Industrial Cleaning Machine Yukon

Used Industrial Cleaning Machine Yukon - 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. It is possible to save time, money and labor when you switch to commercial floor scrubbers. Commercial floor scrubbers are available in several automated types. Many technological advancements feature robotic upgrades to make commercial floor scrubbers more user-friendly. Commercial floor scrubbers have an automated system for dispensing their cleaning compounds more efficiently. 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. These machines feature separate recovery or collection tanks. The dispensing tank holds the cleaning mixture and the collection tank holds the liquids and material gathered by the vacuum system. Having separation between dirty water and clean water creates a more sanitary cleaning option. 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 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 Rotating at a 90-degree angle to the floor, the cylindrical floor scrubber model features counter-rotating tube designed brushes to facilitate cleaning. This type of design allows for better cleaning of irregular or uneven locations. 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. The multiple brush types available make cleaning various types of flooring possible. 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 Square oscillating floor scrubbers have a flat pad which vibrates at high speed to scrub the floor. Corners and walls can be cleaned more efficiently thanks to the square head design. These machines can remove the floor finish when the square scrubbing heads are used in conjunction with special stripping pads. 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. These square pads are useful for cleaning grouted tile. 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. 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 scrubbing models showcase more efficiency for cleaning larger locations in comparison to walk-behind units. These machines are more affordable than rider floor scrubber models. Stand-on floor scrubbers offer increased maneuvering capacity and are smaller than rider models, making them capable of accessing more locations. Since the operator is standing, these units provide better line-of-sight compared to walk-behind and rider models. 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. Popular locations where commercial floor scrubbers are employed include retail, healthcare, education centers and in manufacturing locations. 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. Increased development projections include advanced sensors and computing mechanisms. The latest generation of mobile robotics sensors allow a robotic floor scrubber a longer range of detection of surrounding walls and objects. This will allow the machine to determine its exact location in larger environments, such as shopping malls, convention centers and airports. 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. 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 It is difficult for floor scrubbing machines to reach certain corners, edges or around water fountains or similar fixtures. 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 Newer floor scrubbers usually include an option that allows for a pre-sweep prior to the wet scrub. This allows the machine to remove debris prior to scrubbing without having to employ a traditional dry mop or broom. The collection chamber is situated in front of the vacuum system to catch loose debris and dust before these items can damage the unit. This helps to avoid a blockage in the vacuum hose or motor. 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. If blockages in the vacuum system do occur, the vacuum hose might need to be removed to clear the blockage. Occasionally, the vacuum motor may need to be blown out with compressed air to clear away any debris. 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 Stripping solutions are not compatible with most floor scrubbers as they can cause damage to the solution dispensing system. 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
