Today’s professional cleaning machines offer solutions that combine savings and durability, comfort and innovation. Here are some examples of how technologies are evolving, raising the bar in terms of quality
High-efficiency suction motor
Lindhaus LS38 L-ION vacuum sweeper is a machine covered by an international patent. “It combines the mechanical force of two counter-rotating rollers ‘twin force’, which rotate at 2,000 rpm, to a perfect suction across the entire width – explains Claudia Massaro, Marketing Director at Lindhaus –. Rotafil, our subsidiary, has created for this machine a new high-efficiency suction motor with an integrated traction system for the two rollers. In particular, the traction system with toothed belts/Poli V is patented and allows for counter-rotating rotation of the rollers with maximum silence and reliability.
With only 14 cm high, the LS38 can easily vacuum under furniture and cars, ensuring complete and impeccable cleaning. Energy consumption is extremely low: only 400 W for the Electric version and 270 W for the L-ION version. The machine runs smoothly on 4 anti-scratch rubber wheels. The central wheels are pivoting, allowing for incredible maneuverability. The swivel joint allows for a practical steering effect. The machine is completely at ease on both polished and rough floors with wide and deep joints”.
Professional cleaning and robotics
In the world of professional cleaning, innovation is bringing numerous new developments to the market thanks to new technologies that “tell” about a rapidly evolving sector. One of these is Comac SELF.Y. “This floor scrubber cobot – says Paolo Taoso, Head of Marketing at Comac – integrates perfectly into the team dedicated to the cleaning of the environments in order to give more value to time, ensuring consistent results and proven cleanliness. It is easy to configure, even for less experienced operators, thanks to its interactive display and numerous sensors, including a 3D camera, LiDAR sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and Cliff sensors, which allow it to map the environment in detail to create the most effective cleaning route”.
The cobot is able to adapt in real time to obstacles, route changes, and the presence of people, and offers two autonomous working modes: Learn&Repeat and Perimeter. There is also a third option: the cobot can be used as a traditional floor scrubber by selecting Manual mode.
Another feature of the machine is that tasks can be assigned to SELF.Y to customize its operations. “Each task – Taoso explains – is associated with a unique code that allows to define a customized cleaning program in terms of: cleaning mode, route, and type of environment to be cleaned”. Besides, SELF.Y ensures constant data monitoring thanks to CFC (Comac Fleet Care) technology, which allows user to monitor the health of the machines in the fleet, whether they are in use and by whom, in order to intervene promptly if necessary.
Technology for sanitizing
Steam is another technology that has enabled various innovations and evolved into a range of applications: from cleaning to sanitizing and disinfestation. “Steam – says Francesca Polti, President and CEO of Polti – is an extremely versatile resource: it allows for deep cleaning, sanitizing without the use of chemicals, and eliminating bed bugs quickly and immediately”.
Specifically for sanitization, the company has created Polti Sani System, a line of Steam Disinfection Devices that use Polti’s patented technology based on Superheated Dry Saturated Steam, which reaches temperatures of up to 180°C, guaranteeing bactericidal, sporicidal, fungicidal, levurocidal, and virucidal action. “The range – adds Francesca Polti – includes several models designed for healthcare facilities, schools, hotels, offices, and all environments where rapid and effective sanitization is required on any surface, including fabrics”.
