Bristling with new ideas A UK distributor is cleaning up after taking on the distribution rights for a new brush that is bristling with improved design features. Visitors to the Agri-Expo (SE) show who want to learn more should visit the Huntsmoor Park Farm stand, were Bill Lidgate will be explaining the advantages of the new Broomate brush, manufactured by bristle and brush specialists Osborn International. The Buckinghamshire based distributor is keen to show Kent, Sussex and Surrey farmers how the new brush has tackled the design faults that beset its competitors. He is also a fan of the whole idea of Agri- Expo (SE). “This part of the country really needs an agricultural show like this and I am looking forward to talking to farmers about the benefits of this new product,” he said. The brush is made in the UK and has a 5mm galvanised steel canopy with 5mm side bars. It also features bracing bars that have been fitted between the 11 banks of bristle hangers both to add strength and to stop the bristles clogging. The stronger design means the six feet wide Midimate and eight feet wide Maximate brushes are less prone to being damaged by impact with posts and walls. The 2.8mm polypropylene bristles and the hood design makes the Broomate ideal for grain stores, where Bill said it can sweep a ventilated floor clean in one push without creating any dust. “Sweeping out a grain store normally creates huge amounts of dust, but this design traps it under the bristles and the hood,” he said. The Broomate can be attached to a forklift or any quick release hitch on something like a JCB. It can also be fitted with a three-point linkage and used with a tractor. Launched at UK Grain in November and already selling well, Bill said the new product had been designed to deal with the design issues that had plagued its competitors and was quickly finding a niche in the market. The Broomate is also ideal for cleaning slurry because the bristles scrape into the cracks and grooves in a concrete surface and clean them properly rather than skimming over the top. The bristles are easily replaceable and the brushes are designed to last for at least four years even under testing conditions. The larger model costs £1,350, while the six feet Midimate sells for £1,095. “Not only are they better than rival brushes, they are cheaper, too,” said Bill. 2011 29 BiG M 400
