Types by appointment

Those who need to purchase cleaning equipment are advised to choose devices according to the type of purpose. This criterion takes into account the area to be harvested, as well as the additional functions of the machine.

For cleaning streets and sidewalks

Street cleaning machines are divided into several groups according to the type of shipment of the collected waste:

1. Equipment with a special hatch or shutter. When the technician removes the valve, debris is poured out of the container under its own weight.
2. Equipment with a dump type of shipment.
3. Technique with a forced type of shipment. In this case, the garbage is unloaded from the container under the action of a special shutter, which begins to push it towards the opening.

For giving

Those who purchase cleaning equipment at their summer cottage are advised to focus on the basic functions of the machine. It is convenient to clean the area using a manual machine, which can be set to the desired direction with minimal effort. For these purposes, hand-held battery-powered machines with a charge designed for a specific work session are suitable.

For warehouse

It is customary to clean warehouse premises using vacuum accumulator or gasoline devices. They remove dust and sweep the room at the same time.

Differences in little things

So, we have considered THREE main parameters for choosing a scrubber dryer:

1. Type: rechargeable or network
2. Size: small, medium, large, riders
3. Brush type: disc or roller.

Having decided on these parameters, we very much narrowed the range of choice of a scrubber drier

Now it remains to choose a model, paying attention to various little things and certain conveniences. Here you can pay attention to the wheel drive of medium and large scrubber driers.

This function greatly facilitates the work of the operator. It is also possible to choose between electronic and mechanical control of the machine functions. Here you need to understand that pressing a button is always easier than pulling a lever, but the electronics are less reliable, and in the event of a breakdown, you will have more expensive repairs.

Varieties of cars

Depending on the type and purpose, special equipment is divided into several varieties.

By type, it is divided into:

• Combined.
• Trailed.

The combined unit is a truck-mounted unit that includes the truck itself, cleaning brushes, a water tank and spray nozzles. Trailed is a trailer that attaches to the vehicle and does not require its complete re-equipment. The advantage of trailed equipment is its versatility - after disconnecting the trailer, the car can be used for transporting goods or for other purposes. Attached equipment is a special attachment for tractors and self-propelled machines. They connect to the front (instead of the bucket) or to the rear (instead of agricultural equipment). Like the cleaning trailer, they can be detached and the tractor used for other purposes.

Expert opinion
Kulikov Vladimir Sergeevich

There are ultra-compact combined devices that include only brushes, but do not provide for the treatment of the surface to be cleaned with water. They are very convenient as they can be mounted on small cars, but the lack of a water tank makes them ineffective.

Depending on the purpose, the technique is divided into:

The first type is intended for cleaning the roadway, the second one for the sidewalk.In fact, they are no different, except for the size: the devices intended for the sidewalk are somewhat narrower, while the machines for the roadbed have a more impressive width.

The main categories of professional cleaning equipment

As noted, the classification of cleaning equipment is carried out on the basis of the tasks and goals that such tools and equipment solve. In particular, for wiping glasses, they purchase some cleaning agents, and for disinfection - specialized compositions. Among the modern inventory there are professional equipment and tools that solve strictly defined tasks. Such products are used for cleaning premises with increased requirements for cleanliness.

> Also, the gradation of professional equipment is carried out taking into account the frequency and nature of cleaning. There are similar products for everyday, special, multipurpose and other cleaning. Therefore, inventory requirements differ depending on the type of classification used.

Special equipment

Regardless of the type of equipment, the following requirements apply to special cleaning equipment:

• high performance;
• strength;
• reliability;
• long service life.

Also, such equipment should not damage furniture during the cleaning process. For cleaning living quarters, it is recommended to purchase equipment that does not make noise during operation.

Special cleaning equipment is divided into the following types:

• vacuum cleaners for dry cleaning;
• vacuum pumps;
• carpet cleaners (carpet washers);
• polishers (single-disk machines);
• sweepers and others.

Vacuum cleaners are used to clean carpets, rugs, upholstered furniture and other items from dust and debris. These devices are complemented by various attachments, each of which performs a specific function. Vacuum cleaners are used for everyday cleaning.

Dust pumps are designed to remove stubborn stains. These devices also have ways to collect wet debris. For cleaning carpets, specialized extractors are used, which remove dirt with the help of detergents. Scrubber driers have been created for cleaning floors. Some types of this technique are capable of sweeping flat surfaces. For the finishing of floors, floor polishers are used, which apply wax or polish the surfaces.

Household goods

The group of household goods combines:

• mops;
• brushes for washing windows;
• gloves and wipers;
• napkins (microfiber and other materials);
• sponges;
• brushes and more.

The group of household goods includes attachments for mops and other devices for cleaning premises. The listed inventory is divided into separate groups depending on the area of ​​application.

Buckets, wringers

According to a number of classifications, buckets and wringers are household goods. Such products are made of durable plastic that can withstand repeated and many years of use. Buckets and wringers are also divided into several groups.

For washing windows

For window cleaning are used:

• a sponge for applying a cleaning agent;
• a tool for cutting the solution;
• telescopic handle.

These items are included in the standard window cleaning kit. Also in this case, microfiber rags and other similar products are used.

For cleaning premises

The group of inventory designed for cleaning premises is made up of the previously mentioned products. Mostly, specialized equipment is used to clean the interior rooms and corridors. This is due to the fact that professional cleaning (if carried out regularly) takes a lot of time. But, unlike other considered cases, you cannot do without household goods and hand tools to clean the premises.

For cleaning territories

For the cleaning of territories, mainly specialized equipment such as sweeping machines is used.Hand tools in this case are used to clean a small area.

Professional chemistry

This group includes a variety of cleaning products designed for cleaning carpets, furniture, and so on. Professional chemicals are used to remove complex, simple and specific stains (from coffee, tea and others).

Other

To facilitate the cleaning of premises, apply:

• stepladders;
• step ladders;
• platform ladders.

If necessary, after cleaning, use means for polishing surfaces and applying wax. A separate group includes equipment for cleaning escalators and stairs.

How to choose a garden wheelbarrow: selection criteria

When choosing a garden wheelbarrow, you need to pay attention to important details and thus you can count on a good purchase.

Body volume

You can measure the volume of a garden wheelbarrow in cubes, but sellers usually indicate this parameter in liters. When choosing a suitable container, bulk materials are taken as a standard. Most often, there are models with a volume of 60 to 130 liters. Do not forget that not only soil or sand will be transported. The body can fit broken branches, tools and much more. Therefore, the capacity of the wheelbarrow is becoming a far from unambiguous parameter.

Body volume

Carrying capacity

The maximum permissible load weight is also a very important indicator. It is necessary to understand that the higher the carrying capacity, the harder it will be to work with it during movement and loading and unloading operations. If we talk about the optimal indicators of carrying capacity, then this is 60-120 kg.

Wheels

Comfort during the movement of the load depends on the parameters of the wheel.

The first thing to look out for is the diameter. The larger it is, the higher the level of depreciation.

Wheels with a diameter of 30 to 50 cm are considered large. Today, the most popular are models with pneumatic tires and a metal rim. There are also versions with tires without inner tubes. Buyers love them for their ease of repair, as in the case of tube tires, you have to remove the wheel and seal the hole. Wheelbarrows with bearing wheel axles will perform better even on uneven terrain.

Wheels

Dimensions (edit)

If you need maneuverability in confined spaces, then you should choose models with small dimensions. Here it is worthwhile to correctly determine the most suitable ratio of volume and size. In any case, cars with a large body will not be able to have small dimensions.

Hand grips

There are two main conditions here - the distance between the handles and the tips installed on them. There should be enough space between the two handles so that the worker can stand between them and not get stuck. Also, plastic and rubber attachments at the ends of the handles make the work much easier.

Body material

Wood

Choosing the right material for the cart is very important, as it will determine how long it will serve its owner. There are up to four types of materials on the market from which such garden tools are made:

• steel;
• wood;
• plastic;
• willow twigs.

The most popular option is steel. There is a choice of galvanized and painted trolleys. When it comes to durability and resistance to environmental changes, then painted steel will be better than galvanized steel. Powder paint is applied to the structure using electricity and thereby baked.

Plastic is more suitable for transporting leaves and branches, since heavy materials cannot be transported in such a container. The same can be said for wood material, which will need to be carefully monitored throughout the life of the wheelbarrow.

The most interesting option may be a design made of willow rods. In addition, it is considered durable and environmentally friendly. She weighs only 8 kg. Maximum lifting capacity approx. 40 kg.Wheelbarrows made of this material are used to transport seedlings, branches or leaves.

Frame

Frame

It is best to choose models made of seamless pipes.

It is also important that the frame has a bend to match the body, which will create an additional fulcrum for the body. In addition, it is better to choose a frame with corrosion-resistant steel.

Varieties

The main groups of sweeping equipment are divided into separate types with a description of additional functions. Devices are purchased to perform specific tasks.

Mechanical

The budget option, which is a device on wheels that needs to be pushed in front of you. Garbage collection takes place due to the work of the side rotating brushes. The brushes begin to rotate due to the start of the action of the side wheels.

The advantage of this type of technology lies in the absence of the need to use additional power supplies. Manual mechanical devices are completely environmentally friendly, safe for the people around.

Gasoline

The streets are being cleaned with the help of gasoline-based technology. They have high performance, withstand heavy loads and regular use. The thrust of an internal combustion engine provides a high performance indicator, but at the same time is a disadvantage of the device. During the operation of gasoline equipment, exhaust gases are emitted into the air.

Vacuum

The principle of operation of a vacuum machine is the basis for the operation of a conventional vacuum cleaner. The vacuum helps to quickly and easily remove layers of dust. Vacuum sweepers are purchased for cleaning large areas. They run on a turbo engine and show high performance results.

Rechargeable electric

Rechargeable devices are often purchased to clean indoor spaces. The peculiarity of working with battery machines lies in the control over the battery charge. Usually one charge is enough for a cleaning session lasting 3-4 hours.

Types of floor cleaning equipment.

First of all, let's divide two types of floor cleaning equipment: single-disk (less often double-disk) rotary machines and, in fact, floor cleaning machines. Their main difference is that in addition to directly cleaning the floor with a brush, floor cleaning machines also dry the surface by collecting the liquid with a special scraper connected to a vacuum turbine. With good quality of the scraper rubber bands, the floor after the passage of the scrubber remains dry and can be walked on immediately. Thus, another difference between scrubber driers and rotors is the presence of TWO tanks: for the cleaning solution (clean water) and for the dirty liquid. The rotors can, if desired, be completed with only ONE tank - for the detergent solution (special agent).
After rotary machines, all dirt and liquid must be collected with special vacuum cleaners. The use of rotary machines is advisable when it is necessary to polish the surface due to the high speed of the polishing wheel, or to wash out heavily soiled floors after repair work or during general cleaning. Also rotors are used to apply and grind various mastics on the surface, to crystallize marble floors.

So we have:

Now let's look at the actual floor cleaning machines.

When choosing a scrubber drier, first of all, you need to decide on its size and, preferably, type.

Criterias of choice

The choice between the categories is mainly dictated by the type of premises you need this equipment for cleaning.

Single-bucket cleaning trolleys are suitable for small spaces, such trolleys are compact and take up little space. The trolley can be equipped with special baskets for detergents and equipment, as well as bags for quick and convenient waste collection.There are two types of trolley frame: chrome steel frame and plastic frame. Chrome plated - adds strength, but the structure becomes heavier. Plastic trolleys are lightweight and great for cleaning small spaces such as offices, hallways of residential buildings.

Two-bucket carts differ from the first only in an additional bucket and increased dimensions. The presence of a second bucket allows you not to change the water for a long time. However, these trolleys, due to their dimensions, are already adapted to larger rooms.

Multifunctional cleaning trolleys are designed to perform absolutely any cleaning task and are used in almost any room, be it shopping malls, office buildings, hospitals, etc. The complete set of this inventory can be any, it all depends only on your goals. Any baskets, compartments, mop holders, additional buckets and shelves can be included as standard. Contact us and our experts will help you choose exactly the trolley that will make cleaning your premises as easy as possible.

Hotel carts - carts that are adapted specifically for cleaning rooms, they are convenient by the presence of special compartments for collecting linen and garbage, as well as special equipment for cleaning dust, washing the floor, etc.

Spin buckets are tools for quick and high-quality cleaning of the floor from dirt in small rooms, they are small in size.

Types of scrubber driers

By type, scrubber driers are usually divided into network and rechargeable (battery). Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages. Networked scrubber dryers are significantly cheaper than battery-powered ones, they are not limited in cleaning time, and usually have a higher suction power compared to battery-powered machines. The main disadvantage is the presence of an electric cable, which constantly gets tangled underfoot, strives to get under the brush, and does not allow the car to go far from the electrical outlet.

Cable scrubber

Battery scrubber dryers, on the other hand, are very mobile and maneuverable, they can be used in rooms where there is no electricity at all, large battery machines are often equipped with a wheel drive, which greatly facilitates the operator's work. The negative point is, of course, the high cost of storage batteries, the need for periodic charging, limited use of the machine for its intended purpose. The solution may be to purchase an additional set of batteries, but this is again money, and not quite small.

Cordless scrubber

Thus, if you have a small room with a sufficient number of electrical outlets, lack of human flow, not very crowded with furniture or other obstacles, or you plan to clean outside of working hours for other employees (for example, at night), then your choice is networked scrubber drier of small or medium size.
If you need to carry out constant maintenance cleaning (important for large shopping centers), you have rather large areas with an abundance of corners and nooks and crannies, and even cluttered with equipment, then you cannot do without a good battery-powered car.

Riders can be compact too

The dimensions of the scrubber driers.

The sizes of scrubber dryers can be very different. From very small machines for cleaning local dirt and stairs (and this includes machines without tanks and suction, but they are not rotors - we will not consider them in detail) to large self-propelled machines with an operator's seat, they are also called riders (from the English . Rider - rider) or raidons (from the English Ride-on - "ride on").

The most widespread are medium-sized walk-behind scrubber dryers. Due to their medium size, they are used in most enterprises, handling both small areas and large areas for which, for one reason or another, it is not possible to use a machine with an operator's seat.

Tanks for different scrubber dryers are from 4 liters for small ones to more than 200 liters for the largest riders. As you understand, it is simply unwise to buy a large self-propelled scrubber in a small office, and with a small scrubber with 10l water tanks, you will simply be tortured to wash the floors in a warehouse with an area of ​​more than 2000 square meters. Therefore, it would be most optimal to purchase a scrubber drier with a theoretical cleaning performance slightly less than the size of your area per hour. Those. if you have a shop with a total area of ​​1000 sq.m., then a machine with a capacity of 800 to 1000 sq.m / h is quite suitable for you. Considering that manufacturers indicate the theoretical cleaning performance, then in just one and a half to two hours your store will be washed with such a scrubber. But do not forget about the dimensions of the scrubber. If you have rather narrow aisles or you are going to transport a car from floor to floor in an elevator, then be sure to choose a narrow scrubber drier, since even riders can be narrow. It is not economically feasible to purchase a scrubber with a productivity per hour more than the area to be cleaned.
