Warehouse and depot cleaning is definitely where it gets tough. Cleaning contractors must manage cleaning around stock that is often fast moving. In some cases the facility is operational 24/7 and cleaning must never interfere with warehouse operations.
Cleaning methods are generally dictated by the nature of the goods being stored. Food storage facilities will naturally have higher hygiene standards whilst cold store and chiller facilities present unique challenges.
Many different floor types, soil levels, racking systems and shift patterns add to the complexity. An experienced contractor will select cleaning equipment wisely and look to reduce both the numbers of machines and overall running costs.
The first Hybrid Sweeper – Scrubber
A combination sweeper-scrubber from Nilfisk has been acclaimed for its ecological credentials in the warehouse sector. The CS7000 is available in three models: The LPG-Hybrid and ePower Battery versions are designed for indoor use whilst the Diesel-Hybrid engine driven machine is perfect for outdoors. All models have been designed to reduce the cost of operation, labour and maintenance, whilst effectively increasing fuel economy and runtime efficiency. New productivity standards have been set at 7756 actual square metres per hour.
A unique feature of the CS7000 is a revolutionary hot water scrubbing facility which provides for excellent cleaning performance. Water is heated up to 55 degrees and can be used with or without concentrated chemical as required.
The CS7000 utilises state of the art electric drive technology enabling reduced emissions with the LPG and Diesel models and emission free indoor operation with the E Power technology on the battery models. The electric Hybrid technology means that the engine drives a large alternator to generate electricity and a 36 volt battery pack provides energy storage. This Hybrid system provides for a fuel saving of up to 30%.

Hybrid Technology versus Hydraulic Systems
Another innovative feature of the CS7000 is the elimination of large hydraulic reservoirs, filters and oil coolers as well as 98% of leak prone hydraulic hoses, pumps, motors and valves. The hydraulic functions are replaced by intelligently controlled electric drives resulting in fewer components and decreased maintenance costs.
In comparison to hydraulic systems the hybrid technology allows for smaller more compact equipment and lower fuel consumption providing for a saving of up to 30%.
