by Shane Henson — March 22, 2013—Advance has released a battery-operated automatic floor scrubber designed to offer dependable performance, high productivity and low maintenance to handle the floors of heavy-traffic buildings, the company says. Advance is a brand of Nilfisk-Advance, a worldwide supplier of professional commercial and industrial floor cleaning equipment.
According to Advance, its SC450 machine provides a cost-efficient solution for contract cleaning in applications ranging from hospitals and schools to manufacturing facilities and warehouses. Designed with the operator in mind, this contract-grade machine features simple and intuitive controls to ensure easy training. A unique two-button control panel allows users to quickly switch between scrub and vacuum functions, while the vacuum motor, brushes and water automatically shut off when the tank is full or when the machine is in neutral.
“With flexible cleaning performance, the SC450 accommodates both small and large daily jobs,” said Brian Dodd, product manager of Nilfisk-Advance. “Employing one machine that is both dependable and highly productive allows contractors to clean more with less, which not only simplifies cleaning operations but also maximizes their bottom line.”
The SC450 offers the following features and benefits:
- Wrap-around ergonomic handle system providing operator comfort;
- Safety on/off switch located on the handle for operator convenience;
- Easy-to-access, 11.9 gallon recovery tank allowing for simple cleanup;
- Variable pad driven assistance;
- Front fill, 10.5 gallon solution tank;
