[**Floor care**](https://info.lavor.com/en/floor-care?hsLang=en) is a very important topic for all those environments frequented by many people every day, such as **shopping centres, hospitals, ports, airports, industries, stations, schools, shops, restaurants and offices**.

Continuous transiting can in fact increase the accumulation of dust, soil and debris from outside, making flooring dirty and unsafe in a short space of time.

To **quickly and effortlessly remove all types of dirt** it is important to use the right tools, such as [**professional sweepers**](https://lavor.com/en/search/sweepers-pro/). Suitable for both outdoor and indoor floors, these products **remove all types of dust and coarse debris**, leaving a floor that is always clean.

## What is a professional sweeper?

The **sweeper** is a **professional cleaning tool that removes all forms of dirt, such as dust and debris, using brushes and a vacuum system** contained inside it. Ideal for any type of surface, such as **floors,** ** concrete, asphalt, plastic, resilient materials** and much more, it allows safe and fast cleaning, even repeated throughout the day.

**Professional sweepers** are divided into two main models:

- **Walk-behind**, small in size and with a compact structure, which boasts extreme manoeuvrability. These characteristics make them **perfect for the cleaning of smaller spaces or spaces with a dense presence of furniture such as schools, offices, shops** and all those otherwise difficult to reach areas;

- **Ride-on**, where the operator sits on a **comfortable ergonomic seat** above the sweeper. Higher performing and characterised by **superior performance and autonomy**, it is ideal for the **cleaning of large areas such as warehouses, factories, ports, airports, shopping centres, car parks, logistical centres and industries.**

## How a sweeper is made

Each **sweeper** has a **sweeping, suctioning and filtering** system inside which is used to quickly collect dust and debris. This **floor care** product consists of **5 systems**:

- A **sweeping** system which through **1 or 2 side brushes direct the dirt towards the central brush**, which collects dust and debris. When the emptying system is located in front of the central brush, this is known as "direct sweeping"; when it is located behind, this is referred to as "indirect sweeping".
- **Suctioning system**, which by generating a depression suctions the waste into the container;
- **Filtering system**, which can be of the cartridge, bag or panel type. The **air**, once filtered, is **released back into the environment**. Furthermore, in the Lavor models there is a **filter shaker**, which can be operated manually or autonomously, which allows the **membrane to self-clean** from sectioned dust debris;
- **Waste container**, where dirt is collected;
- **Emptying system**, which is used to manually or independently clean the waste/compartment **tank**.

Inside a sweeper, the side brushes collect the waste, directing it towards the central brush. Here, a turbine suctions up the material: the solid part ends up inside the waste bin, the more dusty part inside the filter system. **All actions are carried out autonomously by the vehicle**, **limiting the operator's intervention to operating the vehicle** and, possibly, activating the emptying system and the filter shaker, if manual.

## Floor care: which sweeper to choose?

Using a **tool dedicated to professional cleaning** is a superior advantage in terms of **cost and time savings**. To always obtain the best result, it is important to choose the right sweeper for your needs, **evaluating the size and characteristics of the space to be cleaned, the working time to be devoted to the activity and the frequency of use**.

For **small areas** it is essential to use a **compact and handy sweeper**, which can also work in particularly narrow spaces, including those occupied by furniture, desks, chairs, and furnishings of all sizes. In this case it is preferable to opt for a "walk-behind" model which offers **all the manageability you will need for your daily cleaning.**

An **excellent professional sweeper for offices, schools, shops and hospitals** is the [**SW 700 ET**](https://lavor.com/en/product/professional/sweepers-pro/swl-700-et39002-00069/), equipped with a reclining handle and rechargeable battery. The advantages of this model include the **electric filter shaker**, the mechanically operated side brush, the **pressure regulation system with central brush**, the suction shut-off switch and the quick release of the main brush.

For **industries, shopping centres, airports, ports, construction sites and all those large environments**, it is advisable to choose a "**ride-on**" model, which will allow the **cleaning of a space in no time at all**, without tiring the operator. The [**SWL R1000**](https://lavor.com/en/product/professional/sweepers-pro/swl-r100039002-00074/) **professional sweeper** is the ideal tool for the **cleaning of wide areas**, thanks to the **large filtering surface divided into 6 filters**, the flat pedal lifting system, the front suction system, the **adjustable seat and the safety system**, which offers the operator all the comfort they require. The central brush, the two side brushes and the paper cartridge filter are included with the **SWL R1000**.

With **Lavor** you can choose the **professional sweeper that best suits your needs**, for excellent performance, time saving and work optimisation, for surfaces that are always clean and safe, effortlessly.
