Reasons why you should choose Kersten Weed Brush
When moss and weeds become established on hard surfaces, they are difficult to remove with a sweeper. For this application, we have made the Weedbrush.
Kersten WeedBrushes have been designed to quickly remove weeds and moss, along with the soil they grow in, from hard surfaces like tarmac and block paving. We achieve this with several features not typically found on other Weedbrushes.
Brush
The WeedBrush is fitted with Versa or Hausa Brushes.
Versa Brush
The Versa Brush is a versatile option featuring a smart design with two types of wire. The thick, wide inner wire acts like a scoop, lifting dirt and moss from surfaces and cutting weeds, while the thinner outer wire sweeps away debris like a broom. It's perfect for general cleaning tasks such as moss removal, kerb lines, or block paving. For more delicate surfaces, we also offer a nylon variant that fits the same mounting bracket as the standard brush.
Hausa Brush
The Hausa Brush is a heavy-duty solution for demanding tasks like clearing heavily overgrown paths or areas overrun with muck. This brush is constructed with a dense bundle of twisted wires for added toughness, allowing it to tackle the most challenging jobs. It's compatible with any machine that uses Versa brushes and comes with a separate mounting bracket for easy installation and replacement.
Angling
The WeedBrush can be angled in all directions for getting into cracks and crevices. Using the brush on an angle allows it to penetrate the joints in surfaces such as block paving and cope with cambers.
Attack angle
The Kersten WeedBrush is set up to be used almost perpendicular to the ground. This has several key benefits, including increased pressure to remove the soil, and reduced brush wear, as it is wearing the tip, not the side of the brush. It also allows the brush more access into pockets and cracks in the surface, ensuring a cleaner finish.
Pressure
Brush height and pressure are controlled by an adjustable castor wheel placed close to the brush and a weight on top. This allows the pressure to be adjusted to suit the application, achieving a perfect combination of cleaning performance and brush life.
Stone Guard
To reduce stone throwing, our WeedBrushes rotate at very low speeds of between 180 – 400 rpm. Because of the high torque, we are still able to achieve a great finish, but the lower speed gives much less energy to stones and other debris so they are not turned into dangerous projectiles. A protective guard also helps to keep material close to the brush, so the arisings are easy to clean up after WeedBrushing. The slow rotation speed has the added benefit of creating less vibration.
Just Add Water...
By adding water, the WeedBrush is able to scrub dirt and algae from surfaces such as sandstone and other paving.

Kersten offers a comprehensive range of weed brushes including hand-held, pedestrian dedicated, pedestrian WKB attachments, tractor-mounted WKB 40, UB 6080, and UB EASY weed brushes. These are tailored for both small and large-scale weed and moss removal from various hard surfaces.
Kersten WeedBrushes are designed for effective weed and moss removal using several features. They are fitted with Versa or Hausa Brushes, can be angled in all directions to penetrate cracks, utilize an almost perpendicular attack angle for increased pressure and reduced wear, and have adjustable brush height and pressure control for optimal performance and brush life.
Kersten WeedBrushes are available with Versa or Hausa Brushes. The Versa Brush has an inner wire for lifting dirt and cutting weeds, and an outer wire for sweeping debris, also available in nylon. The Hausa Brush is a heavy-duty option with a dense bundle of twisted wires for challenging tasks and heavily overgrown areas.
Kersten WeedBrushes rotate at very low speeds of 180-400 rpm to minimize stone throwing. Despite the low speed, high torque ensures a great finish. This reduced speed lessens the energy transferred to stones and debris, preventing them from becoming dangerous projectiles. A protective guard also helps contain material close to the brush.
Yes, by adding water, the Kersten WeedBrush can effectively scrub dirt and algae from various surfaces. This capability extends its utility beyond just removing weeds and moss, making it suitable for cleaning tasks on materials such as sandstone and other types of paving.
