ODRA Sweeper Parts

The most common cause of chain failure is wearing or cutting of pins caused by rotation inside the link plate. It’s crucial to follow proper chain installation, maintenance and shortening. Each chain purchased from ODRA includes instructions and chain wear gauge.

OEM original ODRA drag shoe runners are made from HARDOX 400, world leading abrasion resistant steel made by SSAB and imported from Sweden. 25/32″ (20 mm) thick steel plates are laser cut and formed by press brake. Every runner is painted using CED (Cathodic Electro Deposition) and powder coating. All of this is done to give you the best quality parts for the best price.

Most common problem causing mechanical sweeper to leave material behind is a gap between main broom and drag shoe runner. To avoid this problem, we at ODRA pay special attention to the manufacturing process of these critical components. The arm is laser cut and bushing are welded in a special jig. After welding, bushings (both ends) are machined to assure diameter accuracy and alignment, removing any possible welding distortion. ODRA’s 2" chromed pins and composite bushings with rings are guaranteed for long sweeping time without “trailing”. Strength of drag shoe arm was tested to assure that in case of collision with manhole cover, arm will act as a fuse and bend, rather than damaging mounting pin. This aspect is very important to avoid painful and costly repairs.

The conveyor is the only assembly on ODRA sweepers that contains moving parts (chains, sprockets, squeegees). Perfected over the years to increase its longevity, these high-wear components may still need to be replaced over the years. Priced reasonably compared to industry standard, we recommend always having one spare conveyor on-hand. This way, when needed, the entire conveyor assembly can be changed within one hour (yes, it’s that easy!) and your sweeper can get back to work.
