Q: We have an engineering workshop, and as such generate a fair amount of swarf. How do I decide which swarf cleaner model would be best for us? How do we empty the swarf from the cleaner?

Wider magnetic sweepers cover more area and are more efficient in large open workshop environments and outdoor areas. The Frenergy Tools and Equipment category has 72-inch wide sweeper magnets. These are the widest models available and can be attached to the workshop forklift tynes to make the swarf removal process a whole lot easier.

Industrial sites or workshop areas with more confined workspaces may require a smaller sweeper that can more easily access floors between workbenches or machinery. Frenergy also has several walk-behind, handheld Heavy Duty Sweeper models that are fitted with wheels and are available in sizes up to 60 inches wide.

These products have a quick-release lever that allows the collected swarf to be deposited safely into a container without needing to handle the potentially harmful swarf material.

The Forklift Sweeper category has 3 in 1 magnetic sweepers that can be hung from a vehicle, towed behind a vehicle or mounted onto the front of a forklift. Regular magnetic sweeping helps to make workplace safety a priority and significantly reduces the occurrence of those frustrating flat tyres for your staff and customer vehicles.
