spazzatrici

Spazzatrici is a term that refers to machines designed to clean and collect debris from solid surfaces. They are used on streets, squares, and industrial floors to remove dust, litter and other waste, concentrating it into an integrated collection container. The technology aims to improve hygiene, reduce dust and maintain public and working environments.

There are several types of spazzatrici. Street spazzatrici are employed by municipalities for urban cleaning and are equipped with rotating brushes and suction systems to pick up debris and deposit it in a rear or side bin. Industrial or floor-spazzatrici are used inside facilities such as warehouses, shopping centers or factories; these models vary from compact, walk-behind versions to large ride-on machines and may feature cylindrical or disc brushes, squeegees for wet cleaning, and powerful extractors. Some models are designed for narrow spaces and pedestrian areas, offering maneuverability and adjustable brush configurations.

Design and operation rely on a combination of rotating brushes, suction or conveyor systems, and a collection bin. Primary brushes sweep dirt toward an intake, while side brushes extend the reach along curbs or borders. Dust suppression may be achieved with a water spray, and the collected material is stored in a hopper or tank that can be emptied manually or automatically. Many spazzatrici include filtration, varying power sources, and computerized controls for efficiency and safety.

Environment, safety and innovation: modernization has brought electric or hybrid propulsion, reduced emissions, quieter operation, selective cleaning modes, and enhanced filtration, making spazzatrici a common tool in urban maintenance and industrial hygiene.
