S800 Ride-On Sweeper Case Study: Aluminum Casting Plant – Dust Control & Scrap Recovery

Basic Information

• Industry: Aluminum Casting / Automotive Lightweight Materials

• Application: Factory floor sweeping, dust suppression, aluminum chip & dross recovery

• Solution: SIBEN S800 Ride-On Industrial Sweeper with integrated vacuum

1. The Challenge

A major aluminum producer (203-acre plant, 200,000 tons annual output, 40+ alloys, 140+ products for auto engines) faced severe cleaning problems:

① Fine aluminum dust, dross, and shavings covered vast casting floors.

② Manual sweeping stirred up secondary dust, harming worker health and product quality.

③ Cleaning required multiple shifts of staff, with high turnover and rising labor costs.

The company needed a cleaning solution that could clean efficiently, control dust, and recover valuable aluminum scrap for reuse.

2. The Cleaning Solution: SIBEN S800

After previous good experience with SIBEN models, the plant chose the S800, an S-Class ride-on industrial floor sweeper that combines sweeping, vacuum, dust suppression, and optional disinfection in one pass.

Key features for casting plants:

① Engineered dust control: Built-in vacuum captures fine aluminum dust at the brush, eliminating airborne dust clouds – crucial for combustible dust safety.

② Flexible sweeping width – Adjustable from 1.5 to 2 meters, covers narrow aisles, open floors, and outdoor yards without reconfiguration.

③ 240‑liter hopper – Collects aluminum chips and dross for direct recycling back to the melt furnace, turning waste into raw material.

3. The Results

Key outcomes:

• Labor costs cut by >50% – one machine replaces 2–3 cleaners.

• Floor cleanliness improved dramatically – passes audits and client inspections.

• Aluminum scrap recovered – reduces raw material purchases and supports circular economy.

• Professional plant image – clean floors impress visitors and regulators.

4. Built-In Reliability

The S800 comes with 2‑year full machine warranty, free on‑site training tailored to your floor layout, and a responsive local service network across Southern China.

5. Why Your Plant Needs This

If you handle aluminum casting, die-casting, or metal recycling, you face:

• Combustible dust compliance – uncontrolled sweeping creates explosion risks.

• Labor shortages – mechanized cleaning is now a cost necessity.

• Scrap value – aluminum chips are feedstock, not waste.

The S800 solves all three cleaning problems – proven in one of the region’s busiest aluminum plants.
