What Is a Sweeper Wafer Brush?
A wafer brush is made of poly or steel filaments melted and pressed together inside a wide, hard galvanised steel ring that is clamped very tightly. One or two metal pins sit inside the ring to key the segment onto the broom shaft. Individual wafers stack along a wafer rack to form the full-width broom core — so a worn section is replaced on its own instead of the whole broom.
Flat vs convoluted: a flat wafer is 18 mm thick, mounts with spacers between segments, and normally uses one pin. A convoluted (wavy, cambered, zig-zag) wafer is 45 mm high, always uses two pins at 30 mm spacing, needs no spacers, and delivers a more aggressive sweeping action on rough ground. Angled (sloped) rings are available for specific machines.
- Ten standard ID*OD sizes from 110*400 to 300*800 mm — plus fully custom diameters
- Flat (18 mm) or convoluted (45 mm) ring — the two mounting systems your sweeper will use
- All-poly, all-wire, or poly/wire combo filaments to match surface abrasiveness
- 1 or 2 pins, Ø 6/8/10 mm, 30 mm spacing — matched to your existing wafer rack
- 0.6–5 kg per wafer, so you can calculate broom load and machine balance before ordering
- Colour coding available for fleet maintenance scheduling

How to Measure a Replacement Wafer
Four measurements give us a complete specification — no drawing required.
Measure these four values
- Inner diameter (ID) — the bore that fits over the shaft
- Outer diameter (OD) — tip to tip across the filament
- Ring height — 18 mm identifies flat, 45 mm identifies convoluted
- Pin configuration — how many pins, their diameter, and the 30 mm spacing
Then tell us two more things
- What surface you sweep — asphalt, concrete, gravel, paving, snow. This decides poly vs wire vs combo.
- Your machine model — so we can cross-check the pin layout against our existing fitment records.
Send these to info@manybrush.com and you will have a quote within 12 hours.
Wafer Brush Styles We Manufacture
Choose the ring shape and filament combination that match your machine and the surface you sweep.
All-Poly Wafer Brush
Red PP filament — protects decorative paving, painted lines and kerb stones, and runs noticeably quieter on residential routes.
All-Steel Wire Wafer
72A flattened carbonised steel wire for gravel, compacted dirt, construction residue and snow clearing — the most aggressive option.
Convoluted (Wavy) Wafer Brush
45 mm convoluted ring, always two pins at 30 mm spacing, no spacers needed. The wavy profile sweeps more aggressively on rough or heavily soiled ground.
Flat Wafer Brush
18 mm flat galvanised ring, single pin, mounted with spacers between segments. The universal replacement segment for road sweepers and skid-steer angle brooms.
Poly / Wire Combo Wafer
Wire outer tufts scrape, poly inner rows sweep the fines. The general-purpose choice for mixed municipal duty, with lower noise and less surface damage.
Flat Wire Wafer Brush
Flat shape wafer brushes generally have only one pin in the Inner Ring, but some special sweeping machines require two pins. The convoluted shape wafer brushes always have two pins in the Inner Ring.
Applications
Wherever a spinning drum has to move heavy, abrasive debris at speed.

Frequently Asked Questions
A sweeper wafer brush is a broom segment in which poly or steel filaments are melted and pressed into a wide, hard galvanised steel ring that is clamped very tightly. One or two metal pins sit inside the ring to key the segment onto the broom shaft. Individual wafers stack along a wafer rack to build the full-width broom core, which means a worn section is replaced on its own instead of the entire broom.
Flat wafers are 18 mm thick, normally use a single pin, and mount with spacers between segments — they are the economical universal replacement. Convoluted (wavy, cambered, zig-zag) wafers are 45 mm high, always use two pins at 30 mm spacing, and need no spacers; the wavy profile sweeps more aggressively on rough or heavily compacted ground. Angled (sloped) rings are also available for specific machines.
All-poly suits smooth asphalt, residential streets and decorative paving where scratching matters, and is the quietest option. All-steel wire handles gravel, compacted dirt, construction residue and snow. The poly/wire combo is the general-purpose choice: wire scrapes, poly sweeps the fines, and the mix reduces noise and surface damage.
Record four values and you have a complete order specification: inner diameter (ID), outer diameter (OD), ring height (18 mm flat / 45 mm convoluted) and the pin configuration (number of pins, pin diameter, and the 30 mm spacing). A photo of the worn wafer beside a ruler is usually enough for our technical team to identify the part and quote the exact replacement.
They fit road sweepers, street sweepers, skid-steer loaders and tractor- or truck-mounted brooms, including Bobcat (Doosan), CASE, Caterpillar, John Deere and Kubota construction sweepers, plus municipal machines from Elgin Pelican, Tymco, Dulevo, Johnston, Scarab, Ravo, Schmidt, Boschung and Bucher. Send your machine model to confirm the fit.
MOQ is 50 pcs per standard wafer size, and free samples ship within 3 days. For a mixed fleet we can put several sizes and filament types into one sample box so your fitters can confirm the fit before you commit.
A wafer brush is the round disc segment that stacks onto the broom shaft and actually sweeps the surface. A strip brush is a straight metal channel holding one continuous row of filaments — on a sweeper it seals the hopper and broom hood to contain dust; it does not sweep. Both are consumables on the same machine, and we manufacture both.
