Nortec SweepTEC: Clean Sweep Rotary Broom
10-Series

Picture
EXCLUSIVE: Flip-Up Gauge Wheels
ProSWEEP Technology
Best in Class Hood Design & Sweeping Action

There's a NEW kid on the block!
The Clean Sweep rotary broom all started with a clean sheet of paper.  Why are all rotary brooms designed and built the same?  Nortec engineers are thinking outside the box.  Performance, strength, ease of operation, dust control, and broom design/options.  Dust suppression is not an after thought, it's a design criteria.  NORTEC takes dust control seriously and is doing something about it with forethought, like front-mounted gauge wheels.  In the future, this industry-changing feature will not be an option, it will be standard.  If you're looking for power, here it is.  PowerTEC wheel motor, broom-drive system.  The motor and frame are matched as a working system.  The ZD motor has the power and performance you're looking for and the reliability you demand. 

What is a Rotary Broom:

Picture

A rotary is a method of mechanically moving material.  A circleular broom is mounting in frame work and power by some source of exterior power.  As the broom rotates it will fling or move the material forward.  Nortec Clean Sweep Broom is designed for the sweeping and removal of snow, leaves, dirt, light gravel, and other materials from parking lots, sidewalks, and other surfaces. Heavy duty nylon bristles make short work of any clean up job without damaging the surface below.

What is a Rotary Broom Used For:

Picture

It’s a dirty world out there.  Cleaning is a time comcumming job.  This is a labor intensive, back breaking job.  Theres got to be a better way of sweeping and moving material.  This is where the rotary broom was invented.  In most cases material will dry and turn hard and crusty.  You need a broom that will sweep, cut and move the material. 

Industry Leading Features:

Gauge Wheels:

Picture
Flip-up gauge wheels.  This option saves on brush wear, increases sweep speed,
increases productivity, increases performance and ease of operation.
Gauge wheel mounting/brackets are standard equipment.  Caster wheels have built in adjustments; it's as simple as removing spacers and repositioning and you're ready to go.  (No Tools Needed) 


What Happens If I Don't Have Gauge Wheels?

Picture
1) Improper - Broom Wear
2) Increase operator knowlodge
3) Poor Sweeping Performance

Dust Control:  Water Tank and Sprayer

Picture
Dust Control:  
It’s a fact!  Sweeping is a dirty job.  NORTEC engineers went to work solving the
problem.  Adding water is great for dust control.  The water tank, sprayer, spray boom is not an after-thought, it's designed into the sweeper.  But the design does NOT stop there.  Clean Sweep also offers a rear spray boom for even more dust control.  May also be used for winter ice control by adding liquid ice melt. By reducing and compacting dust partials, airborne partical contamination is controlled.  Install SweepTEC seal-up curtains on the bottom frame and you take dust control to the next level.  
Ask about SweepTEC Liquid  Dust Bonding Agent

What's the differance in water tank design?

Picture
At NORTEC the water tank, sprayer, spray boom is not an after-thought, it's designed into the sweeper.  More water capacity, clean hose placement, low center of gravity.
 

The Broom, where the work gets done.

Picture
Rotary brushes or cylinder brushes are manufactured using a poly construction. The coiled brushes are ideal for applications that require constant  brush contact and pressure, where  ideal for applications requiring more versatility in design and shape.

NORTEC offers 2-Styles of sweeping brush's. 

EXCLUSIVE.. Tube Broom Design                  Industry Standard Wafer Style

Tube Broom - Clean SweepSweepTEC Broom Technology

Picture
Clean SweepSweepTEC Broom Technology: Tube Broom
Choose the standard conventional brush or the ProSWEEP rotor.  ProSWEEP offers tightly wound/woven bristles - A huge decrease in brush wear and unheard of sweeping performance.  A tight bristle assembly cuts down on material flowing through the wafer. 


What's the Problem: 

Picture
The problem is flat spots on the broom brushes caused by improper storage.
NORTEC engineers have solved the problem by designing storage stands into
the sweeper.  Storage brackets are standard equipment; stands are optional.
By leaving the front gauge wheels down and dropping down the rear legs on the broom, the bristles are suspended off the ground.

NORTEC BF-Series U-Blade

Picture
The Nortec BF cu series U-Blade is a very efficient design for productive grading.  With the U-Blade, the material is maintained within the moldboard.  Spillage is greatly reduced, increasing blading production. This high performance U-Blade has features and options you're looking for in a blade.  Choose the options that are right for you.  Looking for high-speed grading? Then take a look at our gauge wheel kit.  This performance feature greatly reduces porpoising.  With the gauge wheel you get the road grader effect.  Changing the attack angle on the moldboard of the cutter blade to an aggressive or a passive angle lets you adjust for job site conditions.

Picture
If your power unit has a universal skid steer mounting, take a look at this blade.  Traction control system is simple but effective.  Just remove the adjusting bar or hydraulic  cylinder and let the blade float.  Thanks to the side to side tabs designed into the blade, tabs / stopper brackets  prevents the blade from drooping  down .  Now what happens , when you do encounter  uneven terrain the blade will  float side to side  - up and down  preventing  side pulling.  Simple but effective design cuts down on the power unit breaking traction.  Another  plus, better steering and control.  Reports from customers claim this design increases their efficiencies by 50% or more. 

Characteristics of the U-Blade is the cupped wings

Picture
One of the characteristics of the U-Blade is the cupped wings.  While grading, the angle can be changed from full width cutting to step cutting.  In step cutting, the cutter edge is not making a full depth soil contact and a slant cut is achieved.  Moldboard side pull is kept to a minimum. 

Picture
One performance feature is the 17-inch blade ground clearance.  Blade lift is important for material pile stacking, material push back, rough terrain transport/operation, or trailer loading just to name a few.  Removing the tilt bar puts the blade into the flex & float position.  With Flex & Float, the ends of the moldboard will float up or down as grading conditions change.  There's a built in tab to prevent the blade from going over center.  Without this feature, the moldboard ends will gouge into the surface when in the angled position, either stopping or side pulling the power unit.  Flex & Float reduces side pulling dramatically.  Need extra power?  Tilting the wing back and off the surface increases the horse power per moldboard cutting edge width.  Take a look at the Nortec High Performance BFcu series U-Blades.

NORTEC HT100 Series 3-Point Hitch

Picture
The 3-point linkage has become the key design feature of tractors and has enabled tractors worldwide to carry a vast array of implements with improved safety and traction.  With the Nortec 3-point hitch attachment, you can now operate standard 3-point non-power tractor attachments on your power unit in need of a 3-point hitch system.

Picture
The three-point hitch is made up of several components working together. These include the tractor's hydraulic system, attaching points, the lifting arms, and stabilizers.  Three-point hitches are composed of three movable arms.  The two outer arms - the hitch lifting arms - are controlled by the hydraulic system, and provide lifting, lowering, and even tilting to the arms.  The center arm - called the top link - is movable, but is usually not powered by the ST-50 hydraulic system.  Each arm has an attachment device to connect implements to the hitch.  Each hitch has attachment holes for attaching implements, and the implement has posts that fit through the holes.  The implement is secured by placing a pin on the ends of the posts.  The hitch lifting arms are powered by the tractor's own hydraulic system.  The hydraulic system is controlled by the operator, and usually a variety of settings are available.

Picture
Off your 3-point hitch you may attach and operate attachments such as a rear blade, box scraper, disk, ripper - just to name a few. Most non-powered compact utility tractor implements may be operated with the power unit, making your machine more versatile in many applications.  Also, your machine can and will go into areas a wheel machine just can't.

Easy On Easy Off Design

NORTEC has a selection of collapsible- expandable - reusable steel pallet / shipping containers.

NORTEC has a selection of collapsible- expandable - reusable steel pallet / shipping containers. Today, over half a billion pallets are made each year and about two billion pallets are in use across the United States alone! NORTEC is meeting the most rigorous demands in industrial, food processing, agricultural applications and manufacturing. These containers are rugged and recyclable. Designed specifically to your distribution needs with no expensive tooling requirements. This gives you the exact design you need for your logistics system. NORTEC can work with your team in developing a completely custom pallet to fit your exact shipping and storage needs. With our years of industry experience and connections, and understanding of various customer requirements, we can promise to get you the maximum value pallet at a minimum price.  When you need to safely and reliably transport goods from one place to another, whether it is just across the building or to the opposite side of the globe, you can count on NORTEC pallets to help you get the job done right.

 A pallet sometimes inaccurately called a skid (a skid has no bottom deck boards), is a flat transport structure that supports goods in a stable fashion while being lifted by a forklift, pallet jack, front loader, work saver or other jacking device. A pallet is
the structural foundation of a unit load which allows handling and storage efficiencies. Goods or shipping containers are often placed on a pallet secured with strapping, stretch wrap or shrink wrap and shipped.

Selective Pallet Rack. Adaptable / adjustable  to space, weight or size. Integrates well with shelving.

Pallets can be referred to by their entry type. Two-way pallets: Pallets with forklift openings on only two ends. Also referred to as “unmatched” pallets.  Partial four-way entry pallets: Pallets with standard forklift openings on two ends and smaller side openings on the remaining ends. Four-way entry pallets: Pallets with forklift openings on all sides for full accessibility.

Pack & Ship   This low cost-effective shipping from Nortec to vendor.  Thanks to Nortec's design, base units may be stacked 8 to 12 high in one shipping bundle.  Nortec steel pallet in its self is used in the shipping process.  Sleeved together this lock in place design makes for a low effort, low cost shipping  physical process of transporting needed shipping pallets. Pallet dimensions help determine how much can be placed on a given truck, so they factor into freight carriers’ shipping quotes.
Cargo-worthy containers meet NORTEC's high standards designed in structural integrity to be used in shipping overseas. If you are using the container for export, this is the minimum level you will need.

Pallets make it easier to move heavy stacks. Loads with pallets under them can be hauled by forklift trucks of different sizes, or even by hand-pumped and hand-drawn pallet jacks. Pallet standards (the europallet and the U.S. Military 35 in × 45.5 in or 889 mm × 1,156 mm) are designed to pass through standard doorways.  Organizations using standard pallets for loading and unloading can have much lower costs for handling and storage, with faster material movement than businesses that do not.   The lack of a single international standard for pallets causes substantial continuing expense in international trade. A single standard is difficult because of the wide variety of needs a standard pallet would have to satisfy: passing doorways, fitting in standard containers, and bringing low labor costs. For example, organizations already handling large pallets often see no reason to pay the higher handling cost of using smaller pallets that can fit through doors.


Every pallet that is built could potentially be used and used again until such a time when it will need to be replaced. In the UK, government legislation relating to the Waste Framework Directive requires the reuse of packaging items above recycling and disposal. If a pallet can be environmentally and economically recovered and reused then you will not only reduce your carbon footprint but could also save money on your packaging costs. 

The cheapest pallets are made of softwood and are often considered expendable, to be discarded as trash along. Slightly more complex and costlier hardwood block pallets, plastic pallets can be lifted from all four sides.  Steel pallets are strong and are used for heavy loads, high-stacking loads and loads moved by abusive logistic systems. These, steel pallets offers excellent durability at the lowest cost. Long term costs, however, can be lower than wood. General advantages of metal pallets are high strength and stiffness, excellent durability, bug free, no splinters, sanitary, and recyclable. Metal units today are increasingly price competitive and lighter in weight.

BUG FREE   Wooden pallets should not be used for export unless it has been determined that the wood in these pallets has been treated with wood preservatives, fungicides and/or pesticides. Various pyrethrins and propiconazole are common treatments for wooden pallets. In addition, imported palletized goods are routinely fumigated with highly toxic pesticides. During use, harmful materials or chemicals also may spill on the pallet wood and be absorbed.  Wood pallets used to transport food can possibly harbor pathogens such as E. coli and Listeria. A release by the National Consumers League announced the testing of 70 wood pallets and 70 plastic pallets that have been loaded with perishable products and shipped to an end user was shipped overnight to an independent microbiology lab for testing. The results came back with 10 percent of the wood pallets positive for E. coli and 1.4 percent positive on the plastic pallets.

Both wood and plastic pallets are possible fire hazards.

Selective Pallet Rack. Adaptable / adjustable  to space, weight or size. Integrates well with shelving.

NORTEC is unique in its ability to design, test, and prototexpandable steel shipping pallets products and solutions all in-house at its Design and Engineering Center. 

We would look forward to the opportunity of working with you and answering any questions that you may have about our service and products.
