A3 Floor Cleaning Machines

The service team recently responded to a customer who reported that their floor cleaning machine had a damaged waste pipe. The machine was a Viper Fang 24T scrubber dryer which is a solid machine that’s difficult to damage in this way however the issue does render the machine unusable as waste water will be left on the floor. The superstore was located in Cambridge , Cambridgeshire famous for its university, which was founded in 1209 and ranks amongst the top five in the world.

A call came in from a customer at a retail store who was concerned about the performance of their floor cleaning machine, in particular the apparent loss of suction. According to the customer, the machine was failing to pick up dirty water from the floor. The retail store was in a highly populated area of North London and was in constant use cleaning the floors of the store so a remedy was needed as soon as possible. Finding the Loss of Suction One of the advantages of the scrubber dryers we sell is the cleaning solution is deployed, scrubbed into the floor and then extracted from the floor using suction in one smooth action which makes light work of cleaning any floor. Suction is generally provided by a separate vacuum motor however air leaking into the pipe work or through worn seals can reduce pressure leading to a loss of suction.  With these factors in mind our engineers packed his service vehicle with the relevant spares and made the trip to North London to get to the b...

We were contacted by the head of the cleaning services department at a retail store in the market town of Wellingborough , Northamptonshire, an area with a long industrial heritage that dates back to the Iron Age. The town is located around 11 miles from Northampton itself and an A3 engineer was sent to the retail store to assess and repair a broken Viper Fang machine used in the routine floor cleaning within the store.

As a fully battery powered machine, the Viper Fang 24 eliminates the risks inherent when using wired machines, such as trip hazard instead making it easy to clean between aisles and stands used in retail stores.
