Preventive Maintenance Program

A well-structured preventive maintenance program is essential to ensure the longevity and efficiency of your cleaning machines. Surprisingly, many of the necessary maintenance tasks are simple and can be carried out by operators with ease. This means that, with a minimum of attention and care, the lifespan of a high-quality machine can be extended almost indefinitely.

Floor Sweeper Maintenance

Maintaining floor sweepers is a key element in ensuring effective cleaning and extending the machine’s lifespan. Thanks to the user-friendly design of the models we offer, all the following maintenance tasks can be easily performed without the use of special tools:
  • Brush Replacement: Brushes are fundamental for effective cleaning and should be replaced when they show signs of wear.
  • Cleaning and Replacing Filters: Filters play a crucial role in keeping the air clean during cleaning operations. They should be cleaned regularly and replaced when necessary.
  • Replacing Rubber Seals: These seals help contain dust and should be replaced if they are damaged or worn out.
  • Checking Battery Fluid Level: In electric models, it’s important to regularly check the battery fluid level and top up if needed.
This maintenance approach ensures efficient operation and a long machine lifespan.

Floor Scrubber Maintenance

Maintaining floor scrubbers is essential to ensure effective floor cleaning and a long machine lifespan. Thanks to the user-friendly design of the models we offer, all the following maintenance tasks can be easily performed without the use of special tools:
  • Brush Change: Brushes should be changed when they show signs of wear.
  • Tank Cleaning: Tanks for water and detergent should be washed regularly to prevent residue buildup.
  • Squeegee Flip and Replacement: The squeegee is essential for drying the floor and should be flipped or replaced when necessary.
  • Filter Cleaning or Replacement: Filters should be checked and, if necessary, cleaned or replaced to ensure optimal operation.
  • Seal Replacement: Seals that secure the tanks and other parts of the machine should be checked and replaced if they are damaged.
  • Checking Battery Fluid Level: In electric models, it’s crucial to check the battery fluid level and top up if needed.
This maintenance approach ensures efficient operation and a long machine lifespan.

Operator Training

An often-underestimated aspect in managing cleaning machines is operator training. Our company places great emphasis on this element, providing comprehensive training service for all operators. A well-trained operator not only uses the machine more efficiently but also reduces the risk of accidental damage to the equipment.

Training empowers the operator to be autonomous in routine maintenance tasks, such as replacing brushes or cleaning filters. This not only optimizes work time but also contributes to extending the machine’s lifespan, ensuring a faster and more lasting return on investment.
