Industrial Cleaning Machine Pomona

Used Industrial Cleaning Machine Pomona - 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. Large areas can be cleaned thoroughly and with less staff when commercial floor scrubbers are utilized. 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. In addition, automatic floor scrubbers include a vacuum system and are usually fitted with a squeegee attachment located at the back of the machine, behind the vacuum’s suction nozzle. 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. 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. These models operate in a circular movement and some of their brushes or pads spin a cleaning compound into the floor prior to suction. 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. Scrubbers relying on a cylindrical head typically have a collection unit found behind the scrubber head that allows for bigger items including stones and nails to be collected to eliminate having to sweep the floor before cleaning. It is possible to clean numerous types of flooring thanks to the variety of brush types available. A softer brush can be used to clean rubber, textured tile and synthetic floors while a stiffer brush can be used for rough surfaces such as concrete and grouted tile. 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. Vinyl tile flooring can also benefit from being cleaned with square oscillating pads. The square pads oscillate at high speeds, producing higher agitation, resulting in extra cleaning power. They do very well when cleaning grouted tile. 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 Stand-on floor scrubbers offer an increased efficiency for greater areas than a walk-behind machine, while being more affordable than a rider floor scrubber. 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. 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. These machines clean in a similar manner and reduce operator fatigue due to their comfortable seating. 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 Technological design advancements within the field of autonomous robotics have helped to create a new army 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. Commercial floor scrubbers are commonly found in manufacturing facilities, healthcare, retail and education centers. Certain robotic commercial units are capable of cleaning an area up to ten thousand square feet 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. 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 will enable the unit to be precise when determining its particular location in large locations including airports, convention centers and shopping malls. Early models of residential cleaning robots followed a random pattern when cleaning. 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. Special sensors help the robotic floor scrubbers navigate around obstacles and people when they encounter any while operating autonomously. Additional Floor Scrubber Options and Considerations Hard to Reach Areas Many floor scrubbers are unable to reach edges, corners or under or around fixtures such as water fountains. Typically, these locations would need to be cleaned with a mop and bucket if they could not accommodate the machine. 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 Pre-sweeping features and vacuum systems enable newer models to complete a dry cleaning before the wet scrub option. These upgrades increase efficiency and cleanliness by allowing the operator to do everything with the machine. The pre-sweep brush head and collection chamber is placed in front of the vacuum system to collect dust and loose debris before it is able to reach the the vacuum 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. Similar to residential vacuum systems, if a blockage happens, the vacuum hose may need to be removed to clear the area. The vacuum motor may need to be blown out with compressed air to dislodge the blockage. Environmental Options Environmentally friendly options are also available on some floor scrubbers. Safe soaps and water-saving systems work to save on both the number of chemicals used as well as the amount of greywater produced. There are some floor scrubbers on the market with the capacity to clean with zero chemicals or water. Solution Dispensing System Maintenance and Considerations Damage can occur to the solution dispensing system if stripping solutions are added to traditional floor scrubbers. Stripping solutions can be safely vacuumed up by the machine without causing 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
