Industrial Cleaning Machine Concord
Used Industrial Cleaning Machine Concord - Commercial floor scrubbers provide an efficient, cost-effective and fast way to clean floor surfaces and are used for regular maintenance. Surveys reveal that labor expenses account for approximately 90% of the overall expense to maintain large floors surfaces. Commercial floor scrubbers provide a way to clean large areas quicker and with fewer workers.
Commercial floor scrubbers are available in several automated types. Technology has advanced and commercial floor scrubbers have robotic upgrades to simplify their design.
These machines offer an automated system for evenly dispersing the cleaning compound at regular intervals. Behind the suction nozzle on the vacuum, a squeegee attachment can be located on automatic floor scrubbers to add to their cleaning capacity. 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. This design keeps dirty and clean water away from each other to create a more hygienic option compared to traditional mop and bucket methods.
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 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
A cylindrical floor scrubber model relies on counter-rotating tube brushes which rotate at a ninety-degree to the floor. This style of brushes facilitates better cleaning for irregular or uneven 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. It is possible to clean numerous types of flooring thanks to the variety of brush types available. 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. This square design enables faster and easier cleaning for corners and walls. Square scrubbing heads can be used with a specific stripping pad to take the floor finish away. This combination additionally is helpful for cleaning vinyl tile flooring. 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. These machines clean in a similar manner and reduce operator fatigue due to their comfortable seating. 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. These robotic floor scrubbers were generated by merging the features of automatic floor scrubbers with robotic features of self-control operations without an operator. 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. Mobile robotic sensors enable today’s floor scrubbers to complete a wider detection range around objects and walls. 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. Updated models of commercial floor scrubbing units can complete their jobs much more accurately. This allows these robots to cover the entire floor in a predictable and consistent pattern each time they operate. 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
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. 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 helps to avoid a blockage in the vacuum hose or motor. 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. In the event a blockage occurs, the vacuum hose may need to be removed and cleaned. The vacuum motor may need to be blown out with compressed air to dislodge the blockage.
Environmental Options
Certain floor scrubbing models have environmentally friendly options. 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
Damage can occur to the solution dispensing system if stripping solutions are added to traditional floor scrubbers. 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.
