A3 Floor Cleaning Machines

It was with great pleasure that we recently attended the John Beddoes Campus of Newtown High School in Wales to demonstrate a Taski Ergodisc 17” floor polisher. We were there at the request of the school who were looking for a new machine to replace their Taski Ranger 15” floor polisher which had given them 20-years of service. In fact, the old machine had been used on a daily basis during term times to polish the non-slip assembly hall vinyl floor; I don’t think anyone could complain at that and what a testament to reliability of Taski machinery. Newtown High School, Presteigne Newtown High School has a history going back to 1565 when it was founded by John Beddoes, a wealthy wool manufacturer. He provided for the establishment of a “free grammar school to bring up the youth .... in virtue, discipline and learning“, and this remains as the ethos of the school today. The school was to be maintained from the rents of local properties and this legacy continued until April ...

The caretaker of a small primary school contacted our offices to arrange for an engineer to come and take a look at their overheating scrubber dryer which was cutting out during use.  The school itself was well within Merseyside , in the metropolitan area of St. Helen’s , where the 52 primary schools there consistently perform above the national average in terms of examination results.  We find scrubber dryers are fast becoming a popular choice for school floor cleaning where there is a requirement to do a thorough cleaning job across a large area with limited resources. Inspecting the Overheating Scrubber Dryer The call-out for our engineer involved him travelling north of our home base in Shropshire to the primary school in St. Helen’s, Merseyside, to inspect the overheating scrubber dryer that had been troubling the caretaker there in recent weeks.  The floors of the school would see the obvious build up of dirt and scuffing from the children in attendance and ...

The head caretaker at a high school in East London contacted us to report that their Viper Fang 20HD scrubber dryer has a water leak. The school was situated in the town of Barking , in the East London borough of Barking and Dagenham which is roughly a three hour trip from our base in Shropshire. We actually provide services to a larger number schools and colleges throughout the country so travelling down to East London is not an unusual request for our service engineers. Finding the Water Leak Source When our engineer arrived on the scene he began his inspection of the floor cleaning machine in order to trace the source of the water leak. The school had opted for a Viper Fang 20HD battery-operated walk behind scrubber drier to keep their larger areas of floor space clean in the face of the soiling from all the students, especially at this time of year when the weather is particularly wet and muddy.  When inspecting the scrubber dryer, our engineer found that the skirting wh...
