Superior killing power
October 1st 2004 Since the launch of the Arpax System in 2001, R.P Adam has sited almost 9000 Arpax dispensers both in the UK, Ireland, Turkey and the Middle East. Indeed in Dubai, Arpal Gulf was recently asked to fit 100 bottle fill dispensers into one of the newest and most prestigious hotel projects in the Emirates. In the UK the main focus is on the care home, hotel, catering and pubs sectors. Max Adam, sales & marketing director says, We have found that small users in the retail catering or pubs sectors have found Arpax and the concentrates a welcome alternative to the expensive ready to use products available on the market. R.P Adam has sited their catering and housekeeping Arpax system in over 400 outlets within this sector in the last 3 months.
R.P Adam recently put its catering degreaser sanitiser (Arpax A7) through an extensive set of scientific tests to show the efficacy of the product against several bacterial strains. We were very happy with the results and achieving the BS EN 1276 accreditation. In hard water conditions, and at a 25:1 dilution, we managed to get a 5-log reduction on Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as well as the standard reference strains like E-Coli and Staphylococcus. As it is fundamentally used as a surface degreaser, users know they are getting superior disinfection killing power, while achieving superb cleaning results.
We anticipate launching three new Arpax concentrates over the coming months, namely a pure disinfectant for food premises, a new air freshener, and a new building services hard surface cleaner for hard
water areas. The family of Arpax concentrates will continue to grow as long as the demand is there.
The critical thing to remember with these kinds of concentrates, is to make sure you have done your market research of the prospective client. We have had instances where people can not believe that you can get so many ready to use bottles from a 2lt container, and find, by hook or by crook a way to double dose this is especially with washing up liquids.
I always believed when Arpax hit the market, there would be a huge uplift in sales. It has happened, but we have realised that certain businesses just can not get their heads round the idea of concentrates and controlled dosing. This is why we have to offer a pick list, whether it be bulk fill, ready to use or the super concentrates.
All we do know, is that where people are ready to move into the 21st
century, and want to achieve total control of their cleaning budgets the
Arpax dispenser and the concentrates, will save a minimum of 40% over
commonly available ready to use products. More articles from R P Adam Ltd.: |
