No power? No problem
August 1st 2006 Battery Burnishers from Truvox make short work of high rise blocks for Wolverhampton City Council overcoming the lack of power points in corridors and halving man hours Wolverhampton City Council recently ordered nine Truvox Orbis Battery Burnishers to bring high performance machine cleaning to floors in the public areas of a number of high rise residential buildings.
The design of these flats presented a challenge to the Council's cleaning teams as there was no electric supply in any of the corridors to power traditional floor cleaning machines. Rather than resort to the potentially less professional technique of using mop and buckets, from the ever expanding choice of battery powered floor cleaning machines currently available, Wolverhampton City Council choose the superior quality of the Orbis Battery Burnisher to meet the demands of the high-rise buildings.
Key features in the Council's choice were that the Truvox machines run on a high performance maintenance-free battery which provides over two hours cleaning time while the lack of a trailing cord keeps hallways safer for residents and visitors as they come and go.
Buildings of this design open up a new market for battery operated cleaning equipment and as the Council's cleaning team in Wolverhampton have already found out, the Orbis Battery Burnisher is the perfect solution for their floor cleaning needs. With the added benefit of whisper quiet use, the Orbis Battery Burnisher can be used at any time of day without risk of disturbance.
Margaret Twigger of Wolverhampton City Council said the machines have been extremely helpful in cleaning the residential buildings: "With these buildings we needed a new type of machine. We purchase most of our floor cleaning equipment from Truvox and when we explained the situation with the buildings, the Orbis Battery Burnisher was recommended. We are now getting better results in less than half the time, as this cleaning was previously done manually."
Bob Orrock, Truvox's sales manager for the Midlands region, who sold the machines to Wolverhampton City Council, said it is the ease of use, manoeuvrability and performance which users have come to regard as being the Orbis Battery Burnisher's greatest assets.
With battery operated machines now gaining popularity generally, Truvox claims take up of the Orbis Battery Burnisher has been particularly strong in the public sector. As well as Wolverhampton City Council other local authorities, including Glasgow City Council and Tayside Regional Council, are using the Orbis Battery Burnisher to clean floors in leisure centres, schools, community centres, and municipal buildings.
