Industrial Cleaning Machine Hayward

Used Industrial Cleaning Machine Hayward - Commercial floor scrubbers provide an efficient, cost-effective and fast way to clean floor surfaces and are used for regular maintenance. 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. 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. 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. 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 There are three main types of floor scrubber heads including cylindrical, rotary (also known as disk), and square oscillating. Rotary or Disk Floor Scrubber Head The disk or rotary model of floor scrubber head is the most popular kind. 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 Rotating at a 90-degree angle to the floor, the cylindrical floor scrubber model features counter-rotating tube designed brushes to facilitate cleaning. 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. 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. 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. Cleaning grouted tile is much easier when these oscillating pads are utilized. 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 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 technologies in the autonomous robotics field have produced a new niche of floor-scrubbing robots. These units were born by joining self-control robotic features with automatic floor scrubbing options. Commercial models are suitable for education, retail, healthcare and manufacturing facilities. Some models of commercial floor scrubbers can efficiently clean up to 10,000 square-feet in sixty minutes. With continuous development in robotic technology, the advancement of robotic floor scrubbers will intensify over the years. Improved computing technology and better sensors are some of the noted areas expected to become even more efficient. The latest advancements in mobile robotic sensors enable these floor scrubbing units to detect a wider range around walls and objects. This will allow the machine to determine its exact location in larger environments, such as shopping malls, convention centers and airports. The first models of residential cleaning machines operated in a random cleaning pattern. 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. Floor scrubber units clean more effectively than ever before thanks to their advanced technology. 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 Floor scrubbing machines can find it hard to navigate around fixtures such as water fountains or corners and edges. This normally translates to certain locations requiring to be cleaned in traditional methods. 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 Newer floor scrubbers usually include an option that allows for a pre-sweep prior to the wet scrub. These upgrades increase efficiency and cleanliness by allowing the operator to do everything with the machine. The pre-sweep brush head and collection chamber is placed in front of the vacuum system to collect dust and loose debris before it is able to reach the the vacuum system. This helps to avoid a blockage in the vacuum hose or motor. 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. If blockages in the vacuum system do occur, the vacuum hose might need to be removed to clear the blockage. 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. 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 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
