Industrial Cleaning Machine Rancho Cucamonga

Used Industrial Cleaning Machine Rancho Cucamonga - Modern commercial floor scrubbers save time and are a cost efficient method of cleaning and maintaining large floor surfaces. Labor expenses make up about 90% of total expenses when it comes to maintaining floors. Large areas can be cleaned thoroughly and with less staff when commercial floor scrubbers are utilized. Commercial floor scrubbers are available in several automated types. Technology has advanced and commercial floor scrubbers have robotic upgrades to simplify their design. Floor scrubbers are equipped with an automated system which dispenses a cleaning compound. Some automatic floor scrubbing models within a vacuum system may be fitted at the rear of the machine with a squeegee attachment behind the suction nozzle. There are separate recovery and collection tanks situated on the machine. The cleaning mixture is held in the dispersing tank while the collection tank is home to the material gathered by the vacuum and the liquids accumulated there. 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. First, the automatic scrubber dispenses the cleaning solution and the scrubbing system is activated to loosen stains and dirt which are next suctioned into the collection tank of the machine when it passes over a location. 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. 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. 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. Soft brushes can be utilized to clean synthetic floors, textured tile and rubber and harder bristles can be used for cleaning grouted tile, concrete and other harder surfaces. 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. 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 Walk behind floor scrubbers are equipped with a forward assist mechanism that gently propels the machine forward when the feature is enabled by the operator. 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 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. 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 the field of autonomous robotics have created a new group of floor-scrubbing machines. 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. 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. The first models of residential cleaning machines operated in a random cleaning pattern. 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. 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. 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. 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. This feature allows for removal of debris before scrubbing without the need for a traditional broom or dry mop. 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. Previously, the cleaning crew was required to dry mop or sweep the location before employing the floor scrubber to collect any dust and debris that might harm the machine. 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 Stripping solutions cannot be used with most floor scrubbing models as they can damage the solution dispensing system. Stripping solutions can be safely vacuumed up by the machine without causing damage. It is recommended maintenance to use a vinegar and water mixture to periodically flush out the solution system to remove any soap or calcium deposits. Industrial Cleaning Machine PDF
