A3 Floor Cleaning Machines

Workplace canteens often have tough non-slip linoleum installed to prevent slips and trips, however abrasive surfaces such as these can be difficult to keep clean as dirt can easily become trapped making Canteen Floor Cleaning a tricky problem to crack. This was exactly the problem experiences by Teale Farm Machinery who invited us down to their manufacturing facility in Truro to demonstrate a machine that would successfully keep their Altro non-slip safety floor clean. Teagle Farm Machinery Teagle Farm Machinery was established in 1943 and named after its founder William Thomas Teagle (Tom) on the family farm close to Truro. He started off manufacturing horse drawn tip carts for local farmers. But as his flair for engineering developed, so did his range of farming machinery. The company has seen many other companies come and go during its 75-year history and today its range of Tomahawk livestock Feeder Bedders lead the market and form the cornerstone of a comprehensive range

Ensuring your machines are regularly serviced is the best way to reduce breakdowns and maximise productivity and it’s especially recommended for older machines that are in constant use such as this Wrangler Floor Scrubber . Factory Floor Cleaning at Rowan Foods From a single butcher shop in London in 1935, Rowan Foods has grown to become a major supplier in making and developing retailer label prepared foods for the top UK grocery retailers i.e. Salisbury's, Waitrose, Morrisons, Asda, Co-operative, Tesco, Subway, Greggs, and Aldi. Now part of the larger Oscar Mayer group since 2001 they have successfully managed to maintain a high reputation for food quality which comes from their carefully selected suppliers and high standards of staff training and cleanliness. To maintain a deep clean on their factory floors they use  Wrangler Floor Scrubber Dryers , in fact they have four, one at each of their sites in Wexham .  These machines are rugged yet maneuverable with large cleani

It’s always worth checking over your machine before requesting a call out as this can save you time and money. This was the case recently at a retail store in Grimsby , Lincolnshire where we were asked to attend in order to resolve a suction issue with their floor cleaning machine. Grimsby is a large port town on the North Sea coast known for its trade – a place where retailers can fit right in! Assessing the Cleaning Machine We sent one of our engineers on his way to the retail store in Grimsby, Lincolnshire to see what he could find out about the condition of the machine and if possible repair it on-site. The customer had reported to us that the machine, a Viper Fang 20HD Pedestrian Scrubber Drier was generating zero suction when being used. This meant that the daily clean to keep on top of dirt and scuffing could not take place as the machine would simply leave the dirty water on the floor and not extract it back into the recovery tank on the machine. Upon inspection of th

The head of cleaning for a major retail store in Bristol , South West England contacted us to report that they had a damaged Karcher BR40/25 scrubber dryer that needed repairing. As a major city in the UK, Bristol boasts a large amount of retail stores many of which are our clients, so we are often in the area. Assessing the Karcher Damage One of our engineers left our headquarters in Shropshire to make the journey down to the Retail Store in Bristol to assess the damage to the floor cleaning machine they used. The store had company standards to meet and part of this was keeping the floors looking immaculate for customers. However, this task was made all the harder after their machine, a Karcher BR40/25 Battery Powered Scrubber Dryer had become accidentally damaged falling down a set of stairs leading from the back of the storage area onto the concrete floor of the yard outside. Upon first sight of the machine, our engineer could tell that this was not going to be an easy task.

A large superstore was opening in Weston-Super-Mare , Somerset  and after discussing their floor cleaning requirements they ordered a refurbished Viper Fang 24 machine from us.  Additionally they had given us a call to arrange for one of our engineers to come down to the site and provide scrubber dryer training to the new cleaning team prior to the store opening.  The town is an original Victorian seaside resort that still proves popular with tourists today resulting in a healthy local economy that provides plenty of opportunity for retailers. Providing Scrubber Dryer Training When it comes to scrubber dryer training training you won't find anyone more familiar with these machines than our engineers who having serviced and repaired machines around the county have developed an intimate knowledge of not just how to operate the machines but how they are treated in the real world.   We therefore arranged for one our our engineers to travel down to he new superstore in Weston-Super-M

At A3 Machines we understand that many of our customers prefer to spread the cost of a floor cleaning machine, such as a Hako Scrubmaster, over the length of its use.

Ensuring that your business has the right tools to deliver the highest level of productivity.

This proved to be an attractive option for a pharmaceutical manufacturer in Bedford for who we were able to supply two machines at very competitive prices.     Dermal Pharmaceuticals Bedford Founded by a doctor in 1963, Dermal is one of the few truly independent UK pharmaceutical companies. For over 50 years Dermal has focused on researching and developing novel dermatological treatment

The maintenance manager of a large retail store in the old market town of Frome , contacted us recently to report that their floor cleaning machine was cutting out after a mere 10 minutes of operation. In our experience this issue is usually caused by a faulty scrubber dryer battery and so we arranged for one our engineers to travel down to Somerset and find out if that was indeed the root cause. Located at the eastern edge of the Mendip hills, Frome it a lovely town that dates back to Roman times and is very popular with tourists, this demand has helped to sustain a healthily retail industry. Scrubber Dryer Battery Testing We sent one of our engineers down to Somerset to examine the machine and determine if the problem was indeed related to a faulty scrubber dryer battery. After giving the floor cleaning machine a once over, he discovered that one of the batteries in the machine was faulty and was simply not holding a charge. The machine in question was a Viper Fang 24 Battery Po

The UK is currently going through a heatwave and many places in the UK haven’t seen any rain in over a month leading to suggestions of a hosepipe ban. It’s been so hot and dry in fact one our service engineers discovered the windscreen wipers on one of our service vehicles had become baked onto the windscreen. Is your Cleaning Machine Sitting Idle? It’s a fact that during spells of hot weather we notice calls to our engineers become less frequent and we equate this to the fact that cleaning machines get less use as floors appear to need less cleaning and machines sit idle as the temptation to sit outside in the sunshine increases. Although cleaning staff benefit from a more relaxing schedule and the chance to do other things than clean floors it’s likely that there are many floor cleaning machines out there have been sat around unused for weeks on end now and that’s not such a good thing. Ask yourself the following questions: Is the machine charged up and ready to go? Has it

A3 Machines received an enquiry recently from a company in Telford who specialise in selling and servicing high-performance cars  from makers such as Audi and BMW. Their customers are used to a premium service experience and so the company has high standards which includes showroom and workshop floor cleaning. Ideally, they needed a floor scrubber that could make light work of the job, especially in the workshop where it would need to deal with stubborn stains and other debris that comes with the movement and servicing of cars on a daily basis. Before carrying out a demonstration we felt the best approach would be to visit the site, speak to the staff and carry out a free no obligation survey. The workshop floor comprised of ceramic tiles in a beige colour which showed every little mark and scuff; we were also able to talk to the staff and ascertain that staining was a common issue and with engine oil, break fluids and rubber tyre marks to deal with, the cleaning team needed as much
