A3 Floor Cleaning Machines

A call came through to the service desk from a warehouse cleaning supervisor requesting a charger replacement for their Viper floor cleaning machine. The charger was making a loud noise when plugged in and the cleaning team were wary of using it. The warehouse was located in Letchworth , Hertfordshire . Letchworth Garden City, to give the place its full title, is notable for being one of the UK’s first cities to whose planning principles favoured the best elements of suburban and countryside architecture making it a very nice place to live and always a pleasure to visit. Replacement Viper Fang Charger The warehouse cleaning team were responsible for maintaining the floors and ensuring they were clean and free of trip or slip hazards, and they used a Viper Fang 24 battery-operated pedestrian scrubber drier to make the task manageable. According to the supervisor, the charger had been dropped by a member of staff resulting in damage to the unit and hence the loud noise it was now m...

Our office received a call from the manager of a large retail store to report that the water pump on their scrubber dryer kept cutting out. The retail store was in a Stockton-on-Tees retail park and with a healthy retail demand from the nearby towns needed their floor cleaning machine fully operational. Diagnosing the Water Pump Failure We sent one of our engineers to the retail store in Stockton-on-Tees to take a look at the problem and get the machine working at full capacity. As a popular store in the area it received high customer footfall resulting in the floors becoming soiled from shoe and trolley traffic. To maintain the store's standards and to ensure the floors remained clean and inviting to customers, the store used a Viper Fang 24T battery operated pedestrian scrubber drier . Without the water pump working reliably the soiled cleaning solution from the floor would be left on the floor and not deposited into the recovery tank as it should. Upon arrival, our enginee...

Details below of a scrubber dryer problem we resolved recently that was caused by a recovery tank blockage. The customer at a designer retail store had reported that their floor cleaning machine was not extracting any water during the cleaning operation resulting in dirty water being left of the floor. The store was located in Wellingborough , Northamptonshire , around 11 miles from Northampton itself. The local retail industry in Wellingborough is concentrated in the Swansgate shopping centre, though there are numerous retail parks and supermarkets outside the city. Tracing the Root Cause Our engineer hit the road and made his way to the designer store in Wellingborough, to assess the nature of the problem that the customer was experiencing with their floor cleaning machine. As a designer store, the floor space needed to be kept in impeccable condition, to match the high-end nature of the clothing being sold there. To keep the vibe feeling exclusive and sophisticated, the company ...

This was our second visit to The Factory Young People's Centre in Birmingham where we did a cleaning demonstration of the Nilfisk SC450 Scrubber Dryer. Although we try to spec the right machine before arriving at a customer’s premises you never know for sure until you try it on-site and, in this case, it was clear a larger machine was needed to do the job. Our aim is to ensure we specify exactly the right machine for the customer and this is why an on-site demonstration is so important.
