A3 Floor Cleaning Machines

Recently we received a call from a packing company requesting assistance with their scrubber dryer which had stopped dispersing detergent onto the floor being cleaned. Potential causes for this could be a solenoid failure, pump failure, electrical issue, blocked hose or filter however we wouldn’t know for sure until an engineer had paid them a visit. The packaging facility was located in Telford , Shropshire which conveniently is only 16 miles from our base of operations in Market Drayton. Telford is actually a relatively new town, comprised of smaller industrial settlements that merged in the 1960’s and 70’s. The town is named after Thomas Telford, who you may recall is a famous an engineer that developed numerous rail and road projects that linked places in the area together. Scrubber Dryer Fault Finding With his service vehicle stocked with spare parts we sent one of our engineers to the company headquarters in Telford, to troubleshoot the machine and get it fully operational ...

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 ...

A3 Machines recently received a call from a distribution warehouse in Telford who distribute refrigerated food for a well-known supermarket. Besides needing to keep the floor of the distribution center clean, they also had an issue with "puddles" of water forming in the pedestrian walkways caused by condensation from the cooling fans dripping down the metal roof supports onto the floor. Understanding the Floor Cleaning Requirements Many of these areas where the problem was occurring were in less accessible parts of the warehouse which were difficult to get close to using their current floor cleaning machine. This was health and safety concern for the company who for many years they had been using a rather dated scrubber dryer in the main area of the warehouse and relying on a mop and bucket to mop up the puddles. Ideally, they wanted a machine that would handle both tasks and a combination of events prompted the company to act. First their current machine was quite old ...

The store was located in Telford , Shropshire – just a few miles away from our base of operations.

However, as the problem was so noticeable, it was easy for the en...
