Keystone Brooms and Brushes

Leaders in the Street Sweeping Industry

Keystone Street Sweeping Brooms & Brushes has seen 50 years in the industry. With that many years in business comes years of expertise, and Jack Moran, Sales Manager for Keystone, knows his stuff. “My expertise allows a comfort zone for people to call and get answers to their questions,” he says.

Through earned trust, Keystone has moved to the forefront of their industry with excellent customer partnerships. Keystone’s innovative products, quality and unrivaled customer service have been the foundation of our success in supplying a full line of street sweeping replacement brooms. The combination of commitment and performance has brought Keystone to its position of prominence.

Headquartered in South Plainfield, New Jersey, Keystone has a 62,000-square-foot manufacturing facility. Keystone supplies nationwide to OEM’s dealers, distributors, private contractors and municipalities. In addition, Keystone designs the brushes for all their OEM dealers. Keystone also manufactures Polypropylene bristle for the construction of tube brooms and other brushes. Moran cites Keystone’s dedication to production as one reason Keystone surpasses their competition, “Our lead times are better than anyone.”

The AllPro Strip Broom also puts Keystone ahead in the industry, especially now with the new AllPro Combo Strip Broom and the new AllPro Combo Wafer Broom, Keystone continues to keep pace with the continually changing street sweeping industry. The AllPro Strip Broom has revolutionized the industry because it can not only be changed out quickly, but it is 100% recyclable.

In the early 1960s, Keystone was created by current President Marvin Naftal’s in-laws. In 1992, Naftal assumed control of the company and took it into the
manufacturing of replacement street sweeping brooms and brushes. The combination of an experienced engineering and sales staff working with the street
sweeping industry has enabled Keystone to keep their customers competitive. Our success depends on our customer’s success, and that is Keystone’s key ingredient for moving into the future.

• Keystone’s Strip Broom has been designed with a center sweep mandrel. This center core directs debris into the middle of the sweeping path resulting in less streaking and improving debris pickup for impressive sweeping results.
• Center Sweep Mandrel allows collected debris to settle evenly in the sweeper hopper. This eliminates elevator wear and the need for frequent adjustments caused by debris collecting to one side.
• The superior 100% recyclable AllPro Strip Broom achieves cleaner sweeping and creates the most aggressive sweeping available on the road today.

A tube broom is constructed on a solid steel core – a steel channel with filament crushed inside is spirally wound throughout the length of the tube. Tube Brooms are also know as: main brooms, center brooms, bottom brooms, pick-up brooms, belly brooms and extension brooms.

• The Tube Broom is made with Keystones engineered bristles and is guaranteed to have more filament, a longer life, more thorough debris collection and greater sweeping results.
• With it’s aggressive sweeping action, Keystone’s TubeBroom provides a cleaner street sweeping job.
• Made with tight and consistent broom wraps, our Tube Brooms bristles keep constant contact with the road.
• Keystone Tube Brooms have more filament providing longer broom life.

Filament (Bristle)
All Poly: General street sweeping
Poly/Wire Combo: Versatile sweeping
Quality
Standard: Our standard tube brooms meet every OEM Spec.
Heavy Duty: Heavy duty means that it exceeds OEM specifications. Keystone offers a Heavy Duty Line of Tube Broom products.

Many sweeping professionals will often alternate one poly wafer for every wire wafer, providing for a balanced, yet powerful sweeping broom that works best for changing or uncertain sweeping conditions. AllPro Poly Wafer and Wire Wafer Brooms are made from flexible spring steel wire to ensure a thorough cleaning without bristle damage.

But when mixed wafer broom requirements are needed, Keystone manufactures an alternative solution, our new Combo Wafer. With a layer of steel and a layer of polypropylene sandwiched together is a single wafer, Keystone offers the benefits from both wafer needs into a single wafer.

Application
Street Sweeping, Road Construction, Tractor Mount Sweepers, Skid Steer Loaders. Wafers are the most common broom for the construction market. Most notable, the front tow behind and tractor mounted attachments.

Styles
Flat (1-pin):  Steel spacers required to maintain uniformspacing between wafers.
Convoluted (2-pin):  ‘Spacer less’ installation – ring shaped (waved inner ring) to create it own spacing.

Filament (Bristles)
Poly:  Normal sweeping, more ‘flick action’.
Wire:  Aggressive sweeping, more ‘cutting action’.
Combo:  Poly and wire in one wafer. Provide the combined benefits of both wire and poly wafers. More convenient installation and allows for one inventory.

Introducing the all NEW Combo Broom.

Because there are some sweeping jobs that require a tougher broom but with the same efficiency and quality as our standard AllPro Brooms, we have created the AllPro Combo Strip Broom. We’ve combined our standard polypropylene bristle with crimped wire into a single strip. By doing this, we have developed a broom that brings aggressive sweeping and flicking agility of our polypropylene bristle together with the muscle of wire and with the same ease of our AllPro Center Strip Sweeping system.

The Allpro Series of brooms and Brushes are designed and manufactured by Keystone Plastics in their facility located in South Plainfield, NJ. Durability and quality are important, especially these day when every dollar spent counts and performance is still required for your street sweeping needs.

The most frequently asked question we get when we introduce one of our customers to a KP (Keystone Patented) Wire Gutter Broom is, “Why Patented Wire?”

The answer is quite simple: Patented Wire has demonstrated to be a much stronger and harder wire with greater resistance to fatigue than traditional Gutter Broom wires.

And the typical customer response after testing a Keystone Patented Wire Gutter Broom has been that Keystone’s Patented Wire Gutter Broom has met or exceeded their expectations, on even the toughest street sweeping applications.

A major concern in manufacturing steel is the loss of strength properties through the production process that can cause the steel to prematurely break-down, weaken or fail. However, in the patenting process, steel wire is gradually heated and then cooled in a controlled environment allowing it to be flattened, or cold rolled, without sacrificing the key characteristic of the steel – strength.

Apply this technology to gutter brooms where strength and durability of the product are the user’s main concerns, and you can begin to understand the benefits of Patented Wire. This includes the steel’s resistance to bending and stretching (hardness), resistance to fatigue from repeated stress, flick strength and ability to maintain its original shape.
