FILL PATTERNS

Double Row
Because of its versatility, the double row
(DR) fill pattern is the most popular pattern
for sweeping applications. This design
allows the space between each row to trap
bulky items while the bristles are working
to pick up the finer debris such as dust
and sand.

Single Row
The single row (SR) pattern is ideal for
sweeping applications in dusty and/or
sandy conditions. It is also referred to as
the full-fill or high-density pattern. This
pattern is designed to pick up fine debris,
but not bulky litter.

Patrol Brush
A patrol brush has a V-pattern and is
designed primarily for high-speed
sweeping in large areas. Designed with
fewer rows with more tufts per row, there
is more space between rows. This
enables the brush to effectively pick up
medium to large debris, such as cans,
paper, and leaves, at faster speeds.

Herringbone
The design of the Herringbone also
utilizes a V-arrangement but only in the
double row (DR) pattern. At normal
sweeping speeds, light to medium litter is
directed closer to the center of the hopper
and loaded more effectively.

Chevron
Designed for use on cylindrical scrub
brushes, the Chevron pattern directs the
solution to the center of the scrubbing
path as the bristles agitate the debris
loose from the ground. The full-fill (single
row) design keeps bristles on the surface
at all times. The filament length on this
brush designates it as a scrubber since
the short bristle cannot flick or sweep the
debris off the ground.
