Rolling Magnetic Sweeper
A magnetic sweeper, is a device that can be used to remove nails and other magnetic objects from roads, driveways, lawns and facilities. Nails tend to get picked up by wheeled vehicles which consequently puncture tires, disable cars, trucks as well as bicycles. Magnetic sweepers help pick up the nails on the road before they damage tires on vehicles.
A rolling magnetic sweeper consists of a specially designed piece of magnetic material that is put inside a pole with wheels at the base it helps contain the magnetic sweeper when it comes close to any object so that only the metal part gets stuck onto it while everything else moves forward smoothly without any hindrance. The sweeper is a magnetic brush sweep with wheels that can easily be moved along surfaces to remove the magnetic objects attached to it. When used in magnetic mode, magnetic sweeper collects nails and other metal objects immediately as soon as it touches them.
The magnetic sweeper works on the principle of magnetic attraction- when an object with a ferrous metal comes into contact with an electromagnet, it is pulled towards the source of the magnetic field. Once the nail magnet has picked up the object, it can easily be removed from underneath and the machine can then continue rolling forward on its wheels. Many deluxe models have a demagnetizing switch which enables the user to empty the sweeper with a touch of a button.
