June 18, 2010—Tennant Company recently introduced two affordable, reliable commercial vacuums to the North America market. The company says they are ideal for hospitality, healthcare and office facilities. Tennant also recently launched two new walk-behind floor scrubbers designed to more quickly and efficiently clean a broader range of floor surfaces.
The V-SMU-14 single motor upright vacuum offers durability, reliability and productivity, while substantially reducing service costs by eliminating common components that cause vacuums to fail, says Tennant. The V-SMU-14 is LEED-qualifying with CRI SOA Silver Performance and noise levels of less than 70 dBA, and improves indoor air quality by using a standard HEPA 3-stage filtration.
The V-BP-6 backpack vacuum maximizes operator comfort with an ergonomic harness design that distributes weight to the operator’s hips rather than back, notes the company. The V-BP-6 is LEED-qualifying with CRI SOA Bronze Performance and noise levels of less than 70 dBA, and improves indoor air quality with standard HEPA 4-stage filtration.
The Tennant T3+ walk-behind scrubber and the Nobles Speed Scrub XC walk-behind scrubber are designed to more quickly and efficiently clean a broader range of floor surfaces. These high-quality floor scrubbers are equipped with a 24-inch/600 mm scrub head to provide a 20 percent wider cleaning path than current models. The small, highly maneuverable body allows the T3+ and Speed Scrub XC to clean in all the same spaces as traditional 20-inch/500 mm scrubbers. The combination of a larger scrub head and advanced technologies reportedly maximizes scrub time and increases productivity.
Both scrubbers offer the choice of two sustainable technologies: Tennant’s breakthrough ec-H2O technology or Tennant FaST (Foam-activated Scrubbing Technology). The ec-H2O technology converts plain tap water into a powerful cleaning agent without any added chemicals, providing chemical cost savings and a faster return-on-investment, says Tennant. It also uses 70 percent less water than traditional cleaning methods, increasing scrub time per tank. FaST uses 70 percent less water and requires 90 percent less detergent than traditional cleaners while removing old detergent residues to help reduce the risk of slip and fall accidents.
