[MikePhua]

Overview
Engcon, a leader in tiltrotator technology for excavators (ranging from 6 to 33 tons), offers a detachable rotating brush attachment designed for efficient, safe, and labor-saving site cleaning tasks. This rotating brush is part of Engcon's modular tool system, compatible with their quick hitch tiltrotators, enabling fast tool changes and versatile jobsite use.
Design and Features

• The brush mounts on the quick hitch's two robust hooks, enabling attachment and removal with a single operation in under a minute.
  
• A powerful hydraulic motor drives the brush rotation, with speed adjustable via a geared chain drive.
  
• The brush can be hydraulically folded up or down using a cylinder, providing operational flexibility and avoiding damage during transport or storage.
  
• Width is adjustable to suit different tasks, ranging from narrow cable sweeping to broad area debris removal.
  
• The robust open design allows easy access for maintenance, cleaning, and replacement.
  

Applications

• Cable sweeping to safely expose buried cables and pipes while preventing damage.
  
• Cleaning construction sites, sweep gravel or soil into buckets, reducing manual labor and improving efficiency.
  
• Maintenance tasks on roads, utility sites, and urban environments where versatility and precise cleaning are required.
  

Safety and Ergonomics

• The quick hitch locking system incorporates safety features, including ground contact pressure sensing which prevents accidental tool release.
  
• Audible and visual lock status indicators alert operators and on-site personnel to secure attachment status.
  
• The rotating brush reduces operator fatigue and enhances jobsite safety by minimizing manual brooming tasks.
  

Compatibility and Operation

• Fits Engcon’s tiltrotators with quick hitches (models S45-S70) for excavators between 6 and 33 metric tons.
  
• Requires hydraulic flow approximately 20 to 70 liters per minute depending on model and operation.
  
• Controlled via Engcon’s proportional hydraulic control system (e.g., DC2), ensuring smooth, precise brush rotation speed and tilt positioning.
  

Terminology

• Tiltrotator: Excavator-mounted accessory enabling 360-degree rotation and 2-axis tilt of attachments.
  
• Quick Hitch: Hydraulic or mechanical coupler for fast, safe attachment swapping.
  
• Proportional Control: Hydraulic control providing variable speed and positioning.
  
• Hydraulic Motor: Motor converting hydraulic fluid power into rotational motion.
  
• Q-Safe® System: Engcon’s safety and locking system preventing accidental detachment.
  

Additional Accessories
