Regenerative Air

To understand the principal of regenerative air sweepers, it is necessary to realise that air can be moved or used in a similar way to hydraulic oil or water.

The characteristics are the same; it has volume, it can flow, or be pushed, or be pulled and it can exert pressure. Regenerative or recirculating air means, quite simply, that the air used to collect debris and pack it into the hopper is used over and over again in a 'loop of air'.

This is exactly the same principle as the recirculating oil in a hydraulic system as the air is filtered and continually pushed or pulled around the sweeper. As the air remains within the sweeper and passes through a thorough filtering system, virtually no dust or polluted air is vented into the atmosphere.
