Long Term Hire of Viper Cleaning Machines in Newcastle

Image
Earlier this year we were contacted by company in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne about the hire of a viper floor cleaning machine . They had already purchased a Viper cleaning machine from us two years ago and impressed with its efficiency now wanted to expand their cleaning machine fleet.  The company specialise in the manufacturer of car brake linings and required a machine for cleaning the floor in their factory. With a large area to keep clean and a manufacturing process that has the potential to generate a lot of debris mechanical assistance was needed. Working During the COVID-19 Outbreak After discussing their requirements over the phone, we organised a demonstration of a couple of machines at their premises in Newcastle. This was much easier to do before the COVID-19 outbreak, these days we need to take more precautions including the use of sanitiser spray, wearing single use PPE, and working outside where possible. We even thoroughly wipe down all machinery prior to handover.  The

School Floor Cleaning with a Comac Visper 35b in Preston

Image
A3 Machines have a long history of servicing the needs of schools and colleges around the country and recently a school in the Lancashire town of Preston asked our sales team to visit and recommend a new machine. School floors experience a lot of foot traffic during term time and to keep them in a clean state you need a machined that can negotiate corridors and perform an effective scrub of hard surfaces and carpet tiles. The school was an existing customer, we had sold to them in the past and were currently servicing those machines. Even so, we recommended popping down to the school so we could carry out a fresh site survey, understand any issues they were experiencing and demonstrate a new machine. School Floor Cleaning Demonstration in Preston Having spoken to the school at length over the phone and having worked in this sector we already had a good idea of the problems the school face when cleaning floors; so before paying them a visit we thought it would be prudent to br

Acrylic Tennis Court Cleaning at Essex Sports Centre

Image
Recently our sales team paid a visit to a large sports centre in Southend on Sea to demonstrate a machine for Acrylic Tennis Court Cleaning . The centre had several internal courts which were being cleaned with a pedestrian scrubber dryer. With the overall size of a Tennis Court being approximately 300m2 each the cleaning team were getting a lot of exercise running it around the court. Acrylic Tennis Court Cleaning with a Fimap Mxr The floors had an acrylic covering on them and were quite heavily stained in some areas and their old machine was now struggling to make a difference. The club were now looking for a new cleaning machine, so after weighing in the needs of the sports centre, we recommended a battery powered Fimap Mxr scrubber dryer. We took the machine down to Southend and set it up along the edge of one of the tennis courts. The battery had already been charged up overnight so after filling the solution tank with detergent we began the demonstration. The d

Reducing the Cost of Tennis Court Cleaning at London Club

Image
A tennis club in Central London were in touch recently about cleaning their external tennis courts. It turns out they had been cleaning the courts with a jet washer which was leading to the consumption of a huge volume of water. They estimated the consumption to be 2,000 litres of water per court and when you consider they have 12 tennis courts it’s easy to calculate this was costing the club a lot of money. Scrubber Dryers – The Jet Washing Alternative If you follow our blog, you will be aware that we have previously recommended the use of scrubber dryers for Tennis Court Cleaning, they consume very little water and are quicker in comparison to jet washing and provide a deep clean to any hard floor surface. Our sales team felt a scrubber dryer would be the perfect solution for the club in London and a visit was organised to demonstrate two machines that would meet their requirements and budget. The machines demonstrated at the club were a reconditioned Taski Swingo 1255B wa

M20 Service Station Floor Cleaning Machine Demonstration

Image
Recently the Soft Services manager responsible for the Service Station Cleaning at a facility on the M20 motorway got in touch with us looking for a machine to clean their large public floor areas. The service station just outside of Folkstone is a modern 24-hour service station and HGV Truck Stop that services the nearby port and Eurotunnel. It’s extremely busy and the manager was tasked with keeping the environment clean not just for truck drivers but also for families. The facility includes the usual mix of washrooms, shops and self-service restaurants. They needed a floor cleaning machine that could deal efficiently and effectively with the marks and dirt left by the constant and heavy traffic of people traversing the floors in the main area and passageways. After some consultation we scheduled a date to take a brand-new Viper AS710R Ride on scrubber dryer down to the service station in Kent to demonstrate its capabilities.

Repairing a Cleanfix RA 431 Scrubber Dryer at Shropshire Secondary School

Image
A Shropshire Secondary School called us in recently to repair a Cleanfix RA 431 Scrubber Dryer which had developed a fault. We quickly booked one of our cleaning machine engineers to attend the school the next day and make a repair. Scrubber dryers are ideal for cleaning school flooring, they are effective and always provide a much more intensive and quicker clean than a janitor’s mop and bucket. Assessing a Faulty Cleanfix RA 431 Scrubber Dryer Our engineer made the journey to the relatively short journey to the school in Shropshire to inspect the machine; I say relatively short as our engineers cover the whole country and so it makes a nice change to stay within our home county. After running some tests on the scrubber dryer, it was clear there were some serious problems with the machine including the machine’s brush which had stopped spinning. He decided that the machine would benefit from a full strip down and test to get to the bottom of the faults. As a result, our
