Intelligent dosing and mops
April 1st 2006

Crisp Clean Services is exhibiting a new dosing system and antibacterial silver ion mop on stand 01.227.

The Solo dosing system consists of a dosing chamber attached to a solution container. The chamber can be adjusted in volume by moving a piston, allowing the amount of water or solution to be dispensed to be set anywhere between 100ml and 300ml. When a trigger is operated the dosing unit empties the specified volume of solution into a container. The mop is placed into the container, absorbs the solution and is ready for use. When the trigger is released the chamber refills and is then ready for the next mop.

Silver Mop adds silver ions to textile flat mops, minimising bacterial growth and helping to kill bacteria picked up by mops. Silver ions diffuse through a solution due to the mutual repulsion they have for each other caused by their ionic charge. There is a chemical attraction between the silver ion and the bacteria driving the two together and the silver ion and the enzyme in the bacteria cells then have a chemical reaction. The silver ions restrain the activity of the bacteria, preventing the bacteria from multiplying, and then destroy the bacteria.
