 ABSTRACT

One of the most common methods of removing moss, is with the use of a stiff broom or

wire brush (Perrand, 2019) which when done manually can be labor intensive. In order to reduce

strain on the worker, ergonomic principles are employed, including that of the production of

ergonomic tools and equipment.

Additionally, making cleaning more comfortable especially on cemented surfaces, the

researchers decided to fabricate a rotary brush sweeper operated electrically. The produced

project is designed to remove the moss, algae, and other dirt on rough surfaces that cannot be

taken easily by using simple stiff brooms and other cleaning materials.
