Industrial Cleaning Machine Santa Maria

Used Industrial Cleaning Machine Santa Maria - Modern commercial floor scrubbers save time and are a cost efficient method of cleaning and maintaining large floor surfaces. Surveys reveal that labor expenses account for approximately 90% of the overall expense to maintain large floors surfaces. It is possible to save time, money and labor when you switch to commercial floor scrubbers. There are a variety of automated commercial floor scrubbing models available on the market. Technology has advanced and commercial floor scrubbers have robotic upgrades to simplify their design. Floor scrubbers are equipped with an automated system which dispenses a cleaning compound. Behind the suction nozzle on the vacuum, a squeegee attachment can be located on automatic floor scrubbers to add to their cleaning capacity. These units also have separate dispensing and collection or recovery tanks. The dispensing tank holds the cleaning mixture and the collection tank holds the liquids and material gathered by the vacuum system. This ensures that the clean water and dirty water are kept separate which makes floor scrubbers a more hygienic alternative to traditional cleaning methods such as a mop and bucket. The automatic scrubber operates by first dispensing the cleaning compound from the dispensing tank, then using the scrubbing system, to push the cleaning compound into the floor surface and loosen dirt, stains and marks which are then quickly suctioned into the machine’s collection tank as the unit makes its pass over an area. Automatic Floor Scrubber Head Types Automatic floor scrubbers are available in three common types of floor scrubber heads: 1. Rotary, sometimes referred to as disk; 2. Cylindrical; and 3. Square oscillating. Rotary or Disk Floor Scrubber Head The disk or rotary model of floor scrubber head is the most popular kind. They operate in a circular motion with one or two round brushes or pads that push a cleaning solution into the floor. Cylindrical Floor Scrubber Head The cylindrical floor scrubber head uses counter rotating tube style brushes that rotate at a 90 degree angle to the floor. This type of design allows for better cleaning of irregular or uneven locations. The cylindrical floor scrubbing machines often have a collection tray found behind the scrubber head to enable easier pickup of small items such as pebbles or nails. Different brush styles make it easy to clean a wide variety of floor surfaces. Different brush styles make cleaning easier. Rubber, synthetic floors and textured tile surfaces respond well to soft bristles and concrete or grouted tile surfaces rely on harder brushes. Square Oscillating Floor Scrubber Head Square oscillating floor scrubbers have a flat pad which vibrates at high speed to scrub the floor. The square design makes is easier to clean close to walls and in corners. When used with a special stripping pad, square scrubber heads are able to strip floor finish from a floor. They also work well for cleaning vinyl tile floors. Due to the high-speed oscillation, the square pads deliver more agitation and floor cleaning power. Cleaning grouted tile is much easier when these oscillating pads are utilized. Floor Scrubber Categories There are four categories of floor scrubbers: Robotic, Rider, Stand-on and Walk-behind. Walk-Behind Floor Scrubbers The walk-behind floor scrubber units have a forward assist feature that softly propels the machine forward when the operator enables this item. This forward assist feature helps the operator continue working for extended periods of time, helping to prevent fatigue by increasing efficiency compared to manual models. Stand-On Floor Scrubbers Stand-on floor scrubbing models showcase more efficiency for cleaning larger locations in comparison to walk-behind units. These machines are more affordable than rider floor scrubber models. Stand-on floor scrubbers have greater maneuverability are usually more compact than a rider machine, enabling it to fit into locations that a rider unit would have a difficult time accessing. Since the operator is standing, these units provide better line-of-sight compared to walk-behind and rider models. Rider Floor Scrubbers Rider floor scrubbers allow for the operator to be seated on the machine while operating. They work in much the same way as the stand-on floor scrubbers but require even less effort because of the ability to sit comfortably, reducing fatigue. These models are more efficient compared to the walk-behind units, offering 65% more efficiency, enabling larger areas of the floor to be cleaned with ease. Robotic Floor Scrubbers Advancements in the field of autonomous robotics have created a new group of floor-scrubbing machines. These robotic floor scrubbers were generated by merging the features of automatic floor scrubbers with robotic features of self-control operations without an operator. Popular locations where commercial floor scrubbers are employed include retail, healthcare, education centers and in manufacturing locations. Some commercial robotic floor scrubbing machines are able to clean up to a 10,000-square-foot area in one hour. As exciting new developments in robotic continue to develop, it is expected that the capability of robotic floor scrubbers will increase over time. Increased development projections include advanced sensors and computing mechanisms. The latest generation of mobile robotics sensors allow a robotic floor scrubber a longer range of detection of surrounding walls and objects. This will allow the machine to determine its exact location in larger environments, such as shopping malls, convention centers and airports. A random cleaning pattern was first established with the initial floor scrubbing models. Updated models of commercial floor scrubbing units can complete their jobs much more accurately. Newer floor scrubbing models operate in a predictable pattern to cover the floor as efficiently as possible. Because of these advancing capabilities which allow these robotic floor scrubbers to know precisely where they have already cleaned and what areas they must still clean, they miss very few, if any, areas of the floor. These machines are capable of safely navigating around obstacles or people while they operate autonomously. Additional Floor Scrubber Options and Considerations Hard to Reach Areas It is difficult for floor scrubbing machines to reach certain corners, edges or around water fountains or similar fixtures. This would normally necessitate mopping in these areas too small to fit an automatic floor scrubber. However, some manufacturers now produce floor scrubbers with oscillating brush decks which allow the scrubber to reach these difficult areas. Pre-Sweeping and Vacuum System Maintenance Newer floor scrubbers usually include an option that allows for a pre-sweep prior to the wet scrub. This allows the machine to remove debris prior to scrubbing without having to employ a traditional dry mop or broom. Loose items and dust are collected by the pre-sweep brush head and placed into the collection chamber located in front of the vacuums system. This design helps to avoid any blockages occurring in the motor or vacuum hose. It was previously necessary to sweep with a broom or dry mop to dispose of debris and dust that might clog the vacuum hose or accumulate in the vacuum motor and negatively affect performance. In the event a blockage occurs, the vacuum hose may need to be removed and cleaned. Occasionally, the vacuum motor may need to be blown out with compressed air to clear away any debris. Environmental Options Some models of floor scrubbers have been designed with environmentally friendly options in mind. There are more environmental features incorporated into certain designs including safer soaps and water-saving systems to reduce the greywater and the chemicals. Certain floor scrubbers are available to clean without any water or chemicals. Solution Dispensing System Maintenance and Considerations Stripping solutions cannot be used with most floor scrubbing models as they can damage the solution dispensing system. However, they can still be vacuumed up by the machine without damage. It is recommended maintenance to use a vinegar and water mixture to periodically flush out the solution system to remove any soap or calcium deposits. Industrial Cleaning Machine PDF
