Euromec Makes A Clean Sweep

Keeping on top of the dust and grime that can accumulate in the workplace is a full time job. In determining the correct equipment to employ, several factors have to be considered. Leicestershire-based Euromec, a specialist supplier of industrial cleaning machines, has the answers.

The most obvious consideration is the type of debris to be removed. Powered sweepers are used to collect dirt, paper and other common types of rubbish. Where there is stubborn grease and grime, combination scrubber dryers are the best solution. Size matters. The machine needs to be big enough to cope with the area to be cleaned in a reasonable time scale, yet manoeuvrable enough to operate within the confines of the building?s layout.

Euromec offers fourteen walk-behind or ride-on sweepers. The company has a solution for any operation. Larger ride-on versions are best for cleaning large open spaces, inside or out, whilst the smaller riders and pedestrian units are particularly suited to busy production areas and confined spaces. Euromec?s Brava and Atom ranges feature twin side brushes, as well as the main central brush for optimum cleaning efficiency. They are also equipped with a wet and dry vacuum cleaner for cleaning in awkward areas - shelves, behind racking and production machinery.

All the machines use a patented ?Dust Buster? sweeping system. The main brush sweeps against the direction of travel and throws the refuse into a rear mounted hopper. Powerful vacuum systems control the dust. Vacuumised side brushes ensure that the machines sweep totally dust-free.

Safety is also important. On all Euromec?s ride-on machines, the driver is seated at the front. Consequently, he has excellent all round visibility, ensuring safe and easy operation, when working in busy areas with lots of other traffic and pedestrian activity.

Euromec?s floor scrubbers are designed to effectively clean tough grease and grime whilst suppressing dust. Advances in technology mean that small ride-on scrubber driers, like Euromec?s Drive, offer far greater productivity than equivalent pedestrian models and do not cost a great deal more.

At TNT Retail Express? Leicester Logistics centre, the floors are kept clean with a Drive Scrubber Dryer. Compact in design, it has a robust steel chassis surrounded by high capacity polythene solution and recovery tanks. Scrubbing performance is excellent due to adjustable scrubbing brush pressure and cleaning solution delivery. A full width squeegee ensures that the floor is also left dry.

Rob McLean TNT?s Cleaning Supervisor comments. ? Drive is a superb cleaning machine. It is extremely manoeuvrable and can easily access the confined spaces between racks and conveyors. You can really see the results after its use.? All machines feature single, two-disc or roller brush options for cleaning different surfaces. A powerful sweeping attachment can be fitted, which enables scrubbing and sweeping in one pass, without the area having to be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. Cost of ownership is considerably reduced. Euromec?s sweepers and floor scrubbers include a comprehensive three-year warranty in the purchase price.
