A3 Floor Cleaning Machines

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....

Sometimes, no matter how good a machine is, if the area it is expected to clean is too large, then it’s going to become exhausted and suffer a break down.  This was the case at a company in Nottinghamshire who manufacture sauces, dressings, mayonnaise and garlic butter.   To keep the floors of the factory clean they had been using a Numatic battery operated scrubber dryer which with a capacity of only 60 litres was in constant use resulting in breakdowns from over use.  We had attended the factory several times to carry out repairs to the machine and on each occasion our engineer advised them that the problem was that the machine was simply too small to carry out such a large task. The food industry has the tightest of cleaning regimes as any issue with a food product can reflect badly on the company very quickly resulting in a real impact on reputation and sales.  It's quite important therefore that a high standard is maintained and so after the most re...

November through to January is probably the busiest month for the A3 Service and Repair team as floor cleaning machines are put through their paces dealing with the weather and increased footfall at retailers.
