Industrial Cleaning Machine Visalia
Used Industrial Cleaning Machine Visalia - 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. Commercial floor scrubbers provide a way to clean large areas quicker and with fewer workers.
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 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 main types of floor scrubber heads including cylindrical, rotary (also known as disk), and square oscillating.
Rotary or Disk Floor Scrubber Head
The rotary or disk model of floor scrubber head is the most common type. 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. The multiple brush types available make cleaning various types of flooring possible. 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
The square oscillating floor scrubber features a flat pad that scrubs the floor at high speed. 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. 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
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 scrubbers offer an increased efficiency for greater areas than a walk-behind machine, while being more affordable than a rider floor scrubber. These machines are also typically smaller than a rider machine so can fit into areas a rider floor scrubber could not and have increased maneuverability. Since the operator is standing, these units provide better line-of-sight compared to walk-behind and rider models.
Rider Floor Scrubbers
The rider units allow the operator to be seated while the machine is in operation. They work in much the same way as the stand-on floor scrubbers but require even less effort because of the ability to sit comfortably, reducing fatigue. This translates to an greater ability to cover very large areas quickly, offering approximately 65 percent greater efficiency than a walk-behind floor scrubber.
Robotic Floor Scrubbers
Technological design advancements within the field of autonomous robotics have helped to create a new army 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.
New technology is developing all the time and the capacity for robotic floor scrubbers will only increase. 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 enable the unit to be precise when determining its particular location in large locations including airports, convention centers and shopping malls.
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. These machines travel in a consistent and predictable manner every time they are in operation. Floor scrubber units clean more effectively than ever before thanks to their advanced technology. These machines are capable of safely navigating around obstacles or people while they operate 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 normally translates to certain locations requiring to be cleaned in traditional methods. 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. These upgrades increase efficiency and cleanliness by allowing the operator to do everything with the machine. 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 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. 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. Some floor scrubbers are even able to clean without water and chemicals at all.
Solution Dispensing System Maintenance and Considerations
Stripping solutions cannot be used with most floor scrubbing models as they can damage the solution dispensing system. However, they can still be vacuumed up by the machine without damage. 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.
