The Schwarze model GS6 is a heavy duty, chassis-mounted, regenerative air sweeper with a 7.8 cubic yard hopper. Its basic design has had over 25 years of successful operation around the world. As one of the largest, most powerful air sweepers in existence, the Schwarze GS6 is an ideal choice for use in a wide range of demanding municipal and contractor sweeping applications.

The GS6 blower system generates a high velocity air column over 17,000 CFM that is propelled into the top of the sweeping head through a 14 inch blast tube. The air is first pressurized in the upper chamber of the sweeping head and then expelled into the head’s lower chamber through the blast orifice. This high volume air blast loosens the debris from the pavement surface, then transports it across the width of the sweeping head and lifts it into the containment hopper via a 14 inch suction tube. This highly efficient system ensures that even hard-to reach particles hidden within pavement cracks and irregularities are removed. This includes a significant amount of the ‘PM-10 fines’ known to contain a high percentage of heavy metals and other pollutants.

To assure debris transfer with minimal fugitive dust escapement, belted curtains on the front and rear of the sweeping head contain the circulating air flow. This prevents dirty, debris-laden air from entering into the atmosphere as fugitive dust particles. The Schwarze GS6 picks up more of the micron-sized contaminates that accumulate on roads and streets. Recent studies emphasize the importance of removing these PM-10 ‘fines’ due to the amount of non-point source pollutants that contribute to the stormwater runoff stream. Using the regenerative air Schwarze GS6 sweeper results in a cleaner surface and a cleaner environment.

The model GS6 has several industry-leading features that position it at the head of its class. These include Schwarze’s WhisperWheelSM fan system, which lets Schwarze air sweepers run over 70% quieter and with up to 20% less fuel consumption. The is also provided with Schwarze industry leading Sweeps-In-ReverseSM, allowing operation in both forward and reverse directions.
