Industrial Cleaning Machine Fontana

Used Industrial Cleaning Machine Fontana - Commercial floor scrubbers provide an efficient, cost-effective and fast way to clean floor surfaces and are used for regular maintenance. 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. More recently, advancements in technology have brought about robotic versions of commercial floor scrubbers. These machines offer an automated system for evenly dispersing the cleaning compound at regular intervals. Behind the suction nozzle on the vacuum, a squeegee attachment can be located on automatic floor scrubbers to add to their cleaning capacity. These machines feature separate recovery or collection tanks. There are two tanks on the machine; the cleaning mixture is situated in the dispersing tank and the collection tank is where the materials collected by the vacuum accumulate. Having separation between dirty water and clean water creates a more sanitary cleaning option. The automatic scrubber initially dispenses the cleaning compound via the dispensing tank. Next, the scrubbing system pushes this solution into the floor to loosen marks, stains and dirt which become suctioned back into the collection tank as the machine makes a pass. 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 rotary or disk model of floor scrubber head is the most common type. 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. These allow for better cleaning of uneven or irregular surfaces. 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. It is possible to clean numerous types of flooring thanks to the variety of brush types available. 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. This square design enables faster and easier cleaning for corners and walls. 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. The square pads oscillate at high speeds, producing higher agitation, resulting in extra 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. The forward assist mechanism can help eliminate operator fatigue by enabling the operator to work longer in comparison to manual and traditional methods. Stand-On Floor Scrubbers The stand-on floor scrubber models provide better efficiency for larger spaces compared to walk-behind models and these units are more cost-efficient compared to a rider floor scrubber. Stand-on floor scrubbers offer increased maneuvering capacity and are smaller than rider models, making them capable of accessing more locations. Stand-on units provide the operator with a better view compared to rider models and walk-behind machines. Rider Floor Scrubbers Rider floor scrubber models enable the operator to sit down while operating the equipment. The rider models allow the operator to sit during the entire cleaning process, thus helping to reduce fatigue as they clean the floors. 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 technologies in the autonomous robotics field have produced a new niche of floor-scrubbing robots. These robotic floor scrubbers were generated by merging the features of automatic floor scrubbers with robotic features of self-control operations without an operator. Commercial models are suitable for education, retail, healthcare and manufacturing facilities. Some models of commercial floor scrubbers can efficiently clean up to 10,000 square-feet in sixty minutes. New technology is developing all the time and the capacity for robotic floor scrubbers will only increase. Improved computing technology and better sensors are some of the noted areas expected to become even more efficient. The latest advancements in mobile robotic sensors enable these floor scrubbing units to detect a wider range around walls and objects. This technology will help the machine note its location in expansive environments including shopping malls, airports and convention centers. 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. Very few locations (if any) on the floor are missed due to this advanced technology that communicates exactly where the machine has already cleaned and which areas are still outstanding. 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 Floor scrubbing machines can find it hard to navigate around fixtures such as water fountains or corners and edges. Typically, these locations would need to be cleaned with a mop and bucket if they could not accommodate the machine. There are oscillating brush decks available for certain floor scrubbing models to help them deal with hard-to-reach 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. These upgrades increase efficiency and cleanliness by allowing the operator to do everything with the machine. The collection chamber is situated in front of the vacuum system to catch loose debris and dust before these items can damage the unit. Blockages to the vacuum hose or motor are avoided with this pre-sweep brush head and collection design. It used to be commonplace to have the entire area first cleaned with a dry mop or broom to collect any debris or dust that might damage the unit or become lodged in the vacuum hose. Similar to residential vacuum systems, if a blockage happens, the vacuum hose may need to be removed to clear the area. In some cases, the vacuum motor might need to be blown out using compressed air. Environmental Options Environmentally friendly options are also available on some floor scrubbers. 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 wise to flush the solution system periodically with a mix of vinegar and water to remove any calcium and soap deposits that may accumulate over time. Industrial Cleaning Machine PDF
