Some of the sustainable technologies available today from Nilfisk include:
- Ecoflex™ – Allows customer to save up to 50% of the machine’s water usage.
- Gives you the ability to easily select the right combination brush pressure, water and detergent based on the cleaning level needed.
- Default start-up mode is green, low-flow, and detergent-free. Effortlessly switch between water-only cleaning or different cleaning intensities at the touch of a button.
- The Ecoflex system operates so efficiently that it significantly lowers environmental impact: in water, in detergent, and in not so obvious areas such as energy use.
- SmartFlow™ – Reduces water and detergent use by up to 50%.
- Automatically reduces the solution flow rate when the machine is slowed down.
- Ensures a consistent cleaning without wasting water and chemicals when they aren’t needed.
- REV™ Random Orbital Scrubbing Technology – Superior daily scrubbing with far less water and chemicals.
- The first and only scrubbing system that utilizes distinct orbital and rotational motions.
- This powerful, patented combination delivers a uniform, non-swirled floor surface.
- REV is so effective at deep scrubbing that you can remove old floor finish in a single pass — with no chemicals at all — leaving floors ready for restoration.
- Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) – Uses UV light to kill microorganisms.
- UV-C light damages the DNA of bacteria, viruses and other pathogens.
- Allows floor scrubbers to use significantly less detergent and chemicals for disinfection.
- SilenTech™ – Reduces noise pollution.
- Silent mode function operates at ultra-low sound level.
- Ideal for daytime cleaning, even in sound-sensitive areas.
Remember the Basics
Tried-and-true best practices also contribute to sustainability. Remember the benefits of:
- Buying high-quality equipment from a reputable dealer.
- Quality equipment can be fixed/refurbished to extend the life of the equipment.
- Equipment won't have to be replaced as often.
- Ensuring your equipment manufacturer has an extensive service network and service plans that fit your needs and budget.
- Looking for ways to promote efficiency, which saves not only time, but also all of the resources used in cleaning. Equipment features that increase efficiency are a great way to get the most out of every hour:
- Autonomous equipment that can clean large hard floors with minimal supervision
- Intuitive programming
- Easy operation
- Ability to change cleaning functions at the touch of a button without stopping the machine
- Multiple functions, e.g., scrub and dry floors in a single pass
- Battery options, such as Lithium-ion batteries that can clean for hours on a single charge
- Text messaging when it is time for your robotic scrubber to move on to the next task
- Trackable performance data
As facilities everywhere increase their sustainability goals, you can help them meet the challenge with a cleaning program that is truly going green.
