Industrial Cleaning Machine Glendale

Used Industrial Cleaning Machine Glendale - Save hours of time by relying on commercial floor scrubbers to provide an efficient method for cleaning and maintaining floors in an efficient manner. 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. Many technological advancements feature robotic upgrades to make commercial floor scrubbers more user-friendly. 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. There are separate recovery and collection tanks situated on the machine. 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 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 style floor scrubber head is the most common type of scrubber head. 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 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. 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. 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. They do very well when 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 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. 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 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. Because the operator is in a standing position, stand-on floor scrubbers also offer a better line-of-sight than both rider machines 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. 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 Advancements in the field of autonomous robotics have created a new group of floor-scrubbing machines. These units were born by joining self-control robotic features with automatic floor scrubbing options. Commercial floor scrubbers are commonly found in manufacturing facilities, healthcare, retail and education centers. Some commercial robotic floor scrubbing machines are able to clean up to a 10,000-square-foot area in one hour. With continuous development in robotic technology, the advancement of robotic floor scrubbers will intensify over the years. Areas of increased development are expected specifically with improved sensors and computing components. The latest generation of mobile robotics sensors allow a robotic floor scrubber a longer range of detection of surrounding 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. 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. These machines travel in a consistent and predictable manner every time they are in operation. 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. 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 It is difficult for floor scrubbing machines to reach certain corners, edges or around water fountains or similar fixtures. This normally translates to certain locations requiring to be cleaned in traditional methods. 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. 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. If blockages in the vacuum system do occur, the vacuum hose might need to be removed to clear the blockage. 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. Safe soaps and water-saving systems work to save on both the number of chemicals used as well as the amount of greywater produced. 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. These solutions can be vacuumed up safely without causing damage to the machine. 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
