Industrial Cleaning Machine Ventura

Used Industrial Cleaning Machine Ventura - Modern commercial floor scrubbers save time and are a cost efficient method of cleaning and maintaining large floor surfaces. Did you know that according to surveys, roughly ninety percent of the maintenance for flooring expenses is related to labor? Commercial floor scrubbers provide a way to clean large areas quicker and with fewer workers. Commercial floor scrubbers are available in several automated types. 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 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 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 rotary or disk style floor scrubber head is the most common type of scrubber head. They use a circular motion with one or two round pads or brushes to push a cleaning compound into the floor. Cylindrical Floor Scrubber Head A cylindrical floor scrubber model relies on counter-rotating tube brushes which rotate at a ninety-degree 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. 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 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. When used with a special stripping pad, square scrubber heads are able to strip floor finish from a floor. This combination additionally is helpful for cleaning vinyl tile flooring. 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 There is a forward assist feature on walk-behind floor scrubbing models that helps to propel the unit forward when the operator enables this mechanism. 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 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 scrubbers allow for the operator to be seated on the machine while operating. 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 Advancements in technologies in the autonomous robotics field have produced a new niche of floor-scrubbing robots. Robotic floor scrubbing models were created by combining robotic self-control options with automatic floor scrubbing technology. 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. New technology is developing all the time and the capacity for robotic floor scrubbers will only increase. 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. Early models of residential cleaning robots followed a random pattern when cleaning. However, commercial robotic floor scrubbers are now able to create an accurate plan for cleaning. This allows these robots to cover the entire floor in a predictable and consistent pattern each time they operate. Floor scrubber units clean more effectively than ever before thanks to their advanced technology. 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. This would normally necessitate mopping in these areas too small to fit an automatic floor scrubber. Some floor scrubbing manufacturers have created oscillating brushes that enable the machine to access tricky locations. Pre-Sweeping and Vacuum System Maintenance Advanced models feature a pre-sweep option and vacuum system to be used before the wet scrub. These upgrades increase efficiency and cleanliness by allowing the operator to do everything with the machine. 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. Similar to residential vacuum systems, if a blockage happens, the vacuum hose may need to be removed to clear the area. Occasionally, the vacuum motor may need to be blown out with compressed air to clear away any debris. 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 are not compatible with most floor scrubbers as they can cause damage to the solution dispensing system. These solutions can be vacuumed up safely without causing damage to the machine. The solution system should be periodically flushed with a water and vinegar mixture to clean the system of any soap and calcium deposits that can accumulate in the solution system.
