed and then a vacuum component is activated to make sure all the remaining wayward particles are off the road surfaces. All the dirt that is swept off is collected effectively in the street sweeper's hopper element and then dumped in a designated area.
