Industrial Cleaning Machine Chula Vista

Used Industrial Cleaning Machine Chula Vista - Commercial floor scrubbers provide an efficient, cost-effective and fast way to clean floor surfaces and are used for regular maintenance. Did you know that according to surveys, roughly ninety percent of the maintenance for flooring expenses is related to labor? 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. Commercial floor scrubbers have an automated system for dispensing their cleaning compounds more efficiently. 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 design keeps dirty and clean water away from each other to create a more hygienic option compared to traditional mop and bucket methods. 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 There are three basic types of floor scrubber heads, square oscillating, cylindrical and rotary which are often called “discs”. Rotary or Disk Floor Scrubber Head The rotary or disk model of floor scrubber head is the most common type. 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. These allow for better cleaning of uneven or irregular surfaces. Machines utilizing a cylindrical scrubber head commonly have a collection tray located behind the scrubber head that allow for collection of larger objects such as nails and stones, eliminating the need to pick up smaller objects before cleaning. 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 There is a flat pad on square oscillating floor scrubbing models that vibrate at high speed to clean the floor. This square design enables faster and easier cleaning for corners and walls. These machines can remove the floor finish when the square scrubbing heads are used in conjunction with special stripping pads. Vinyl tile flooring can also benefit from being cleaned with square oscillating pads. Because the square pad oscillates at very high speed, they apply more agitation to the floor resulting in more cleaning power. These square pads are useful for cleaning grouted tile. Floor Scrubber Categories Four main categories comprise the floor scrubber family including Stand-on, Walk-behind, Robotic and Rider models. 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 helps curb fatigue of the operator which allows the operator to continue for a longer period of time, reducing fatigue and greatly increasing efficiency when compared to traditional manual 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 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 The rider units allow the operator to be seated while the machine is in operation. 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. This design facilitates up to sixty-five percent more efficiency in comparison to the walk-behind models and allows large areas of the floor to be covered more efficiently. Robotic Floor Scrubbers Technological design advancements within the field of autonomous robotics have helped to create a new army of floor-scrubbing machines. Robotic floor scrubbing models were created by combining robotic self-control options with automatic floor scrubbing technology. Popular locations where commercial floor scrubbers are employed include retail, healthcare, education centers and in manufacturing locations. Some models of commercial floor scrubbers can efficiently clean up to 10,000 square-feet in sixty minutes. As exciting new developments in robotic continue to develop, it is expected that the capability of robotic floor scrubbers will increase over time. Areas of increased development are expected specifically with improved sensors and computing components. Mobile robotic sensors enable today’s floor scrubbers to complete a wider detection range around objects and walls. 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. Nowadays, commercial robotic floor scrubbers can execute an accurate map for cleaning. 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. Robotic floor scrubbers are also designed to navigate around people and obstacles that they encounter during autonomous operation. 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. 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 Pre-sweeping features and vacuum systems enable newer models to complete a dry cleaning before the wet scrub option. 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. 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. In the event a blockage occurs, the vacuum hose may need to be removed and cleaned. The vacuum motor may need to be blown out with compressed air to dislodge the blockage. Environmental Options Some models of floor scrubbers have been designed with environmentally friendly options in mind. Safe soaps and water-saving systems work to save on both the number of chemicals used as well as the amount of greywater produced. Some floor scrubbers are even able to clean without water and chemicals at all. Solution Dispensing System Maintenance and Considerations Damage can occur to the solution dispensing system if stripping solutions are added to traditional floor scrubbers. 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
