A3 Floor Cleaning Machines

We received an email enquiry from a large public house in Nantwich , Cheshire asking for information on a scrubber dryer that would be suitable for restaurant and pub floor cleaning . They had previously bought a Victor Europa floor polisher from ourselves and were now looking to purchase another cleaning machine to deep clean their other floors. The managers were keen to have a demo of various scrubber dryers on offer, so we arranged a date to head over the following week and demonstrate a couple of machines that matched their requirements. Pub Floor Cleaning Machine Demo I’m sure you can imagine pub floors can get in a terrible state with the inevitable and constant spilling of drinks etc. Manual cleaning methods simply can’t deal with this problem efficiently so acquiring a modern scrubber dryer makes complete sense when it comes to pub floor cleaning. We took with us two scrubber dryers from Viper Cleaning, a Viper AS380C and the larger Viper AS5160 . Both machines are very...

Our service team received a call from a retailer in Bradford about a Viper AS5160 repair . It seems their scrubber dryer was not picking up dirty water from the floor effectively. If your familiar with scrubber dryers, you will realise that this is a major issue as it’s not practical for someone to follow up with a mop. The store was located in a Bradford retail park which was very popular with shoppers and at this time of the year with snow and rainwater to deal with they needed a Viper AS5160 Repair as soon as possible. The A3 Machines team fully understand the importance of keeping retail floors clean, not only does it provide a welcome atmosphere for customers but also that they meet the high levels of hygiene standards set by head office.

A customer called us recently complaining that their floor cleaning machine was scratching the floor at their store and requested a visit from an engineer to have the problem resolved as soon as possible. The retail store was over in Norwich , Norfolk, a city which, due to its rich history, sees a lot of tourism, meaning retailers and small businesses tend to flourish here. Following what was an incredibly dry July, the heat had now been broken by heavy August rainfall which combined with the constant flow of customers coming into the store meant the cleaning team were busy keeping the floors clean. Afraid their Viper AS5160 scrubber dryer would continue scratching the floor it had been kept out of use, hence he urgency.

After spending some time checking over the machine the culprit was soon identified as an incorrectly...

If you are looking for a Viper AS5160 manual then scroll further down this page where you will find a link; when your servicing and repairing a large variety of cleaning machines around the country you need access to numerous manuals and so we are building an on-line library. This came in handy recently when a retail store in Northwich contacted us to report that their scrubber dryer that was not recovering dirty water during cleans and wanted an Engineer to take a look as soon as possible. We were able to route an engineer who was coming back from a call in Warrington to the store and take a look, unfortunately however he did not have the Viper AS5160 manual with him, but he was able to access it via his iPad. Traditionally a market town, Northwich now has a population approaching 20,000 and so there is plenty of retail demand for smaller and larger retail stores who experience steady custom throughout the year. Viper AS5160 Service Call One of our engineers called into the...

A3 Machines were recently contacted by Home Savers in Limerick , Southern Ireland.  This is a new Irish Supermarket company who are looking to expand their business in Ireland over the next few years. It is hoped that they will open a further 49 stores within the next three years. The stores will sell an array of goods at a discounted rate, from chocolate bars, to cleaning products, electrical goods, furniture, luggage, the list is endless. Demonstrating Floor Cleaning Machines in Ireland In preparation of the opening of their flagship store, they were keen to ensure that they had the right floor cleaning equipment to maintain the floors in the store and to ensure the floor was clean before opening its doors to the public. Having ascertained the size of the store etc were able to recommend two machines and we sent our MD, Charles Lowe across the water to meet the store manager and to demonstrate the machines. The machines demonstrated were a Viper AS5160 Battery Operated Scrub...

It’s not uncommon for untrained users of the Viper AS5160 to have problems with the charger connection and recently we were asked to visit a supermarket in Kirkby , Merseyside where this had happened. On this occasion, the customer reported that their floor cleaning machine was not charging, despite the battery having been left on charge overnight. Our engineers are always on the move and with quite a few customers in the Liverpool area we were able to send an engineer round quite quickly to investigate. Investigating Viper AS5160 Charger Issue The supermarket urgently needed the machine up and running again, as cleaning the floors is a top priority in the premises to keep everything clean, presentable and hygienic for shoppers. The machine with which the staff were experiencing the problem was a Viper AS5160 walk behind scrubber dryer which is usually a very reliable bit of kit however with machines like these in constant use you can expect some wear and tear.  Upon arriva...

Earlier this month, we provided a school in Ellesmere , Shropshire with a demonstration of a Viper Fang 24T floor cleaning machine which you can read about on  http://sales.a3machines.info . Impressed with how easy the machine was to use and how effective it was at cleaning the floors they went ahead and purchased the machine. I’m pleased to report that since then the head of maintenance at the school has been back in touch to arrange for the long-term hire of two more floor cleaning machines. Cleaning Machine Hire As we reported previously, the school has been refurbished in recent years and thanks to its academy status, was furnished with the funding for a whole new block for the sciences. However, all this expansion meant cleaning with just one machine wasn’t practical and two more machines would be needed if they were to experience the same cleaning efficiencies enjoyed in one part of the school across the rest of the academy. Fact is modern cleaning machines make the job...

We received a call from a customer representing the cleaning staff at a superstore, regarding issues they were having with their Viper AS5160 floor cleaning machine. According to the customer, the fuse in the charger would occasionally blow during usage. The superstore was situated in Buxton , Derbyshire , in the heart of the peak district, attracting a decent number of tourists, bringing with them their custom in the local retail outlets, such as the Springs Shopping Centre . Fault Finding on a Viper AS5160 The cleaning staff in the superstore had to ensure that the floors were kept clean and kept free of any potential trip hazards to customers, so to make this task manageable, they used a Viper AS5160 Battery Operated Scrubber Dryer . The staff had reported that the fuse kept blowing out when the machine was being charged and it was, as far as they were concerned, a mystery as to why this was happening. Therefore, they decided to call us, and we were only too happy to send an engi...

Recently we received a service call from a retailer in North Wales about their Viper AS5160 floor cleaning machine . We were informed by the customer that their machine was leaking dirty water back onto the floor whenever they attempted to use it, which as you can imagine is far from ideal.  The store was located in Ruthin at the southern end of the Vale of Clwyd, which is an exceptionally beautiful part of Denbighshire . The town itself is split into an old and new town and is noted for rich history which dates back to pre-roman Celtic settlers. The town has a variety of monuments and structures including a castle which dates back to 1277 and attracts many tourists to the area, which of course means the local retail industry thrives too. Fault Finding on the Viper AS5160 Our engineer hit the road and made his way North West to the to the town of Ruthin, in order to repair the floor cleaning machine and get it operational again.   The retailer relied on the Viper A...

We were recently contacted by an existing customer of ours in  Stoke-on-Trent  who are a well known manufacturer of high end pottery tableware in Stoke-on-Trent. They were looking for a floor cleaning machine for their three storey high Victorian building which was the base for their manufacturing business. Also known as the Potteries, Stoke-on-Trent has a long heritage in the pottery industry with many famous brands based there. Choosing the Right Floor Cleaning Machine In order to recommend the right machine we made an initial site visit to assess the condition and material of the floors. Stoke-on-Trent isn’t too far from our base in Shropshire but its worth noting we are happy to make the effort to travel anywhere in England and Wales to carry out a demonstration. We found all three floors to be concrete and painted with red floor paint and the overall square meterage of the floors was 1,115m2 (approx 12,000 sq feet). Due to the nature of the business, the floors soo...
