Acrylic Tennis Court Cleaning at Southend on Sea Sports Centre

Thu, 01 Aug 2019 12:28:34 +0100

Recently our sales team paid a visit to a large sports centre in Southend on Sea to demonstrate a machine for Acrylic Tennis Court Cleaning. The centre had several internal courts which were being cleaned with a pedestrian scrubber dryer. With the overall size of a Tennis Court being approximately 300m2 each the cleaning team were getting a lot of exercise running it around the court.

Acrylic Tennis Court Cleaning with a Fimap Mxr

The floors had an acrylic covering on them and were quite heavily stained in some areas and their old machine was now struggling to make a difference. The club were now looking for a new cleaning machine, so after weighing in the needs of the sports centre, we recommended a battery powered Fimap Mxr scrubber dryer.

We took the machine down to Southend in Essex and set it up along the edge of one of the tennis courts. The battery had already been charged up overnight so after filling the solution tank with detergent we began the demonstration.

The demo went well, and they were especially impressed with the machine being a ride on scrubber dryer and couldn’t believe the difference in time and efficiency a ride on machine made. It was also clear how versatile the machine was and with the simple change of the floor cleaning pad it could be used to clean other surfaces at the sports centre such as tiling.

Fimap Mxr Ride on Scrubber Dryer

The Fimap Mxr scrubs and dries in the same areas where a walk-behind scrubbing machine would normally be used, but it’s faster and more comfortable. The operator remains comfortably seated and can easily move in limited spaces, quickly passing from one area to another – even in a lift – in total safety and without having to get off the machine.

It has the capacity to work at double the speed of a walk-behind scrubbing machine and its compact size means it can be easily be transported so you can take it wherever its needed.

Swimming Pool Tile Cleaning with the Fimap Mxr Scrubber Dryer

Other features include:

it requires little maintenance
it is built with top quality materials
it uses waste-reducing technologies
it scrubs more square metres in the same time
it can be used anywhere, at any time
it is comfortable, safe and user-friendly

The Main Specifications of the Fimap Mxr are:

Machine Weight	110 kg
Turning Circle	1540mm
Solution / Recovery Tank	70 litres / 70 litres
Max Working Capacity	3,000 m2 per hour
Dimensions ( l x h x w )	1265 x 1030 x 600 mm
Squeegee width	703 – 799 mm
Brush Motor	450 watts
Brush Pressure	23 kg
Forward Speed	5.5 km/hr
Working Width	560 mm

Acrylic Tennis Court Cleaning Machine

After discussing the finance options with the sports centre team which included long term hire and lease, they decided to the purchase the machine outright. All our machines are provided with twelve months warranty and an up-to-date PAT test.

Reducing the Cost of Tennis Court Cleaning at London Club

Tue, 25 Jun 2019 15:09:10 +0100

A tennis club in Central London were in touch recently about external tennis court cleaning. It turns out they had been cleaning the courts with a jet washer which was leading to the consumption of a huge volume of water. They estimated the consumption to be 2,000 litres of water per court and when you consider they have 12 tennis courts it’s easy to calculate this was costing the club a lot of money.

Scrubber Dryers – The Jet Washing Alternative

If you follow our blog, you will be aware that we have previously recommended the use of scrubber dryers for Tennis Court Cleaning, they consume very little water and are quicker in comparison to jet washing and provide a deep clean to any hard floor surface.

Our sales team felt a scrubber dryer would be the perfect solution for the club in London and a visit was organised to demonstrate two machines that would meet their requirements and budget.

The machines demonstrated at the club were a reconditioned Taski Swingo 1255B walk behind battery operated scrubber dryer for cleaning the outdoor tennis courts and a new Viper AS430C Mains powered scrubber dryer for cleaning the more confined areas.

The machines certainly lived up to our expectations and the demonstration of the Taski Swingo 1255B on the green border of the Tennis Court resulted in quite a transformation making the green so much brighter. Needless to say, the demonstration of both machines went very well impressing the tennis club and I’m pleased to say had resulted in long term hire on both machines.

Taski Swingo 1255B Pedestrian Scrubber Dryer

The Taski Swingo 1255B is a walk-behind 22-inch (55 cm) auto scrubber, battery powered and sized for performance it features a 60-litre tank volume which increases productivity and reduces time-consuming tank filling stops during the cleaning operation. The dual-axle system ensures easy handling and allows comfortable use of the machine.

The machine’s patented brush design follows the floor profile and delivers nearly even pressure allocation along the full working width. Two brushes are offset to the side, allowing superior cleaning along walls and under racks. This results in excellent soil removal and floor appearance. The patented V-shaped squeegee allows excellent water pick-up on all floor types, even on structured and grouted/tiled floors. Special squeegee blades and a direct suction line allow pick-up of small debris (e.g., cigarette butts) without clogging. Due to the proven three-wheel concept, adjustments of the squeegee are no longer necessary.

Viper AS430C Mains Scrubber Dryer

The AS430C is an easy to use medium-sized walk-behind scrubber dryer and the perfect solution for scrubbing and drying in mid-sized and heavy-traffic areas. The machine is suitable for daily indoor cleaning in middle sized areas of hotels, restaurants, schools, retail outlets, as well as hospitals and train stations.

The solution and recovery tank is integrated into one moulded part which creates higher tank capacity and therefore a longer cleaning operations with one fill. This saves you time! The machine is easy to use with reduced pushing force and ergonomic start/stop switch gives the user a better handling of the product and requires less force during cleaning.

M20 Service Station Cleaning Machine Demonstration

Thu, 13 Jun 2019 15:44:46 +0100

Recently the Soft Services manager responsible for Service Station Cleaning at a facility on the M20 motorway got in touch looking for a machine to clean their large public floor areas. The service station just outside of Folkstone is a modern 24-hour service station and HGV Truck Stop that services the nearby port and Eurotunnel. It’s extremely busy and the manager was tasked with keeping the environment clean not just for truck drivers but also for families. The facility includes the usual mix of washrooms, shops and self-service restaurants.

They needed a floor cleaning machine that could deal efficiently and effectively with the marks and dirt left by the constant and heavy traffic of people traversing the floors in the main area and passageways. After some consultation we scheduled a date to take a brand-new Viper AS710R Ride on scrubber dryer down to the service station in Kent to demonstrate its capabilities.

Service Station Cleaning Machine

After arriving at the Service Station and making contact with the manager we set the machine up in the main restaurant area which receives a lot of foot fall and has to come with food and drink staining. Naturally the service station is open 24 x 7 so we sectioned off an small area where we could demonstrate the machine. From the customers point of view, it must have looked like we were simply cleaning the floor.

M20 Service Station Cleaning

Given the circumstances we started by applying a dilution of detergent to the floor and then ran the machine over a section of it to demonstrate the power of the Viper AS710R suction and vacuum which leaves the floor dry. Next the machine was run over the floor with scrubbing and vacuum extraction enabled to demonstrate the full cleaning power of the machine. Naturally we could only do this on a small section of the floor, but you can clearly see a clean line running through the demonstration area.

Floor Cleaning Demonstration with a Viper AS710R

The manager was impressed with the machine, he could see the benefits especially its ease of operation and how quickly it had managed to clean the floor. As a result, it was agreed they would take the machine and so we moved onto discussing the financial options which concluded in a long-term hire agreement.

Viper AS710R Scrubber Dryer Hire

The large capacity and performance of the Viper AS710R makes it ideal for the daily cleaning all kinds off large indoor floor surfaces including tiling, vinyl, sealed wood, marble and concrete etc. It’s compact, robust and simple to operate with an intuitive dashboard and user-friendly menus that keeps the training requirement to a minimum.

Faulty Cleanfix RA 431 Scrubber Dryer Repair at Shropshire Secondary School

Fri, 07 Jun 2019 15:39:52 +0100

A Shropshire secondary school called us in recently to repair a Cleanfix RA 431 Scrubber Dryer which had developed a fault. We quickly booked one of our cleaning machine engineers to attend the school the next day and make a repair. Scrubber dryers are ideal for cleaning school flooring, they are effective and always provide a much more intensive and quicker clean than a janitor’s mop and bucket.

Assessing a Faulty Cleanfix RA 431 Scrubber Dryer

Our engineer made the journey to the relatively short journey to the school in Shropshire to inspect the machine; I say relatively short as our engineers cover the whole country and so it makes a nice change to stay within our home county.

After running some tests on the scrubber dryer, it was clear there were some serious problems with the machine including the machine’s brush which had stopped spinning. He decided that the machine would benefit from a full strip down and test to get to the bottom of the faults. As a result, our engineer felt it would be best if he took the machine back to the workshop for further assessment and repair.

Cleanfix RA 431 Scrubber Dryer UK Service and Repair

Repairing a Faulty Cleanfix RA 431 Scrubber Dryer

Back at the workshop the Cleanfix RA 431 was stripped down and put under test. It became clear that the machine had a burnt-out vacuum motor and a perished drive belt. Drive belts do stretch overtime, so part of our annual maintenance check involves checking and adjusting the tension and naturally replacing if over worn. It was clear that this machine had not been maintained very well which to be honest is not unusual in the cleaning industry.

Like any machine with moving parts in constant use it pays to have it professionally serviced on an annual basis otherwise wear and tear will result in a serious problem at some point. Fortunately, we do keep parts for the Cleanfix range of cleaning machines and so we were able to replace the vacuum motor and drive belt. The machine was then given a service, cleaned and then tested (including PAT test) to ensure it was operating perfectly.

Happy the machine was now in fully operational order it was returned to the school the very next day. If your based in the UK and have a Cleanfix machine, then you should be aware that A3 machines service and repair Cleanfix and most other manufacturers cleaning machines. For more information please call us on 01630 661 596 or email info@a3machines.co.uk

Cleanfix RA 431 Scrubber Dryer

Swiss made, the Cleanfix RA 431 is a very tough scrubbing machine designed for middle-sized floor space and therefore ideal for school classrooms and corridors. The machine uses high pressure to deliver optimum cleaning results and features large wheels that allows it to manoeuvre easily around obstacles. The machine is very easy to operate, vibration free and the built-in drive pulls the machine making it effortless to use.

Specifications Include:

Pub Floor Cleaning Demonstration in Nantwich

Fri, 12 Apr 2019 16:47:45 +0100

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.

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 straight forward to operate and the larger AS5160 is battery powered.

	Viper AS380C Battery Scrubber Dryer	Viper AS5160 Scrubber Dryer
Specification	Viper AS380C	Viper AS5160
Brush speed	140 rpm	150 rpm
Solution/Recovery Tank Capacity	15 / 15 litres	61/61 litres
Weight (kg)	40kg	214.8kg
Sound pressure level	72 dB(A)	69 dB(A)
Dimensions (L x W x H)	780x415x590mm	1370x600x1220 mm
Brush/pad diameter	380mm	510mm

After demonstrating both machines on site it was clear that the pub required a machine that would fit into narrow spaces in their restaurant and bar area. As a result the smaller Viper AS380C was a clear favourite. When it comes to pub floor cleaning it matched all their criteria and is significantly cheaper.

They purchased the machine outright along with additional brushes and Nu-Kleen Detergent which we supply with most of our machines. Nu-Kleen Floor cleaner is a low-suds biotechnology-based cleaner and super-degreaser designed for scrubber driers and idea for restaurant and pub floor cleaning. The machine comes with 12 months warranty, parts and labour and a new PAT test which gives piece of mind when buying for retailers or public buildings.

Viper Fang 24T Cleaning Machine Repaired at Primary School in Fishguard

Fri, 29 Mar 2019 19:26:01 +0000

One of our cleaning machine engineers attended a Primary School in Fishguard last week that had a fault with their Viper Fang 24T scrubber dryer. The school reported that the machine had stared smelling and leaking black streaks behind when in use. The school rely on this machine to provide a clean environment for the children who as you can image can cause quite a mess at times.

Fishguard is a coastal town on the Welsh Pembrokeshire coast which is quite a remote yet beautiful area. A3 Machines clients stretch right across the country so its not unusual to find our engineers putting in some miles to resolve a machine issue. This is why we always take time to train our customers in the operation and maintenance of their machines when we are on-site, it also helps minimise downtime for the customers.

Repairing a Viper Fang 24T Scrubber Dryer in Pembrokeshire

It’s a good four-hour drive to Fishguard from our service centre in Market Drayton so we dispatched an engineer the following day loaded with spare Viper parts and a replacement floor cleaning machine should the problem prove difficult to repair on site.

Once on site the machine was put through a series of tests and inspections to determine the root cause of the leak and source of the unpopular odour. It turns out that there was a blocked filter in the recovery tank leading to soil and stagnant water being trapped in the machine. This explained the smell and would also explain why water was being left on the floor. This is quite a regular problem with scrubber dryers in general and is easily avoided by ensuring the filters are regularly checked.

The black streaks were traced to the squeegee which trails along the floor at the back of the machine and is used to capture water from the floor into the recovery tank. The rubber was split and needed to be replaced; after replacing the rubber squeegee it’s important to test the machine and adjust the squeegee to ensure its level on the floor and is evenly collecting the water correctly.

Once the blockage had been cleared and the Squeegee replaced our engineer spent time ensuring the cleaning machine was in good working order and that the operator knew how to carry out the regular checks. At this point it also became apparent that the wrong cleaning detergent was being used in the machine. It’s important that you use the recommended product as some cleaning solutions can reduce the life of the rubbers used within the machine. It worth noting A3 Machines sell a full range of cleaning detergents and other consumables such as pads at competitive prices for all the machines we service and sell so if in doubt do get in touch.

Viper Fang 24T Pedestrian Scrubber Dryer

Viper Fang 24T Battery Powered Floor Cleaning machine

The Viper Fang 24T scrubber-dryer is a robust floor cleaning machine. Measuring 141 x 66 x 100cm, it is housed in moulded plastic, but its size means that it is durable whilst also being manoeuvrable. It is protected by front and rear collision protection and an impact-proof cover. It works in virtue of two tanks, one of which releases clean water and chemicals. The brushes then scrub the floor and the dirty water is sucked up as the machine moves over it, depositing the dirty water in the second tank. This makes it very simple to dispose of the dirty water, and the 66-litre tank means the user can spend less time emptying and more time cleaning.

Variable pad pressure makes it possible to adjust to your cleaning needs. For more dirty areas just add more pad pressure. The large detergent and recovery tanks combined with the high capacity batteries makes it possible to clean for a long time. You will find it ideally suitable for scrubbing and drying in tough and dirty environments such as building contractors and industrial environments.

The customer was satisfied with the work carried out and our engineer was able to sign off on the job knowing he had left the customer with a fully-functional floor cleaning machine that was unlikely to cause any further problems.

Carpet Cleaning at Stoke-on-Trent Doctors Surgery

Fri, 22 Mar 2019 14:16:15 +0000

We were recently contacted by the practice manager or a Doctor’s Surgery in Stoke on Trent who wanted to get a quote for hiring or purchasing outright a suitable carpet cleaner. There’s only so much you can achieve with a vacuum and hiring a carpet cleaning company on a regular basis isn’t an efficient use of funds, so they were keen to explore other more effective options.

Being a doctor’s surgery hygiene was an important factor, as was the ability to respond and clean up quickly after any unplanned events. Another factor that prompted the surgery to get in touch was the increasingly awful weather we have been experiencing which results in dirt becoming trodden into the flooring in the reception area and waiting room carpets.

Prochem Galaxy Carpet Cleaner

After reviewing the requirements and asking questions about the general environment and flooring we recommended the Prochem Galaxy Carpet Cleaner. The Galaxy is perfect for in-house cleaning as well as car valeting, spotting and small area commercial cleaning.

Prochem Galaxy Carpet and Floor Cleaning machine

The machine has a compact design that utilities durable hi-tech materials that keep it light and easy to maneuver. The Galaxy packs a powerful punch due to its 2-stage vacuum and 100psi pump which enables it to deliver the same cleaning performance as much larger machines. The Prochem Galaxy has a great reputation in Carpet Cleaning and is also a popular choice for the cleaning of hard floors, rugs and upholstery at residential and institutional locations.

Specifications of the machine include:

Solution tank: 18 litres
Recovery tank: 12 litres
Solution pressure: 6.8 bar (100 psi)
Vacuum motor: 1 x 2 stage by-pass
Water lift / airflow: 2794 mm (110″) / 52.8 l/s (112 cfm)
Hose assembly: 4.6 m (15 ft)
Carpet wand: 25 cm (10″) single jet
Tank construction: Polyethylene with aluminium baseplate
Power cable: 7.6 meters (25 ft)
Weight: 22 kilos
Dimensions: 70 x 64 x 40 cm (h x l x w)

Doctors Surgery Carpet Cleaning Demonstration

We attended the surgery in Stoke-on-Trent several days later to demonstrate the machine and to verify it matched their requirements. I’m pleased to say they were delighted with the machine and after considering the hire/purchase options decided to purchase the machine outright. It worth noting that all our machines come PAT tested and new machines are backed by our full 12-month parts & labour warranty.

We were contacted a few weeks later by the surgery with feedback of the machine. They were very pleased with the results and the public had even commented that the surgery looked a lot more presentable.

Another happy customer…

Cinema Cleaning with a Taski Scrubber Dryer for Odeon Cinemas

Mon, 25 Feb 2019 10:09:26 +0000

We had to put our thinking caps on recently when Odeon approached us about purchasing a Cinema Cleaning machine. As you know, cinemas (or movie theaters as the American’s like to call them) have a very high footfall with 1,000’s of people stepping through their doors every month. This can produce a lot of dirt and grime, which needs to be cleaned daily to keep up the appearance of the cinema.

Their main concern was the large concourse at the front of the cinema where people gather, purchase tickets and buy food and drink etc. Our job was to recommend a reliable hard floor cleaning machine that could clean large floor quickly, safely and effectively. They wanted to purchase the machine outright and were working within a budget.

Odeon Cinemas

Founded back in 1930, ODEON is the largest and best-known cinema chain in the UK and Ireland. Their flagship ODEON Luxe cinema in London’s Leicester Square is globally famous for hosting over 700 of Europe’s biggest film premieres and now features the ultimate in Dolby image and sound technology.

Today Odeon are owned by AMC Theatres, the largest movie exhibition company in the world. They are “Fanatical About Film” and constantly strive to innovate and improve the whole cinema experience in order to give every guest a great experience every time they visit.

Presenting a clean and inviting environment for their customers is part of the key to their success. However, when your selling over 2,000 tonnes of popcorn and nearly 50 mega-litres of drinks at their cinemas every year effective cinema cleaning can present a huge problem.

Cinema Cleaning with a TASKI Combimat 1600

TASKI Combimat 1600 Scrubber Dryer

To meet their requirements and budget we recommended a TASKI Combimat 1600 battery powered Scrubber Dryer. This machine is perfect for cleaning hard floors in large areas and small enough to fit into corridors.

The TASKI Combimat is a robust machine that features a sideways off-set brush that is ideal for cinema cleaning. The off-set brush can perform edge-close cleaning along walls and under over hanging furniture such as chiller cabinets and counters. The capacity of the machine’s battery, cleaning solution and recovery tanks are also more than enough to clean the concourse and surrounding areas in one go.

Other specifications include:

Working Width: 70cm
Squeegee Width: 99cm
Solution Tank: 85 Litres
Recovery Tank: 85 Litres
Battery Voltage: 24v
Weight: 480kg
Dimensions: 1560 x 770 x 1000mm

I’m pleased to report that Odeon have purchased the machine which has now been delivered to site by one of our engineers who also provided training to the cleaning staff at the cinema. The machine is also backed with our 12 months parts and labour warranty so if they have any problems they just need to call.

Viper AS5160 Repair at Bradford Retailer

Wed, 13 Feb 2019 15:39:45 +0000

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.

Viper AS5160 Repair in Bradford

An engineer was promptly assigned who aware that the problem most likely related to the vacuum side of the Viper AS5160 or floor squeegee our engineer ensured his service vehicle contained the relevant spare parts before setting off up the M6 and M62 towards Bradford.

Upon inspecting the machine, our engineer noticed fairly quickly that the loss of vacuum pressure in the machine was due to an air leak caused by a missing tank seal. It seems one of the operators had accidentally pulled the seal off the water tank lid and this had gone unnoticed. With the seal missing air was being pulled in through the recovery tank lid leading to a loss of pressure in the vacuum hose at the rear of the machine. To resolve the problem, it was a simple case of re-fitting the seal around the tank lid and then testing the machine to ensure that was indeed the cause of the problem.

The last thing we want is for an engineer to be called back to a customer after making a visit so before leaving the machine was given a full inspection and operation test to ensure the machine was fully operational. No more faults were revealed, so the machine was put back into service.

Viper AS5160 Scrubber Dryer

Viper AS5160 Walk Behind Scrubber Dryer

The Viper AS5160 is designed to deliver continuous, high-performance cleaning. Highly productive, this walk-behind scrubber drier comes with large capacity tanks and batteries to ensure cleaning for hours. It is also easy and comfortable to use, owing to its ergonomic design.

New Tennis Court Cleaning Machine for London Club

Thu, 07 Feb 2019 15:38:38 +0000

When it comes to tennis court cleaning few firms are more experienced than A3 Machines, this combined with our ability to find the best machine for customers has given us a good reputation in this market.

A good example of this is a recent request from Campden Hill Lawn Tennis Club in Kensington, London. They were concerned that their indoor tennis court floors were looking too worn and were looking for a new tennis court cleaning machine to get them looking new again.

Campden Hill Lawn Tennis Club

The Campden Hill Lawn Tennis Club was founded in 1884, just seven years after the first Wimbledon championships were held. There are few records remaining from the later 19th and early 20th centuries, but by the mid-1920s it was thriving. At this time there were already twelve courts (all with hard surfaces) and a full-time caretaker called Mr Zilwood. He lived in one of the club’s cottages with is daughter, son In law and granddaughter. In the summer, Zilwood’s daughter used to prepare refreshments for the members. For a shilling you could buy a cup of tea, two biscuits and a rock cake. How times have changed.

Between 2001 and 2002, the club was extensively refurbished, and the 12 outdoor courts were turned into six indoor and six floodlit outdoor courts. The club now boasts some of the best tennis club facilities in London and is fully subscribed.

Tennis Court Cleaning with a Viper AS710R Scrubber Dryer

After weighing up all the requirements we felt the best machine to demonstrate at the club would be a Viper AS710R ride on Scrubber dryer. This machine was the right capacity to deal with tennis court cleaning and much more, also being a ride on machine it will be able to cover all the courts quickly and without it being too much of a chore for the operator.

The machine we demonstrated was brand new and had only been used in one previous demonstration. I’m pleased to say the tennis court cleaning demonstration went well and the club were thrilled with the cleaning power of the Viper AS710R so much so, they purchased the machine using a lease purchase option. All our machines are supplied with a 12-month parts & labour warranty and we always give full training to whomever will be using the machine regularly.

Its worth noting that we currently have a Viper AS710R Ride On Scrubber Dryer hire machine available for short to long term hire.

The Viper AS710R is medium-sized ride-on scrubber dryer and the perfect solution for scrubbing and drying in heavy-traffic areas. It’s ideally suited for daily indoor cleaning in mid-sized areas of railway stations, parking areas, shopping malls, exhibition centres, schools, hotels, public institutions and other commercial environments larger than 5000m².

Truvox Hydromist Repair at Nottingham Residential Home

Thu, 31 Jan 2019 18:50:38 +0000

A3 Machines were called to a residential home in Nottingham recently, where they were having trouble with their Truvox Hydromist compact carpet cleaner. Residential homes have strict health and safety guidelines which have to be met and an important part of that involves ensuring their carpets are kept clean. With constant footfall from residents and visitors as well as other contaminants this is not a simple task. Having a professional carpet cleaning machine on hand makes that task easier and for this they relied upon a Truvox Hydromist HC250 Compact Carpet Cleaner.

Truvox Hydromist HC250 Compact Carpet Cleaner

Repairing Truvox Hydromist Carpet Cleaners

We sent an engineer down to Nottingham to inspect the machine and make any necessary repairs to ensure it was running at maximum performance. After taking a brief look at the machine it was clear it had taken some punishment over the years due to the cracks in the moulded housing. Any machine in constant use will suffer wear and tear and therefore it was not surprising that this machine was now starting to have issues.

Our engineer put the Truvox Hydromist HC250 through some tests and could see the main issue related to the vacuum system which wasn’t extracting the cleaning solution from the floor and back into the recovery tank. The source of the fault was discovered to be the seal around the main vacuum motor which was cracked and letting air into the system thus reducing the effectiveness of the vacuum.

Hydromist HC250 Carpet Cleaner With Cracked Housing and Broken Vacuum Motor Seal

After carrying out a repair on-site the machine was thoroughly re-tested to ensure the vacuum system was now working as expected and to see if there were any more faults. Discovering none, the engineer was happy with the machine’s condition and it was put back into service.

The Truvox Hydromist HC250

The Truvox Hydromist Compact (HC250) is an all in one spray extraction machine for carpet and upholstery cleaning. Featuring a powerful built-in rotary brush that lifts dirt from beneath the carpet, the Hydromist Compact provides excellent cleaning results and high productivity. Being both compact and easy to manoeuvre, the Hydromist Compact is ideal for small to medium carpeted areas in healthcare environments, schools and offices.

The main features of the machine include:

Easy to use all-in-one machine with a 25cm cleaning width.
Carpet and Upholstery spray extractor.
Powerful in-built rotary brush lifts dirt from deep within the carpet.
Powerful vacuum, pump and brush motors give maximum productivity.
High capacity 14 litre solution tank for maximum cleaning and minimum refilling.
Transparent recovery tank lid, you can see the dirt!
Quick fit spray jet for easy cleaning and maintenance.
Robust construction, built for minimum maintenance.
Easy to manoeuvre.
Large non-marking, stair climbing wheels.
Easy fit accessories for upholstery and stair cleaning.

The Truvox Hydromist Carpet Cleaner is perfect for business use. The machine conveniently has pictogram instructions on the machine for ease of use, making it ideal for employees that don’t have any experience of carpet cleaning prior to using the machine.

Hako Scrubmaster B30 Repair for Durham Classic Car Showroom

Tue, 29 Jan 2019 17:57:11 +0000

A Classic Car Sales garage in County Durham called our office regarding a problem with their Hako Scrubmaster B30 Scrubber Dryer. They had discovered that the machine was not releasing water and overall not cleaning their floors as well as it should.

Car Showroom Floor Cleaning with a Hako Scrubmaster B30

Occasionally we all like to treat ourselves to a new motor. Most of us like modern vehicles with heated seats and Bluetooth connectivity, whereas others adore their classic cars. Some can be very rare and expensive, so it is imperative to keep them in tip top condition, just as if they had come out of the factory. Bearing this in mind, you also need to keep the area around them spick and span too!

Our customer in County Durham understood the need to present their prestigious classic vehicles in the best light and as a result relied on a Hako Scrubmaster B30 scrubber dryer to keep the floors spick and span. A gleaming floor reflects the light onto the car giving the effect of wet paint and enhancing the gloss look. Without their machine in full working order the floors can get dirty very quickly and so we were asked to visit the showroom and get the machine fully operational.

Repairing a Hako Scrubmaster B30

Our engineers are trained by the manufacturer and have years of experience maintaining floor cleaning equipment so after reviewing the symptoms a service vehicle loaded with Hako parts and one of our engineers dispatched to the garage the next day.

On arrival our engineer inspected the machine and ran it through some operational tests. It wasn’t long before the source of the trouble came to light, it turns out the machine had a blocked filter, due to incorrect cleaning fluid being used. To resolve the filter was cleaned and then the system flushed out to make sure there were no other blockages. As with every repair, he then gave the machine a service to ensure the machine was working efficiency. Cleaning machines get a lot of use which results in wear and the last thing we or the customer wants is to be called back a short while later to repair another problem. It makes sense therefore to service the machine and replace any worn parts that will cause problems later whilst we are on site.

With the machine in tip-top condition it was handed back to the cleaning team including advice on which cleaning fluid to use going forward.

As well as machine sales, hire, training and repairs, A3 Machines also supply detergents, pads and other parts to keep your machine in good working order. You can give our team a call on 01630 661596, email us on info@a3machines.co.uk or visit our website – www.a3machines.co.uk.

If you need help clearing leaves and other debris from a large area, it’s well worth looking at the Billy Goat Leaf Collector. We had the opportunity to demonstrate a Billy Goat MV650SPH to a local farm shop for use in their car park and for general clean-up duties across the farm where it’s sure to make light work of the job.

A3 Machines Announce Lindhaus Dealership

Thu, 10 Jan 2019 18:44:06 +0000

A3 Machines LTD are delighted to announce that we are now a dealership for Lindhaus – Quality Cleaning Equipment! Lindhaus have an excellent reputation and are best known for their range of quality Carpet Cleaners which we are now able to supply to our customers.

About Lindhaus

The production of Lindhaus cleaning machines began in the mid 80’s with only one purpose: to design and build the best multi-functional carpet cleaners for domestic and professional use worldwide.

The machine design and styling are developed in the company using the best 3D software: ProE, CATIA. The moulds for the plastic parts are designed and largely built by Lindhaus in its mechanical department.

Lindhaus has been selected by several prestigious organisations such as the United States White House as well as other US government buildings, several large colleges and Ivy League Universities across the United States, the Slovenian and Austrian Government, the Dutch Royal Palace, the Italian Chamber of Deputies, several global church organisations, many large medical facilities and several other elite entities.

The Lindhaus machines have been considered among the best for quality and price, filtration efficiency, performance, low noise levels, durability and low power consumption. In 1992 Lindhaus opened a subsidiary in Minneapolis / Minnesota for distribution of their and domestic machines for the entire North American market.

Streaky Floor Resolved for Altrincham Retailer

Wed, 09 Jan 2019 17:33:54 +0000

Our first call out of the New Year was to an Office Supplies retailer in Altrincham to resolve a problem they had reported with their scrubber dryer which was leaving a streaky floor behind the machine and therefore had not been cleaning properly.

For retailers keeping the flooring clean and presentable for customers is very important and especially so if your part of a major chain with high standards to meet. Having a streaky floor does not meet those standards and so to achieve high marks in this area requires a lot on fully working equipment. It’s reassuring for a store manager that there is a reliable company that you can outsource this problem to and this is where the A3 Machines service and breakdown program really comes in.

Investigating the Source of Streaky Floor Marks

Scrubber dryers generally work by deploying cleaning fluid at the front of the machine, work the fluid into the machine using a large scrubbing pad and then pick up the dirty water with a long squeegee at the back of the machine where it can be extracted under vacuum into a recovery tank into the machine. Any issue with the finish on the floor is therefore most likely down to the scrubbing pad or squeegee.

Nilfisk BA 530 Floor Scrubber Dryer Floor Cleaning Machine

The machine in question was a Nilfisk BA530 Battery operated scrubber dryer and so before setting off to Altrincham our engineer ensured their service vehicle had the relevant spare parts available and a full set of service manuals to hand.

On arrival at the store in Altrincham our engineer immediately noticed the cause of the problem was due to the squeegee bar adjusters which required re-positioning. This was a simple procedure to carry out and one which the operator should have been trained on previously but in reality we know this often gets missed. To reduce unnecessary call outs in future our engineer ran through a thorough demonstration of the machine including the maintenance checks.

Whilst running through the checks our engineer noticed that the machines water filter was blocked which will have impacted the performance of the machine. With the operator in attendance the water filter was easily cleared and having solved both issues the machine was fully tested and found to be in good working order.

Nilfisk BA530 Scrubber Dryer

The Nilfisk BA 530 is a compact automatic scrubber dryer designed to leave floors clean and dry in a single quick pass. The clear, pictorial display puts all controls within easy reach and simplifies operation. Ideal for cleaning up to 1500 m2 of hard flooring in e.g. retail spaces, schools and warehouses it also features a curved squeegee to eliminate the need for spot-mopping.

Coming from the Nilfisk Grey line stable of products, it is designed for use by Contract Cleaners with a focus on Hygiene and Safety. The latest model in this line is the BA551 and BA611 which have been improved to lower cleaning costs through the reduced use of consumables.

Ultimate After Party Sticky Floor Cleaner Hire

Thu, 03 Jan 2019 20:40:17 +0000

The party season is over, the tree is coming down and the decorations are being put away. However, this usually leaves behind a mess of pine needles, glitter and other associated items leaving you in need of a sticky floor cleaner.

After Party Sticky Floor Cleaner

This was the case with a privately-owned country house in Shropshire, where after celebrating the new year in style, the owners discovered that the party revellers had left them with a very sticky conservatory floor along with the remains of hundreds of party poppers. The trail of destruction continued outside onto the terrace where more party poppers, streamers and a few broken champagne flutes remained.

Having found our website using google, the house owner gave our office a call on 2nd January 2019. He told us about his predicament and then having discussed the size of the conservatory and terrace area, we were able to give the home owner a quote for two short term hire machines, which we were able to deliver the same day.

As both the terrace and conservatory needed to be swept of debris, we took along a Nilfisk SW900 Self-propelled walk behind sweeper, as this can be used both indoor and outdoor. The second machine we supplied them with was the Viper DS350 17″ dual speed floor polisher which comes complete with scrub brush, pad holder and water tank. This machine is simple to use and perfect for hard floor scrubbing and making a sticky floor cleaner. It is often used on school floors, restaurants, shopping malls and hotels.

Whilst writing this article I have been advised the customer has already been in touch to report his conservatory floor is now clean, shining and looking like new.

Nilfisk SW900 Walk Behind Sweeper

The Nilfisk SW900 walk-behind sweeper is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and offers dust free removal of dry debris. The machine is fully controlled from the operator position and with improved ergonomics and a built-in hopper for the debris it offers maximum performance.

The sweeper is ideal for cleaning contractors, manufacturing industry, warehouses, hotels, concert venues and exhibition centres where increased productivity and time saving is a requirement.

Some other features include:
• The ergonomic handlebar makes it more comfortable to manoeuvre
• Traction lever integrated into the handlebar making is easy to adjust speed.
• The 60-litre hopper is easy to empty
• Includes a side broom control on handlebar
• Automatic on/off when side broom is lowered/raised
• Quicker and more effective cleaning of filter via an Electric Shaker system

Viper DS350 Dual Speed Floor Polisher

Viper DS350 Sticky Floor Cleaner

The Viper DS350 is a multi-use dual-speed single disc machine designed for professional cleaning. The machine can be fitted with different pads to cater for scrubbing, spray burnishing and buffering tasks. Operation is simple via the easy to use controls and is great value considering the quality attained by Viper Cleaning combined with the attractive pricing.

The Viper DS350 single disc is robust, reliable and service friendly, with the ergonomic design, you can easily scrub, clean and buffer floors. The machine is ready to use, water tank, brush and pad holder come with the machine. You can also choose the optional foam generator and carpet brush.

Features include:
• Automatic lock off when the handle is in the 90-degree vertical position.
• Soft start system and automatic brush installation.
• Low Noise due to the Aluminium base and belt driven motor.
• Large rear wheels facilitate transport and make for a well-balanced machine.

Floor Cleaning Equipment Demo at Dudley Factory

Fri, 21 Dec 2018 18:13:58 +0000

Details below of our last floor cleaning equipment demonstration for 2018 which took place at a manufacturing company in Dudley. The request came from James Walker Rotabolts who were in the market for a Pedestrian Sweeper and Scrubber Dryer floor cleaning equipment for use in their factory. They had found us on-line and having looked at our web site, were very impressed with the range of products and services that we provide.

James Walker Rotabolt

James Walker Rotabolt dates to 1880 when Scottish engineer James Walker established a business in London to sell oils and engineering accessories. These days the company is famous for their Rotabolt ® technology which converts standard bolts and studs to allow a specific tension to be applied. A finger-feel registering device – usable when wearing protective gloves or diving equipment, indicates achievement, maintenance or loss of the designed fastener tension.

This is important in Engineering as 90% of all bolted joint failures can be attributed to low bolt tension on installation tightening. Achieving and maintaining the correct installed design tension eliminates failures from fatigue, vibration loosening, structural slip and pressure containment.

Due to nature of the business, the factory floor was getting covered in tiny shards of metal which needed to cleared A) for reasons of health and safety and B) so that the floor could be properly cleaned. Having asked all the relevant questions i.e. floor type and area, we were able to take along the most appropriate machines for the task.

Oypla Manual Floor Sweeper

Oypla 20 litre floor sweeper

To deal with the metal shards we took an Oypla Manual Floor Sweeper, which collects debris into its large 20L container cassette that is easily removed for emptying.

The forward action of the machine is used to power a set of powerful roller brushes and corner brushes to ensure a thorough clean-up. The ergonomic handle can be adjusted to three different heights to suit the user and folds away for easy storage. The sweeping height can also be adjusted meaning that the sweeper is able to cope with a range of different surfaces and types of debris.

It worked perfectly on the factory floor collecting the metal shards and other debris generates during manufacturing.

AS430B Battery Powered Scrubber Dryer

Having demonstrated the Oypla Sweeper we then gave a demonstration of a Viper AS430B Battery Powered Scrubber Dryer. We chose this model of scrubber dryer as it needed to be slim enough to get into some of the narrow gaps between the machinery and work benches.

As part of the demonstration we applied a small amount of cleaning fluid diluted with water to the floor to better highlight the dirt on the floor. The Viper AS430B was then run over the floor to allow the action of the rotary scrubbing pad to deep clean the concrete floor. The rear squeegee and vacuum collects and extracts the resulting dirty water leaving the floor clean, dry and ready to walk on.

Viper AS430B Battery Powered Scrubber Dryer Floor Demonstration

The company’s health and safety manager was present for the demonstration and was very impressed with the performance; as a result and I’m happy to report a decision was made to purchase both machines. We discussed the various purchasing options and they decided to make an outright purchase and were happy for us to leave the machines with them.

A3 Machines offer several buying options i.e. outright purchase, interest free payments or lease purchase. We also offer short and long term hire and our team of engineers cover the whole of the UK carrying out servicing, training and PAT testing

All I want for Christmas Cleaning Machines

Tue, 11 Dec 2018 14:21:46 +0000

Having the right tool for the job saves time and money in the long run and this is especially true of the big Christmas Clean-up where cleaning teams around the country are at their busiest following the festivities. Two types of Christmas Cleaning Machines that are especially in demand around this time are Vacuums and Carpet Cleaners.

Christmas Cleaning – Vacuums

Once all the decorations have come down and the tree has been taken out of the office/communal area, there is usually a trail of pine needles, broken baubles, tinsel and other associated particles to be vacuumed up. If you run a care home, office, hotel or similar then you will want to keep your carpets free from debris before and after the party season.

A3 Machines offer for sale a range of commercial vacuum cleaners from several reputed suppliers including Sebo, Craftex, Karcher, Taski and Truvox. Models range from small tub vacuums which are mains operated, to upright vacuums which can be mains or battery operated. We also have a range of wet vacuums available which are especially handy for cleaning up Christmas party spillages. The battery-operated vacuums are especially beneficial where cleaning needs to be carried out in an area where people are present during the cleaning process, a good example of this is in a care home where safety is paramount.

Christmas Cleaning with Upright Vacuum Cleaners from A3 Machines

It’s worth noting that with our upright vacuums we can supply new, refurbished and ex demonstration models.

Christmas Cleaning – Extraction Carpet Cleaners

If your party went particularly well, then your carpet will probably require a deep clean afterwards!! We have a comprehensive range of extraction carpet cleaners which also have the option of an upholstery cleaning tool. We have machines to suit all floor areas and applications including popular models such as Karcher Puzzi, Prochem Polaris, Taski Aquamat and Truvox Hydromist.

Commercial Carpet Cleaners from A3 Machines

A3 Machines offer a free, no obligation survey and demonstrations. Should you wish to purchase one of our carpet cleaning machines, you can spread the cost by taking advantage of our 0% Finance option or lease purchase. We also offer short and long term hire.

Planning for Christmas with the right Floor Polisher

Mon, 03 Dec 2018 15:09:50 +0000

The Christmas season is upon us and now is the time to think about getting your floors clean with a floor polisher so you present the right impression for your seasonal visitors. It’s also an opportunity to have the right equipment in place for the deep cleaning activities that happen over the big holiday shutdown including deep polishing reception floors which are be tricky due to them being in constant use at other times of the year.

If you don’t have the right equipment for the job it’s worth talking to A3 Machines as we sell a large variety of new, refurbished and ex-demonstration floor polishers. Models we have available include 11 inch to 20 inch, slow speed, high speed and ultra-high speed from several manufacturers. Stock availability is constantly changing so it’s always best to give us a call on 01630 661596.

If you don’t feel that you need to purchase a floor polisher then hire is an excellent alternative especially if you are perhaps hiring a marquee for example and need to polish the dance floor. We have short and long term options. Perhaps you run a marquee hire business, if so then a floor polisher would be an excellent addition to your cleaning equipment to keep the floors looking as good as new after every hire.

You may already own a floor polisher, if so is it in running order or could it do with a service to ensure that it doesn’t let you down over the festive season? A3 Machines carry out full, onsite servicing on all makes of floor polishers and other types of floor cleaning machines. We also offer PAT testing. Full training is also given upon delivery of a polisher or during a demonstration.

Workshop Cleaning Machine Demo at KC Cars in Dartford

Thu, 08 Nov 2018 16:51:37 +0000

Motor dealer KC Cars of Dartford contacted us recently about a workshop cleaning machine for their service and repair centre in Dartford. They had received one of our new brochures and realised that a machine would make short work of workshop cleaning at the garage floor following a long day of repairs and servicing.

To ensure we demonstrated machine that best matched their needs the A3 sales team asked our contact at KC Cars all the relevant questions i.e. floor volume, surface type etc. As this machine was to be used for car repair workshop cleaning, they needed equipment that could cope with oil, tyre scuffs, brake dust and every day foot traffic from their team of mechanics

Car Repair Workshop Cleaning Machine Demonstration

We took along with us a reconditioned Karcher B40C Battery Operated Scrubber Dryer and a new Viper LS160HD rotary floor polisher complete with weights and a solution tank. The Karcher was to be used for every day cleaning of the floor whilst the Viper was to be used for eliminating the stubborn tyre marks and brake dust.

The workshop floor was painted concrete which was quite dirty and a good place to demonstrate the Karcher. The machine was setup and used to put down water and detergent solution which was scrubbed into the floor for a minute before extracting the soil using the machines squeegee rubber and vacuum extractor to suck up the solution and leave the floor dry.

Workshop Cleaning Demonstration at KC Cars

The next stage of the workshop cleaning demonstration was to use the Viper floor polisher which was fitted with a water/solution tank along with weights to give the floor a heavy scrub. For this application the machine was fitted with green pads which are recommended for light stripping, dirt and scuff mark removal. Once the floor had been scrubbed and tyre marks and brake dust eliminated, we used the Karcher scrubber dryer in vacuum only mode to suck up the excess water

The garage manager was very impressed and agreed to buy both machines. This was an outright purchase and he took delivery of the machines there and then which had the added advantage of avoiding any delivery costs. Both machines were supplied with a full 12 months parts and labour warranty.

School Floor Cleaning – Whitegate Primary in Cheshire

Thu, 25 Oct 2018 12:33:50 +0100

Specifying exactly the right machine for any given situation is a specialty of ours and this is especially important when it comes to school floor cleaning where you must take child safety into account. We do a lot of work supplying and maintaining floor cleaning machines at schools and colleges and have become quite familiar with their unique requirements.

A couple of weeks ago we were contacted by a head teacher who having received a copy of our latest floor cleaning brochure felt the time had come to upgrade from their mop and bucket method of school floor cleaning to a more effective machine. I say effective as mopping simply moves dirt and germs from one area across to another where as a machine will scrub, rinse and dry a floor in a single pass. Normally schools leave the job of intensive cleaning to the end of term holidays but with a scrubber dryer you can ensure the floor is scrubbed clean daily. The head teacher also wanted to be prepared for the onset of winter which will bring muddy foot prints, not to mention paw prints from “Buddy” their school canine friend.

School Floor Cleaning at Whitegate Primary

Whitegate Church of England Primary School is set in the picturesque Cheshire countryside between the towns of Northwich and Winsford. There has been a school in Whitegate since 1779 but the current building dates to 1886.

As well as occasional visits from “Buddy” the school has 24 staff serving 122 pupils aged between 5 and 11. All of whom take their toll on the flooring which is a mixture of laminate and Vinyl. The building is a single storey and comprises of a hall, classrooms, offices and kitchen.

The main area to be cleaned was the wood effect laminate flooring in the school hall which doubled up as a dining room as well as the vinyl flooring in the adjoining kitchen area.

Viper AS430B Battery Operated Scrubber Dryer

With all this in mind we took along a Viper AS430B Scrubber Dryer which is battery powered and has a water tank capacity of 40 litres which would be more than enough to clean the area in one go without the need to empty and refill. Being battery powered there would be no trailing power leads to cause trip hazards and as the machine dries the floor as part of its operation there would be no wet floors to worry about either.

If you’re not familiar with the operation of Scrubber Dryers you should know that the machine works by applying water and detergent onto a circular pad (we used a green pad for this application) at the front of the machine, the pad then scrubs the solution into the floor and then collects the now soiled cleaning solution at the back of the machine using a squeegee rubber where it is extracted from the floor by a vacuum into a recovery tank on the machine. The floor is left completely dry after approximately ten minutes.

Whitegate Primary Kitchen During School Floor Cleaning

All concerned were very impressed with the results and agreed to buy the machine straight away, this also saved on a delivery charge which always helps when you’re working to a tight budget. Before leaving we provided hands on training to ensure the staff knew how to use all the functions of the machine and be able to carry out regular maintenance activities. The supplied machine was brand new and comes with a 12 months parts and labour warranty.

Cleaning Concrete Floors at Donnington Pastry Manufacturer

Tue, 23 Oct 2018 16:25:07 +0100

A3 Machines were contacted recently about a new machine for cleaning concrete floors at their manufacturing facility in Donnington. The company specialise in the production of top end patisseries including gluten free pastry aimed at the higher end of the pastry market and supply several fine dining caterers and independent bakeries.

They have been trading from their premises in Donnington for ten years and were looking for a machine that was capable of scrubbing and drying and generally cleaning concrete floors in several areas of their premises. This was to improve hygiene and to cut down on the time cleaning concrete which was being done with a jet hose.

The three key areas to be cleaned were the refrigerated store room which was kept at a constant minus 2 degrees, consequently nobody wanted to be in there for too long, the pastry prep area (also very chilly) and the indoor loading bay.

To avoid any cross contamination, we recommended different coloured pads for each area and that the front skirts and squeegee rubber be thoroughly cleaned prior to moving between the different areas.

Scrubber Dryer Machine Demonstration

After collating all the requirements, we organised a date to go over to Donnington and demonstrate two refurbished floor cleaning machines. The machines were a Taski 1255B and a Viper Fang 24T. Both machines are battery operated walk behind pedestrian scrubber dryers.

The floors were concrete and had been tamped rather than polished, hence they were not very level, they had also been painted in a pale grey colour. Due to fact that there were a number of small dips in the floor it was clear that a number of passes with the machine would be required to get these areas completely free from dirt.

Concrete Cleaning with a Taski 1255B Scrubber Dryer in Donnington

The pastry prep room was the most challenging due the amount of spilt flour and pastry. As the floor was so dirty, we began by putting down water and food hygiene specific cleaning solution and left it down for a few minutes before using the vacuum process to suck it up.

Concrete Cleaning with a Viper Fang 24T Scrubber Dryer in Donnington

Choosing a Scrubber Dryer for Cleaning Concrete

Both machines were used in the demonstration and both performed equally well, the cleaning operative then tried them both for himself and stated that he preferred the Viper.

Having given the managing director quotes for all the purchase options he decided to purchase the machine on an interest free basis over 36 monthly payments which made the purchase very affordable. Additionally all of our new and refurbished machines are covered by a 12 months parts and labour warranty.

Before leaving we ensured that their cleaning operative was fully trained on the machine and was also given advice on preventative maintenance. If you have been reading our repair and service blogs, you will know just how important preventive maintenance is.

I should mention A3 Machines Ltd also supply pads, cleaning solutions and parts providing a one stop shop for all your cleaning machine needs.

Newcastle University Floor Cleaning Demonstration

Mon, 22 Oct 2018 19:30:00 +0100

A3 Machines were recently contacted by a nationwide cleaning company who were looking for a new machine to fulfill a university floor cleaning contract. The cleaning company have an extensive portfolio of customers around the country and the machine in this case was for use at Newcastle University. The machine would see regular use at the University floor cleaning, so they needed a new scrubber dryer that would be kept on site and would replace their existing machine.

In order to spec the right machine, we discussed the cleaning companies’ requirements over the phone and collected as much information about the working environment and floors as possible. It turns out the scrubber dryer was needed to clean the hard floors at the student’s union building which comprised of three floors and included a lounge/bar, coffee bar, theater and sports hall.

The three floors meant that the machine would need to fit into a lift and narrow enough to clean the corridors. All factors considered we decided that the best option for them would be a Viper Fang 20HD Battery Powered Scrubber Dryer.

Newcastle University Students Union

With over 26,000 students worldwide the Newcastle University Students Union building or NUSU is a central facility that provides support, advice, organised activities, sports and volunteering opportunities for the students.

The building is multi-use with catering facilities, a shop, computer hub and a basement club with the capacity to host 1,800 students so as you can imagine all the floors in the building experience significant wear.

University Floor Cleaning Demo with a Viper Fang 20HD

We organised a date to come over to the building and demonstrate the capabilities of the Viper Fang 20HD which we felt was most appropriate for the installation. On arrival we were directed to a particularly dirty and scuffed corridor which was covered with a wood effect vinyl and asked to carry out the demo.

University Floor Cleaning with a Viper Fang 20HD

As you can see from the photographs above the Viper Fang 20HD gave the corridor a thorough clean and quickly provided an impressive demonstration to the client who was soon convinced the machine was more than capable of the task.

We were able to do a deal on a reconditioned machine that we had available and were more than happy to include full training and a full 12 months parts and labour warranty which was excellent value for money.

Due to its ergonomic design, the Viper 20 battery powered scrubber dryer is easy to use, allowing for not only manoeuvrability but also ease of vision when it comes to seeing the areas around the machine. It measures 135.9 x 55.9 x 97.8 cm and features a pad/brush assist system to make it even easier for the standard user to operate. Due to its heavy-duty aluminium squeegee assembly, it is still a very robust machine all contained within rotationally moulded housing. All of this combined makes it ideal for retail and other medium sized tiled floor spaces, where ease of use is as important as depth of cleaning power.

School Floor Polishing with a Taski Ergodisc in Wales

Fri, 28 Sep 2018 18:40:17 +0100

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 School Assembly Hall

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 2014 when the John Beddoes School closed but immediately reopened as second campus of Newtown High School.

John Beddoes endowed the school with the rent from Bell Meadow to pay the bell ringer. He stipulated that should the curfew cease to be rung then the school should be closed, and the financial endowment revert to his heirs. With financial help from the composer and musician Mike Oldfield (of Tubular Bells fame), the tradition continues today on the John Beddoes Campus, where the original bell hangs in the reception area of the school.

Taski Ergodisc Floor Polisher

The Taski Ergodisc machine demonstrated at the school was actually a reconditioned machine which we were happy to supply with a 12 months parts and labour warranty. New machines are available in various models however the equivalent of the reconditioned 17” machine would be the Taski Ergodisc 400 which has the same working width and speed.

Specifications Include:

Working Width	43cm
Speed	400 rpm
Weight	343kg
Motor Height	38cm
Nominal Consumption	1100W
Cable Length	15m
Noise Level	57 dB(A)

The Taski Ergodisc 17” high speed single disc rotary machine offers safety, simplicity and versatility. It’s especially suited for spray cleaning and buffing and an ideal choice for their floor.

The demonstration went very well, and their cleaner commented on how quiet, easy to operate and user friendly the machine was. Convinced this was the ideal machine for the task they made the purchase there and then and so we left the machine with them.

Urgent Hire of Multiple Cleaning Machines

Fri, 21 Sep 2018 15:05:51 +0100

A customer recently contacted A3 Machines with an urgent hire request for multiple cleaning machines and wanted to visit our premises in Market Drayton for a demonstration. It turns out that they had recently been awarded a large cleaning contract for a factory which needed to be cleaned five days a week. Many of the areas required sweeping prior to cleaning due to a large amount of debris left daily on the floors so several different types of machines would be required. Floor debris can cause blockages in floor cleaning machinery, so we highly recommend removing it with a sweeper prior to the cleaning.

The contract was due to start shortly and given the lead time required when acquiring new machines, we recommended the following second-hand machines which were immediately available and could be supplied under a hire agreement. Hiring makes a lot of sense for contract cleaning firms as the term of the agreement can mirror that of the cleaning contract reducing the financial risk if the contract isn’t renewed.

The machines that he was interested in for urgent hire are described below and includes some video footage of the machines being demonstrated.

Victor Sprite 15″ Floor Polisher

This machine was to be used to polish the floor in the main reception area. The floor has a vinyl covering and the machine would be used in conjunction with a red floor pad which will polish and lightly clean

Hako B750R Ride on Battery Powered Scrubber Dryer

The Hako was to be used on the main factory floor. It has a very large water capacity and is capable of scrubbing large areas very quickly. Because parts of the concrete are quite uneven we advised that he used scrubbing brushes instead on floor pads for this application

Nilfisk SR1101B Ride on Battery Powered Sweeper

The Nilfisk was to be used on the main factory floor prior to scrubbing. We were advised that large amounts of debris were on the floor including pieces of wood from pallets, small pieces of shrink wrap and fork lift rubber dust. The dust tended to lay on the finished goods which was causing a problem when sending out to customers

Tennant S8 Battery Powered Pedestrian Sweeper

The Tennant was to be used to sweep the main staff walkways around the sides of the factory floor where the larger ride one would not be able to access. The main benefit of this machine is that is very compact and less hazardous in confined areas

Viper Fang 32 Battery Powered Scrubber Dryer (refurbished)

A large pedestrian machine was needed to then clean the staff walkways, not a very wide area but a very long walkway. This machine was ideal due to the large water capacity and long running time

The customer was very impressed with our extensive range of products and the fact we were able to supply them as an urgent hire and decided to take all the machines over a two-year term.

Our next step was to deliver the machines and give on-site training to his team of cleaners. We decided to present all members of staff attending with a Merit of Competency certificate having successfully displayed full user knowledge.

Taski Aquamat 45 Repair at Victorian Mansion

Tue, 18 Sep 2018 18:06:24 +0100

The head of housekeeping at a large Victorian mansion in Kent called us to report that their Taski Aquamat 45 Carpet Cleaner had developed a fault and needed repairing. The mansion forms part of Solomon’s Estate which is a highly rated venue used for weddings, conferences and corporate events.

About Solomon’s Estate

Situated just two miles outside the spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells, Salomon’s Estate is a stunning Victorian mansion, designed by the acclaimed architect Decimus Burton at the request of Sir David Salomon’s who was a political rights campaigner and Lord Mayor of London.

As well as 36 acres of beautiful rolling gardens the mansion features twelve meeting and event spaces including an impressive Victorian theatre all of which have been sympathetically restored. Many rooms feature carpeted flooring that are regularly cleaned following functions and with their Taski Aquamat 45 carpet cleaner out of action the housekeeper was keen to have it repaired as soon as possible.

Solomons Estate Royal Tunbridge Wells

Repairing a Taski Aquamat 45 Carpet Cleaner

We were able to schedule in a visit with an A3 Engineer who due to make a number of calls in the South East area that week, we had been informed that the main issue was related to the release of cleaning fluid on to the carpet so he made sure to stock his vehicle with Taski Aquamat 45 parts that were related to that part of the system.

Once at the mansion our Engineer started to inspect the machine and assess the location of the fault. The most obvious cause would be the filter and although there was some detritus that needed cleaning this wasn’t preventing water from being released. Next step was to check the solenoid which is an electromagnetic valve that controls the release of water. It was clearly faulty and so the cover of the machine was removed so the unit could be replaced with a new part.

After replacing the solenoid and giving the machine a general once over, everything was back in full working order and the machine could be used for its purpose once again. A relatively simple repair job for our engineer, but one which left our customer at the estate very happy with the result!

Taski Aquamat 45 Carpet Cleaner

The Taski Aquamat 45 employs a mechanical brushing action to achieve better and deeper cleaning results. Deep cleaning through spray extraction is the ultimate way of thoroughly cleaning your carpets. This process increases the lifetime of your carpets by removing engrained dirt whilst maintaining the high appearance levels.

The Taski Aquamat 45 is ideally suited for medium sized carpeted areas and corridors. The large tank capacity reduces the number of refilling stops. The powerful suction results in a shorter drying time. In addition to its spray extraction capability.

The machine measures at a working width of 45cm and weighs approximately 39kg. It brings bi-directional movement but is easy to use and its large solution and recovery tanks mean a decent amount of cleaning time before any cleaning or emptying needs to take place.

Mobile Cleaning Equipment Demo for British Telecom

Mon, 17 Sep 2018 16:54:25 +0100

A3 Machines are a preferred supplier to British Telecom with whom we have previously provided a range of scrubber dryers in various locations around the UK; we also carry out their servicing and repairs. Recently they contacted us above some additional machines, namely floor polishers and multi wash floor cleaners and we were asked if we could make some recommendations and carry out a demonstration of mobile cleaning equipment.

These machines were for their team of mobile janitors who service several sites and so they were specifically looking for machines which were small and light enough to be lifted in and out of their company vans.

Having reviewed the brief we selected several machines from various suppliers that we felt would best suit their needs and arranged to meet several members of their cleaning team along with their manager at one of their Birmingham depots to carry out the demonstration.

Taski Ergodisc 11 Inch Floor Polisher

Taski 11″ Ergodisc Mini Floor Polisher

Made by Diversey who are a leading global provider of cleaning solutions and weighing in at only 22kg we felt this mini floor polisher would be an ideal piece of versatile mobile cleaning equipment.

The Ergodisc comes in a number of sizes starting with the 11 inch model and is ideal for wet scrubbing, shampooing, spray cleaning and dry buffing. For those who prefer metric the 11 inch working width converts to 28cm. The brush speed of the machine is 240 RPM .

Truvox Orbis 11 Inch Floor Polisher

Truvox Orbis 11″ Floor Polisher

Similar to the Taski Ergodic, the Truvox Orbis Compact standard speed (240 rpm), single disc rotary floor polisher is designed for cleaning and scrubbing in confined spaces or small areas of floor.

Operating at only 62 decibels, the machine can be used during normal working hours without causing disruption, also at only 22kg it’s lightweight and the folding handle makes the machine easily transportable and an ideal piece of mobile cleaning equipment.

Other features of the machine are its ergonomic design which is very easy to operate and low level vibrations offering optimum operator comfort.

Victor Sprite 11 Inch Floor Polisher

Victor Sprite 11″ Floor Polisher

This is a reconditioned machine which we had available and brought it along for consideration by the team as a low-cost option. Lightweight at 22kg and a 230 RPM working speed with an 11 inch (280cm) working width It has similar specs to the Ergodisc and Orbis machines.

All the mobile cleaning equipment described above are compact enough and light enough to be easily lifted in and out of Vans by the BT janitors and can be used on their hard floors either with a scrub brush or pad holder.

The Truvox Multi Wash 340 – Makes easy work of cleaning this dirty carpet

Truvox Multi Wash 340 Scrubber Dryer Carpet Cleaner

With interchangeable brushes for carpet or hard floor cleaning that can be easily changed by the operator the Truvox Multi Wash is a very versatile machine. The machine uses technology usually found in larger scrubber dryers to wash, mop, scrubs and dry in one single pass. Featuring a rotating drum that removes the dirt from the brushes, you gain a spotless floor that’s ready to walk on in minutes

A look inside the dirty water tank of the Truvox Multi Wash !!!

These tiles hadn’t been cleaned in a very long time – This is the Truvox Multi Wash going over the tiles for the first time

Duplex 340 Floor Steam Cleaner – Scrubber Dryer Plus Carpet Cleaner

The Duplex 340 Floor Steam Cleaner, cutting through the dirty carpet

The Duplex 340 floor steam cleaner has a cleaning width of 34 cm’s (13 inches) and has a design that allows for cleaning on on all floor surfaces right up to the edge of walls and into corners. The inbuit steal generator applies steam to one of the contra rotating brushes which aids cleaning and leaves it sanitised and dry within moments.

Steam floor cleaners clean without the need for aggressive chemicals which makes the use of steam floor cleaning equipment both ecologically friendly and economically sound. This product is accepted on the water technology list.

Scrubber Dryer Solution Tank Descaling at Stoke Retailer

Thu, 13 Sep 2018 23:10:12 +0100

Once of our engineers reported back that a call we sent him on recently was caused by a severe build-up of Limescale and to resolve he had to run through a solution tank descaling procedure several times before the machine would dispense water onto the floor again.

The call originated from a customer in Stoke-on-Trent who operate a discount store there; they reported that their Viper Fang 20 HD scrubber dryer would not dispense cleaning fluid onto the floor during operation and suspecting a mechanical fault requested an engineer attend and fix the problem. As we already had an engineer in the Stoke area, we were able to attend on the same day.

Solution Tank Descaling a Viper Fang 20HD

Our engineer called into the store in Stoke-on-Trent and started working on the machine to identify the cause. Our engineer soon discovered that the problem was due to an excessively large build-up of limescale inside the solution tank which was so bad that no water whatsoever was able to leave the machine. He descaled the water tank then in the presence of their head cleaner gave advice on the importance of regular descaling and preventative maintenance. As always, following any repair or procedure, the machine was fully tested before our engineer left the premises.

If you operate a Viper Fang 20 HD yourself then we highly recommend you become familiar with the recommended maintenance procedures as highlighted in the user manual as this will ensure maximum performance from your machine and reduce call outs. For a copy of the user manual please see the following link: Viper-Fang-20HD-Scrubber-Dryer-Manual.pdf

Avoiding Hard Water Problems

Stoke-on-Trent is a Hard Water area which means that the local water has a high mineral content which are deposited on adjacent surfaces as the water evaporates. Over time this can lead to large deposits of limescale which as in the case of this machine can block the flow or impede the the progress of water through the machine.

The best way to avoid this happening is to follow Viper Cleaning machine user guide which recommends the following actions are taken “Any time scrubbing operation is completed, the solution tank should be drained and cleaned.”

Pull down on the clear tube (back left of the machine) to remove it from the hose barb. This will allow the solution to flow freely into a bucket or floor drain.
Rinse the solution tank with clean water after every use. This will help prevent chemical buildup and clogging of the solution lines.
With clean water in solution tank, turn machine power on, solution switch to “on” and pull the operating triggers. This will allow the clean water to flush through the solution plumbing.
Once tank is rinsed, flushed and drained, reconnect the clear tube to the hose barb. Be sure the tube is pushed all the way up the hose barb.

The alternative is for solution tank descaling with a strong chemical but take care if you’re doing this yourself as these products can cause severe skin burns and eye damage so always read the product label and wear appropriate protective clothing.

Taski Swingo 750B Demo at GB Ingredients in Felixstowe

Wed, 12 Sep 2018 11:30:52 +0100

Here at A3 Machines we often have available reconditioned floor cleaning machines from well-known brands such as the Taski Swingo and Viper Fang. All machines are fully refurbished and offer excellent value as a result they don’t stay in our inventory for very long so it’s best to call for the latest list.

GB Ingredients of Felixstowe were looking for a battery-operated scrubber dryer floor cleaning machine for use on their factory floor which was a mixture of concrete and ceramic tiling. They are involved in the creation of baking products, so they operate within tight cleaning standards to ensure they don’t contaminate their products.

Factory Floor Cleaning at GB Ingredients – Felixstowe

Established in 1932 GB Ingredients Ltd are now part of the baking division of Lallemand who are a large Canadian business that specialise in the production, marketing and distribution of yeast and bacteria and have operations in 40 countries. Their UK plant is the largest of its kind in the UK and serves the needs of the Baking Industry through the production of baker’s yeast, enzymes and related Ingredients. It has established an unrivalled reputation for innovation – using its leading-edge skills in biotechnology to harness nature’s know-how in the search for new bakery ingredients and processes.

Taski Swingo 750B Demonstration

Having asked all the relevant questions, we agreed a date to come down to their site in Felixstowe to carry out a demonstration. Conscious of their requirements and budget we decided to take with us a refurbished Taski Swingo 750 Battery Operated scrubber dryer.

When we arrived at the factory we unpacked the machine and got it ready for the demonstration. The cleaning team have had other machine in the past, so they soon became familiar with the controls and as we found they had set aside a particularly dirty area for the demonstration, so they could put the machine through its paces.

The Taski Swingo 750B cutting through the dirt

The machine performed well and proved perfect for their needs, there are some narrow spaces within the factory and this machine is very agile and ideal for floor cleaning in confined areas. The machine has a 43cm cleaning path and its dual axle system allows the machine to literally turn on the spot. The large cleaning and recovery tanks reduce the time-consuming tank filling and emptying stops during the cleaning process allowing for increased productivity.

I’m please to report the customer decided to purchase the refurbished machine so we were able to leave it with them. The benefits of purchasing a refurbished machine is of course the substantial saving and you also get a full 12 months parts and labour warranty

Whilst we were there the asked if we could carry out a repair on their Numatic TTB 3450 Battery Operated Scrubber Dryer. So, we took the machine back with us to our workshop for one of our engineers to investigate.

Taski Swingo 750B Specifcation

The Taski Swingo 750B is a walk-behind scrubber dryer with a 33-litre cleaning solution tank can clean up to 1290 m2 of flooring per hour. The machine is battery powered and has a working width of 17 inches (43 cm). A plug-in Taski Swingo 750E model is also available with larger capacity cleaning and recovery tanks.

The patented brush design follows the floor profile and delivers nearly even pressure allocation along the full working width. This results in excellent soil removal back to its 30-litre recovery tank. The U-shaped squeegee allows excellent water pick-up along the full working width

The Taski Swingo 750 offers maximum agility in confined areas due to a dual-axle system which makes the machine highly manoeuvrable and very easy to transport. All maintenance points are colour coded for easy identification which in turn reduces staff training time.

Viper Fang Recovery Hose Replaced at Liverpool Department Store

Tue, 11 Sep 2018 12:34:43 +0100

As an authorised Viper Cleaning service centre we stock a comprehensive range of spare parts including the Viper Fang Recovery Hose which uses vacuum pressure to transfer dirty water picked up from the rubber squeegee blades at the back of the machine into the recovery tank. The hose is external to the main housing and as a result is prone to damage and like any pressurised hose on a car engine, it will end up degrading over time and need replacing.

As a result, our Engineers always make sure they carry a full set of hoses and seals for the Viper range of cleaning machines before setting off for the day. As you will find out below, this proved useful when our engineer called into a well-known department store in Liverpool who had previously reported that their floor cleaning machine was leaving dirty water on the floor.

Floor Cleaning at a Large Department Store in Liverpool

Located in the centre of the city of Liverpool our customer sold fashion and home goods laid out over several floors and included a café area. The floors were mainly laid with large format Porcelain tiles or Vinyl.

The store is open until 8pm every day of the week except Sunday when it closes at 5pm; once the store closes the cleaning team spring into action to ensure the floor is clean and presentable for the next day and this can be particularly challenging when the sales are on. To help them in their task they have been using a Viper Fang 24T battery powered scrubber dryer to scrub and clean the floors every evening, which as you can imaging with some much floor space to cover would be impossible with just a mop and bucket, not to mention so much less effective.

Replacing a Viper Fang Recovery Hose

Armed with spare parts for the machine one of our engineers called into the department store to locate the problem and restore the performance. With dirty water being left behind the machine it was far from ideal and causing the cleaning team more work, naturally they were keen to have the machine fully operational again.

Viper Fang Recovery Hose

There are several potential causes for a fault such as this which include:

Worn seals.
Damaged or worn hose
Worn vacuum motor
Worn squeegee blades

Upon inspection of the machine, our engineer found that the Viper Fang Recovery Hose which runs from the floor squeegee to the recovery tank hose was worn and split due to general wear and tear. Cleaning machines get a lot of use over the years so as I mentioned earlier it’s not surprising to see problems arising with cracked or split hoses especially the recovery hose which operates under a vacuum. With the hose being on the outside of the machine it was a simple matter of releasing the retaining clips and replacing the hose with a spare. With the Viper Fang recovery hose replaced the machine was put through a standard set of scrubber dryer tests to ensure the machine was effectively picking up water from the floor and was operating at fully capacity.

Comac Sweeper Hire to Teagle Machinery in Truro

Mon, 10 Sep 2018 17:01:49 +0100

Although known for selling and servicing scrubber dryers its worth bearing in mind that A3 Machines can supply all types of floor cleaning machinery including in this case a large Comac Sweeper.

You may recall in July that we sold a Karcher BR40/10C floor scrubber to Teagle Farm Machinery down in Truro, Cornwall, in fact we published an article about it which you can read here: canteen-floor-cleaning-demo-teagle-farm-machinery-truro/ . One thing we didn’t mention in the article is that whilst we were there whilst we were there also enquired about a ride on sweeper to clean the floors in their warehouses which had become covered in dirt. We happened to have just the right machine available, so we returned the following week with a refurbished Comac CS80B ride on sweeper with a hydraulic hopper.

Comac Sweeper Hire

The CS80 B Ride on Floor Sweeper machine by Comac is suitable for cleaning the most resistant dirt on outdoor and indoor surfaces such as those of factory floors and external public spaces such as squares and car parks up to 20,000 sq. m.

The machine is extremely strong and compact due to its box frame built around the centre brush. Additionally, the hydraulic system is designed to reduce waste and keep oil temperature within optimum values which increases performance and minimises the use of energy. The result of the combination of these elements is the considerable reduction in consumption compared to the previous model and, as a result, the machine’s autonomy is now up to 4 hours longer.

2018 Hire prices for the Comac CS80 B are as follows:

1 Day	Add Days	Per week	Per Month	Per Month(+3)	Per Month(+6)
£140	£70	£280	£700	£560	£420 Free Delivery & Training

All prices are listed excluding VAT and are subject to VAT at the current rate.

One of the most user-friendly features is the hydraulic hopper which raises as high as an industrial wheelie bin which means that the user does not come into contact with the debris and doesn’t even have to leave the comfort of the seat whilst the machine empties.

Teagle Farm Machinery

Teagle Farm Machinery was established in 1943 and named after its founder William Thomas Teagle (Tom) on the family farm close to Truro. He started off manufacturing horse drawn tip carts for local farmers. But as his flair for engineering developed, so did his range of farming machinery.

The company has seen many other companies come and go during its 75-year history and today its range of Tomahawk livestock Feeder Bedders lead the market and form the cornerstone of a comprehensive range of machinery offered to Livestock and Arable farmers and Horticultural growers worldwide. Tom would be proud to know that from his humble beginnings, the company that he founded now ship to 35 countries, employing over 150 people at its plant in Truro.

Teagle have decided to take out a two-year hire contract on the Comac Sweeper which is covered by a full maintenance parts and labour cover (with the exception of user error) for the duration of the term of the hire.

Planned Viper Fang Service at Carlisle Retailer

Fri, 07 Sep 2018 17:58:28 +0100

We recommend you have a Viper Fang Service carried out every year to ensure your floor cleaning machine is working at maximum efficiency; like a car there are a lot of moving parts in a scrubber dryer and with daily use wear and tear is inevitable. Some of the symptoms of a poorly serviced machine include reduced battery life, less effective floor cleaning action, leaks and dirty water being left on the floor. Our service also includes a Portable Appliance Test (PAT Test) that will highlight any electrical issues and confirm the machine is safe to use.

Many of our customers take out a service contract when purchasing a machine or it is included in the contract which is quite common with rental agreements. We usually encourage our customers to take up the service option as we would rather keep our service team busy with the regular planning and carrying out service visits than responding to breakdown calls. An example of this being a Viper Fang Service we recently organised for a customer at a retail store in Carlisle, Cumbria. Fortunately, scrubber dryers see most use during the evening when the floor is closed so we are able to carry out the service during the day.

Performing the Viper Fang Service

We contacted the store in Carlisle and organised a convenient time for an A3 Engineer to work on the machine which was a Viper Fang 20HD. The store are part of a chain and the cleaning team have strict standards of cleanliness to maintain so it was important that the machine was working exactly as it should be to ensure their floors remained clean and the store met the standard.

After calling in at the store our engineer started working through the Viper Fang Service schedule which starts with a check of all the key components on the machine to spot areas of wear and tear where new parts are required. Other activities including completing all maintenance tasks which include:

Battery Tests and Electrolyte top up.
Checking floor pads for signs of uneven wear.
Cleaning and Descaling the Detergent and Recovery Tanks
Cleaning / replacing filters.
Checking the Vacuum system performance
Lubricating moving parts.
Resolving leaks and loose fasteners.

Any worn parts are swapped out for new and in this case the only additional work that needed doing was to fit a new vacuum hose as the original one had developed a small split which was causing some loss of suction and could only get worse over time. Along with the standard service, our engineer also descaled the clean water tank, squeegee rubbers and cleaned the filter. He inspected all the core elements, checking the tanks, the bolts and bearings and the general operational components of the machine.

Our engineer fully tested the machine and found that it was back to its full potential, working properly and performing well again. He then gave the customer the usual advice on following the preventative maintenance steps as detailed in the Viper Fang 20HD User Manual.

Viper Fang 20HD

Viper Fang 20 HD Walk Behind Scrubber Dryer

The Viper Fang 20 HD is a medium sized battery powered scrubber dryer is ideally suited for medium to large floor cleaning and an ideal tool for the customers cleaning team who are tasked with maintaining the floors at this busy discount store. The machine is designed to be robust, due to its rotationally moulded housing, whilst also being manoeuvrable, due to its ergonomic design. It thus strikes that fine balance between usability and solidity.

With a 560 watt brush motor and two stage vacuum motor the machine has the ability to clean up to 2000 m2 per hour. The HD in the model name stands for Heavy Duty and is designed to cope with all manner of dirt build-up, scuffing and soiling that you see day to day from customers coming into the store.

Replacing a Damaged Viper Fang Squeegee Bar

Wed, 05 Sep 2018 15:26:29 +0100

We recently sent an Engineer over to Liverpool to replace a damaged squeegee bar on a Viper Fang 20 HD Scrubber Dryer which had inadvertently become caught whilst pulling the machine out of a lift, the bar was now slightly bent and no longer as effective.

The office building in Liverpool was occupied by a large law firm who employ over 150 people. The scrubber dryer was used every week night to clean the canteen and corridor floors and the lift was the only practical way to move the machine between floors.

The squeegee bar which is sometimes referred to as the suction bar is the curved bar that runs at the back of the machine to collect the dirty water from the floor and extract it into the recovery tank using a vacuum. The bar uses a long rubber strip to scrape the water off the floor and needs to be straight in order to maintain a good contact with the floor.

Replacing a Damaged Squeegee Bar on a Viper Fang 20 HD

The curved squeegee blade is designed to be easily replaced by the operator so the squeegee bar itself is very straight forward to remove from the machine. It wasn’t long therefore before the old squeegee bar had been removed and replaced with a brand-new part that our Engineer had loaded onto his service vehicle earlier that day. During the replacement however our engineer had noticed that the waste hose which connects to the top of the squeegee bar and extracts water under vacuum to the recover tank had also been damaged in the same incident. Our engineers always carry spare hoses with them, so it was no trouble to source a replacement and fit a new one at the same time.

Viper Fang 20HD Squeegee Bar

Once replaced it was necessary to calibrate the squeegee bar via the adjacent knobs to ensure the rubber squeegee makes good contact with the floor with an even pressure from the middle to the end. Too much pressure and the squeegee will wear out faster, too little and water will get left behind. The only way to be sure it to try the machine out, test and adjust as needed.

With the adjustments completed the machine was put back into service ready for that evenings floor cleaning.

The Viper Fang 20 HD Squeegee

With a lower productivity rate and slightly smaller chassis that other machines in the Viper Fang range, the Viper Fang 20HD Scrubber Dryer is classed by Viper Cleaning as a Medium sized “Heavy Duty” model. The number 20 relates to the 51cm cleaning width of the machine, i.e. 20 inches. The width of the squeegee is 75cm’s so it does protrude from each side of the rear of the machine, however this does ensure it can more effectively capture water from the floor.

If you find the squeegee isn’t collecting the water as well as it used to then we recommend checking the squeegee blade for warping, tears and rounded edges. These blades make regular contact with the floor, so they do see a lot of wear and should be replaced if worn. Please note the blade has two straight edges so it can be removed, inverted and refitted to use the second edge before you consider replacing it. If the blade appears to be in good condition, then it’s possible the squeegee bar needs to be re-calibrated to ensure an even pressure distribution across the floor.

Nilfisk Floor Polisher Hire to Stoke-on-Trent Supermarket

Tue, 04 Sep 2018 15:57:17 +0100

A3 Machines recently took a call from the manager of a supermarket in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, who was looking for Floor Polisher Hire. It turns out they had just completed an extensive refurbishment of their store and the Terrazzo tiled floor was now in a very poor state and in of a face lift.

Hanley Tiled Supermarket Floor Before Cleaning with Nilfisk UHR 70 1700 Floor Polisher

Polishing Terrazzo Flooring

Terrazzo is the by-product of broken pieces of stone often Marble, Limestone and Granite, which rather than being wasted are set into to a cement screed and poured onto the floor or as in this case formed into a tile which once set is grinded to a polished finish. Like any polished stone Terrazzo will lose its appearance over time and the best way to restore it is burnish it with diamond encrusted pads of different grits.

Burnishing pads are available for this however to cover the 1300 m2 Terrazzo floor with a conventional machine could take weeks, so the manager wanted to know if we had a floor polisher hire that could do the job faster. Fortunately, we had available a Nilfisk UHR70-1700 burnisher that was perfect for the job.

Nilfisk UHR70-1700 Ride on Floor Polisher

Nilfisk UHR 70 1700 Ride on Floor Polisher

The Nilfisk UHR70-1700 is a battery powered ride-on burnisher with a 1700 rpm pad speed and three different pressure settings. It provides quiet and effective activity on large hard floor areas and is highly recommend for polishing stone floors in large pedestrain areas such airport terminals, shopping centres and hospitals.

The extended battery run time allows an exceptional productivity that allows for more than 12.500 m² to be burnished on one single charge. Being a ride on machine it makes burnishing large areas easy and comfortable and the adjustable floor pressure allows the machine to adapt to every kind of floor and to give a consistent finish every time.

The Nilfisk floor polisher hire is supplied complete with a pad holder and we can also supply the burnishing pads depending on what job your looking to use the machine for.

Burnishing Terrazzo with a Nilfisk UHR70-1700

We delivered the machine to the supermarket in Hanley and gave them a demonstration of how to operate it and how to use the different grades of diamond encrusted burnishing pads to restore the appearance of the Terrazzo floor.

The work went very well after receiving a call to pickup the machine we took a few pictures, so you could see the improvement in the Terrazzo tiles the machine had made.

Viper Fang 24T Circuit Breakers Tripping in Altrincham

Fri, 31 Aug 2018 16:57:48 +0100

Scrubber Dryers are large power-hungry machines with high capacity batteries and several demanding 500-watt motors so it’s quite common to for the machines to be fitted with circuit breakers to protect the components. Whilst circuit breakers are a huge improvement over fuses they do tend to be more sensitive and can cause alarm when they start tripping, especially on a machine which holds a lot of water.

This was the situation that faced a customer of ours at a large discount store in Altrincham where their Viper Fang 24T Scrubber Dryer would suddenly lose power to the brush motors which spins the drive board. The power could be restored by resetting the affected circuit breaker however with this becoming a common occurrence it was far from ideal and was very concerning to the operator, so the best course of action was to take the machine out of service and call in one of our engineers to inspect the machine.

Tracing a Problem with Circuit Breakers

There are three 35-amp circuit breakers on the Viper Fang 24T which are located just below the main control panel switches on the rear of the machine. They control power to the brush and vacuum motors via a pair of solenoids.

Our engineer made the journey to Manchester, to the market town of Altrincham, to inspect, diagnose and repair the machine. There were many potential causes for a circuit breaker tripping including worn and overheating motors so before leaving he made sure he carried the right replacement parts should a component need replacing.

Viper Fang 24T Electrical Wiring Diagram

The first step in tracing the fault is to remove the moulded housing that protects the machine and inspect the wiring and components looking for signs of overheating etc. It was at this point our engineer noticed that a loose wire on the reset switch was causing the reset to get hot and trip. The problem was soon rectified and once the repair was complete the machine was re-assembled and put through a series of tests to ensure the problem was definitely resolved.

As one of the most popular range of machines on the market, it stands to reason that we see a lot of repairs for the Viper range. Usually, these repairs are solely down to improper use of the machine, a lack of preventative maintenance or a combination of the two. However, in this case, the fault definitely needed the attention of an engineer and was one of those occasional instances where wear and tear had taken its toll on the machine and the problem could not have been reasonably avoided.

Scrubber Dryer Marking Tiles at Lincolnshire Outlet Store

Thu, 30 Aug 2018 14:53:59 +0100

We recently received a call from the cleaning manager of a large Lincolnshire outlet store to report that their scrubber dryer was marking tiles when cleaning the store floor. Clearly the machine should not be scratching or marking the floor during cleaning, so we added the store to one of our engineers call lists so that we could get to the bottom of the problem.

Marking Tiles During Cleaning

When our engineer arrived at the outlet store in Lincolnshire, he could see that the tiled floor was indeed quite badly scratched, and his first instinct was to check under the floor cleaning machine, a Viper Fang 24T Battery Powered Pedestrian Scrubber Dryer, to see if the pad and the plastic disc that holds it in place were aligned correctly. The floor cleaning machine being used in store was ideal for medium-to-large cleaning jobs and has an ergonomic design that makes navigating the display equipment easier to manage.

The cause of the marks on the floor in this instance was that the pad had been incorrectly fitted to the pad holder. When fitting a pad to the pad holder, it is held in place by a plastic centre disc, the disc must be screwed firmly in so that it forms a dish shape. In the case of this store, the disc was lying flush to the pad, causing it to make contact with the floor and therefore scratching and marking tiles as it cleaned.

After showing the cleaning manager the correct way to attach pads to the centre disc in the pad holder, our engineer was able to demonstrate that using the machine was now no longer marking the vinyl floor space. An easy problem to rectify for our engineer, but also an easy problem to avoid in the first place.

Viper Fang 24T Scrubber Dryer Pads

Viper Fang 24T Floor Cleaning Pads

In many cases it’s possible to polish the scratches out of tiles floors using the right combination of abrasive pads. The pads are colour coded with each colour corresponding to a different cleaning purpose, whether it be a wet clean, a dry buff or a polish.

BLACK – Stripping Pad – Removes heavy dirt, sealants, wax.
BLUE – Wet Scrub/Heavy Duty Pad – Severe cleaning when wet, light stripping when dry.
GREEN – Light Stripping Pad – Removes dirt, scuff marks etc
TAN – Light clean/Buffing pad – Light – medium cleaning and buffing at the same time.
RED – Light clean/Buffing pad – Light clean and used for buffing.
WHITE – Polishing pad – To be used on a surface free of dirt for a high shine.

Generally speaking pads are colour coded using the scheme above however this can change depending on the manufacturer so always best to check. A3 Machines stock a variety of compatible pads for all types for floor cleaning machines so if you’re unsure which pads to order please call us on 01630 661 596 and our team will be happy to advise you. Alternatively pads can be purchased via the following link: Viper Fang 24T Floor Pads

Scrubber Dryer Switch Fault Repair at Nottingham Store

Wed, 29 Aug 2018 14:43:41 +0100

The owner of an independent retail store in Nottingham called us recently to report what he thought was a switch fault with their Viper Fang 20HD scrubber dryer. This machine has several rocker switches on the main panel that control various functions and they were unable to get any power to the water release and vacuum mechanisms.

A3 Machines service floor cleaning machines for a wide range of customers from food manufacturers, large cleaning companies and retail chains right down to smaller independent shops. Quite often the machine has seen a lot of use which causes wear and tear and so like a car which has travelled a lot of miles it will develop the occasional fault.

The store owner relied on the machine to keep the floors clean and maintain a presentable appearance for their customers and without being able to engage the water release or the vacuum to recover the water from the floor the machine was unusable.

Diagnosing a Viper Fang 20HD Switch Fault

Our engineer made the journey to Nottingham, to inspect the machine and repair the fault. Before leaving he made sure to stock his vehicle with spare parts for the Viper Fang 20HD including replacement rocker switches. Our engineers also carry a spare scrubber dryer which can be left with the customer in case the problem cannot be repaired on-site.

Viper Fang 20HD Electrical Swtiches from Viper Fang 20HD User Manual

Given the two faults happened at the same time and both functions were electrically controlled, one being a solenoid and the other a motor our engineer felt it was unlikely to be a switch fault and suspected the cause of the problem was likely to do with the wiring within the machine or a faulty circuit breaker. After stripping down the machine to reveal the wiring his suspicions were proven correct when he found that a wire had worked its way loose and so power was not being delivered to the rocker switches on the control panel. The problem was soon rectified, and the machine was then put through a full set of standard tests to ensure there were no other faults or worn parts that would need addressing. All was well, so the machine was put back into service.

Viper Fang 20HD Scrubber Dryer

The Viper Fang 20 is a medium sized battery powered scrubber dryer. It is designed to be robust, due to its rotationally moulded housing, whilst also being manoeuvrable, due to its ergonomic design. It thus strikes that fine balance between usability and solidity. The machine comes with an extra set of squeegees on board, ensuring the user can regularly change and clean part when needed. There is also an on-board charger for the battery. The vacuum motor is two-stage, meaning the pressure applied by the vacuum can be altered for different surfaces if needed.

The brush is powered by a 560w motor whilst the vacuum is also powerful, controlled by a 400w motor. The solution and recovery tanks can hold 61ltrs of liquid and It weighs approximately 138kg as standard, though this can obviously vary depending on the liquid contained in the machine.

Viper Transaxle Replaced under Warranty at Birmingham Retailer

Tue, 28 Aug 2018 18:48:57 +0100

If your reading this post looking for a Viper Transaxle for your sports car, I’m afraid you have come to the wrong place, A3 Machines are specialists in the supply and maintenance of floor cleaning machines and the Viper in question was a Viper Fang 24T scrubber dryer.

We received a service call from the cleaning manager of a large retail store informing us of a drive issue they were experiencing with their floor cleaning machine. The T in Viper Fang 24T stands for traction and refers to the drive motor in the Viper Transaxle, given it was no longer worked was quite concerning as the company had only purchased the machine from us only a short time ago however it was still covered by the manufacturers warranty.

Our engineers cover the whole country however in this instance, the store wasn’t too far away from our offices and was located in Birmingham in the Midlands. As one of the largest cities in the United Kingdom, Birmingham has a large array of shops and retailers and our customer was just one such example.

Replacing a Viper Transaxle

All of our floor cleaning machines are covered by a 12 months parts and labour warranty whether supplied new or reconditioned, so when we received a call from the manager of a large retail store in Birmingham to tell us that their Viper 24 Scrubber Dryer which was eleven months old had no drive, we were able to repair it for them, completely free of charge.

We sent an engineer on his way to Birmingham to assess the fault and diagnose what could be causing the lack of drive. Suspecting an electrical issue, he ran a number of diagnostic tests and it was clear that power was reaching the Viper Transaxle drive unit, but the 560 drive motor was not responding. It was therefore apparent that the drive motor in the unit had failed and would need replacing.

Replacement Viper Transaxle

The Viper Transaxle drive unit is usually very reliable and so we don’t usually keep a stock of replacements however we can order them in so in this case our engineer had to leave the store with a free of charge loan machine whilst he ordered in the new transaxle from Viper cleaning. The part actually arrived promptly the following day and our engineer was able to make the repair and return the machine to the customer shortly after and retrieve the loan machine.

Viper Fang 24 Pedestrian Scrubber Dryer

The Viper Fang 24T scrubber dryer is a robust machine designed for the regular cleaning of medium to large areas of commercial flooring. The machine works in virtue of two tanks, the first holds up to 66 litres clean water and detergent and this is deposited at the front of the machine. The brushes then scrub the cleaning solution into the floor and the dirty water is collected from the squeegee at the back of the machine where it is extracted from the floor under vacuum and deposited in the 75 litre recovery tank.

The machine is battery powered which combined with its large tanks enable it to clean up to 2,400 square meters per hour making light work of what would otherwise be a labour intensive task. Measuring 141 x 66 x 100cm, it is housed in a strong moulded body shell, but its size means that it is durable whilst also being manoeuvrable. It is protected by front and rear collision protection and an impact-proof cover

Fimap MR60B Repair at Sony Warehouse in Enfield

Fri, 24 Aug 2018 18:35:13 +0100

A3 Machines recently took a call from Sony DADC in Enfield who were looking for a company to make a Fimap MR60B Repair, it seems the scrubber dryer was not dispensing detergent onto the floor during operation making it ineffective.

Warehouse Floor Cleaning at Sony DADC

Sony DADC are a leading provider of physical distribution solutions to the entertainment industry which includes manufacturing and distribution of digital media. Part of this global solution includes the operation of an impressive distribution warehouse in Enfield.

The warehouse is very busy and with such a large floor area to keep clean they operate a battery powered ride-on Fimap MR60B scrubber dryer to keep on top of debris and other soiling that would build up over the course of the daily running of the facility. Interesting Fimap categorise this machine as a small scrubber dryer for the cleaning of large commercial or industrial areas up to 6,500 square meters where as their medium sized Fimap MG85B can cover up to 10,000 square meters.

We sent one of our engineers down to the warehouse in Enfield to diagnose the problem and make the Fimap MR60B Repair. Being in North London and close to the M25 and other major motorways it’s not surprising they chose this location to base their warehouse.

Fimap MR60B Repair

On inspection our engineer found that the tap/flow lever bolt had become loose and was now missing, without the bolt in place the lever the water cut off value was disconnected and therefore the cleaning detergent was not being distributed to the floor. Our engineer replaced the bolt and secured it with lock tight adhesive to ensure it wouldn’t come loose again. This cured the problem straight away.

Fimap MR Detergent Flow Regulator Tap

You can see a picture of the detergent lever in this picture copied from page 18 of the Fimap User and Maintenance Manual, there’s a link to the manual below. The lever is used to control the flow of detergent onto the floor and is pushed downwards to increase the flow, upwards to decrease the flow. Operators need to gauge the correct amount of detergent to apply to the floor depending on the degree of dirt and the speed of the machine.

Whilst on site he was asked if he could give the machine a service which he was able to do for them and then finished with a full operational test to ensure the machine was working at full capacity. The customer was very happy with our service and were left with a fully functional machine.

Viper Fang Waste Leak Repair at Barnsley Car Showroom

Thu, 23 Aug 2018 17:29:31 +0100

With up to 75 litres of dirty water on board the Viper Fang 24T scrubber dryer can cause quite a mess should the waste leak. The facilities manager of a large showroom in Barnsley experienced exactly this problem when they experienced a waste leak via the recovery tank drain hose and called us in to get it repaired.

With a long industrial heritage that includes linen production and coal mining, this South Yorkshire town has always been busy and a recent re-generation scheme to rethink the town and promote its long history has helped its popularity and become a great location for all types of businesses.

Assessing the Waste Leak

Armed with spare parts for the machine we scheduled a call for one of our engineers to drop into the car showroom in Barnsley and repair the scrubber dryer. With the waste leak causing pools of dirty water on the floor the machine wasn’t in a useable condition and the customer was keen to have the machine operational again to maintain the floor the of the car showroom.

Upon inspection of the machine, our engineer found that the drain hose was worn and split due to general wear and tear. Cleaning machines get a lot of use over the years so it’s not surprising to see problems arising with cracked or split hoses. The machine uses gravity to allow the recovery tank to be drained so he recovery drain hose is permanently filled with dirty water from the recovery tank. The solution was to replace the hose which involves stripping down part of the machine, disconnecting the old hose and replacing with new.

With the drain hose replaced the machine was put through a standard set of scrubber dryer tests to ensure the waste leak was resolved and the machine was operating at fully capacity. All was well, so the machine was returned to operation much to the relief of the facilities manager.

Viper Fang 24T Recovery Tank Drain Hose

The Viper Fang 24T scrubber-dryer is a robust machine. Measuring 141 x 66 x 100cm, it is housed in moulded plastic but its size means that it is durable whilst also being manoeuvrable. It is protected by front and rear collision protection and an impact-proof cover. It works in virtue of two tanks, one of which releases clean water and chemicals. The brushes then scrub the floor and the dirty water is sucked up as the machine moves over it, depositing the dirty water in the second tank. This makes it very simple to dispose of the dirty water, and the 66-litre tank means the user can spend less time emptying and more time cleaning.

Rubber Gym Floor Cleaning Machine for CrossFit Beorn

Tue, 21 Aug 2018 16:30:03 +0100

The owner of CrossFit Beorn in Bury St Edmunds contacted us recently about supplying a rubber gym floor cleaning machine. As it turns out he had already been browsing our website and spotted we had a reconditioned Karcher BD40/25C scrubber dryer available which he felt would be suitable for the job.

Here at A3 Machines we get asked to supply equipment for all sorts of environments and from experience I can tell you that when it comes to floor cleaning you really need to try before you buy. With this in mind we offered to come across to the Gym in Suffolk and demonstrate the machine on-site cleaning the rubber flooring.

CrossFit Beorn

CrossFit Beorn specialise in running cross fit classes led by a specialist coach who focuses on keeping you on track to reach your fitness goals using a variety of exercises and equipment. The idea is you get the best of personal training and group training at a fraction of the cost, plus training in a group really helps push you and gives you an extra incentive to work harder. If your interested in signing up for a class please visit their website at: http://crossfitbeorn.com

Due to the nature of the business the floor was fitted out with large sections of rubber matting to prevent slipping and provide an impact absorbing surface more suitable to high intensity workout activities. The flooring works well for their needs however they want to present a clean environment for their customers but have had trouble removing dirty footprints and heavy chalk marks, especially around the area where the pull up rings are situated. Textured surfaces are well known for being difficult to clean as they can become easily ingrained with dirt.

Demonstrating Rubber Gym Floor Cleaning with a Karcher BD40/25C

The Karcher BD40/25C was setup on site and the clean water tank filled with water and a mild detergent. The machine was the run over the rubber flooring to see how it would cope. The machine works by releasing the diluted detergent onto the flooring and then immediately scrubbing it into the surface using a polypropylene brush. This action released the dirt from the floor whilst a suction vacuum and hose extract the now soiled detergent into a separate tank on the machine. Below are some photos of the demonstration

Here you can see how the Karcher has cut through the dirt on the rubber matting

The chalk marks are the biggest issue

This photo shows a section where the chalk marks have been removed.

The machine worked well on the rubber flooring and the owner of the gym was very impressed, especially when he saw how thick and dirty the water was inside the recovery tank. Convinced this was the machine for the job he decided to buy the machine which we left with him, hence saving a delivery charge.

Karcher BD40/25C

Reconditioned Floor Cleaning Machines

Reconditioned floor cleaning machines offer excellent value and A3 Machines often have stock however you really do need to call us for the latest equipment list as they are popular with customers and stock is changing frequently.

Karcher themselves no longer stock the BD40/25 having replaced it with the BR40/25, earlier this year wep ublished an overview of the Karcher BR40/25 which you will find at: http://sales.a3machines.info/karcher-br40-25-review/

Annual Viper Fang 20HD Service at Discount Retailer in Wisbech

Mon, 20 Aug 2018 15:20:45 +0100

Details below of a Viper Fang 20HD Service we recently carried out a for a national chain of discount stores at their branch in Wisebech, Cambridgeshire. Floor cleaning machines get a lot of wear so to avoid breakdowns and ensure the machine performs at an optimum level we highly recommend having your equipment serviced every year, we can also complete a PAT test on the machine to ensure you have met health and safety requirements.

A3 machines have service contracts with several nationwide retailers which keep our engineers busy servicing and repairing floor cleaning machines across the country. The discount retailer in Wisbech is part of a network of more than 400 retail stores and stock a wide range of discounted home wares from bedding and bathroom products to pet care products and children’s toys.

Annual Viper Fang 20HD Service

For efficiency our service team work out a rota and route whereby an engineer is scheduled to call into several customers over the course of a single day. Naturally they need to ensure they are carrying all the spare parts for the machines they are visiting over the course of the route, so it helps if multiple Viper Fang 20HD Service activities or other model machines are carried out on the same day.

After calling in at the store our engineer started the Viper Fang 20HD service which starts with a check of all the key components on the machine to spot areas of wear and tear where new parts are required. Other activities including completing all maintenance tasks which include:

Battery Tests and Electrolyte top up.
Checking floor pads for signs of uneven wear.
Cleaning and Descaling the Detergent and Recovery Tanks
Cleaning / replacing filters.
Checking the Vacuum system performance
Lubricating moving parts.
Resolving leaks and loose fasteners.

There were only a couple of minor issues that needed rectifying. The first was that the suction rubbers had become worn down, as is expected in a machine that has been in steady use for five years. As our engineer had a ready stock of replacement rubbers on his van, it was no problem at all for him to furnish the machine with a new set of suction rubbers as part of the service. The second minor issue was the waste hose, which had also become worn and needed replacing. Again, this was no problem for our engineer, who carried the replacement stock with him, suspecting that this may be a job that needed doing whilst on-site.

After the service the machine was given a PAT Test to check for any electrical issues and then a full operational test to check the machine was performing efficiently. The machine passed all the tests and it was clear that this floor scrubber dryer had been well looked after over its five years of service which proves the point that preventative maintenance really is effective.
