by Shane Henson — June 5, 2013—Janitorial staff given the new SC400 Walk-Behind Scrubber from Advance, a brand of Nilfisk-Advance Inc., will likely appreciate the break from mops and buckets as well as the reduced cleaning time needed for small areas when using this machine.
Advance recently released the SC400 to bridge the gap between labor-intensive mops and buckets and high-priced, large automatic scrubbers. Featuring a compact size and six-gallon solution/recovery tank, the SC400 enhances productivity for small-area cleaning, including gas stations, schools and healthcare facilities, the company says.
The SC400 maximizes cleaning productivity with a unique center-pivot squeegee system. Employing a gas spring for optimal blade pressure, the squeegee system can effectively pick up solution in both forward and reverse in just one pass—leaving the floors clean, dry and ready for foot traffic faster than alternative solutions, Advance says. The machine also features fully variable solution control settings, allowing operators to clean for over one hour on a single tank.
Additional benefits include:
- Simple operation with little-to-no training required via one-touch operation;
- Compact, highly maneuverable design that allows cleaning in space-restricted areas;
- Low operating sound level of only 67 dB A meets LEED-EB and GS-42 noise standards that makes daytime cleaning or cleaning of noise-sensitive areas viable; and
- Sustainable cleaning guaranteed with minimal water and detergent use and maintenance-free gel batteries.
