Keeping ferries scrubbed up and shipshape
February 1st 2009

The latest scrubber/dryer technology from Nilfisk-Advance is keeping vehicle decks clean on NorthLink's ferry fleet

NorthLink Ferries operates a daily service out of Aberdeen Harbour to the Orkney and Shetland Isles. Both its 125m vessels have the capacity to carry 600 passengers, plus vehicles and freight. Aberdeen-based Norsco Hygiene cleans vehicle decks when the ferries are in harbour using Nilfisk's heavy-duty BR 1100C scrubber/dryer with EDS (ECO Dosage Solution).The EDS chemical metering system ensures the correct amount of detergent is automatically dispensed for optimal cleaning results, plus a substantial saving in water and chemical consumption.

The Nilfisk- Advance BR 1100C purchased by NorthLink is a high productivity ride-on scrubber/dryer, which enables the cleaning team to deliver a high standard of cleanliness with a speedy turnaround."The ferries carry all types of cargo, including livestock, so we need to be able to tackle different daily cleaning demands with speed and efficiency," says Elaine Main, MD of Norsco."We find the new BR 1100C is much faster and more effective than pressure washing the decks or using a walk-behind scrubber/dryer." Suitable for cleaning large floor areas, the BR 1100C has a 1,000mm scrubbing width and can clean at a rate of up to 6,000m2 per hour. It has a cylindrical brush which operates at a speed of 900rpm and a disc version is also available.Designed with simple one touch controls, the BR 1100C can be up and running with the minimum of operator training.

NorthLink's BR 1100C scrubber/dryer is tailored to the needs of marine cleaning with a range of Nilfisk's optional accessories.These include a vacuum 'wand' kit for sucking up water that accumulates in fixing devices, and the machine is also fitted with overhead protection for optimum user safety.
