Advance Adfinity™ X20R REV™ Automatic Floor Scrubber Receives Outstanding Feedback and Continued Support From Cornell University

Advance recently launched the breakthrough Adfinity™ X20R REV™ automatic floor scrubber at world-renowned Cornell University. Providing an exclusive opportunity to see its revolutionary, new floor scrubbing technology in action, Advance demonstrated the REV’s dual random scrubbing capabilities to an audience of industry professionals, including facility managers, maintenance staff and engineers.

The demonstration was hosted by Rob Osborn, Director of the Department of Building Care of Cornell University. Rob was initially contacted by long-time business partners, Jeff and Jane Jack of Vasco Brands Inc., a janitorial supplier for over 95 years in upstate New York and northern Pennsylvania. Vasco Brands Inc. has supplied Cornell University with janitorial and maintenance equipment for many years.

The Department of Building Care of Cornell University, consisting of approximately 385 housekeepers and custodians, is responsible for cleaning 10.5 million square feet of academic buildings, in addition to 3.5 million square feet of residential life buildings.

Home to one of the nation’s first colleges devoted to hotel administration, industrial and labor relations, and veterinary medicine, Cornell proved to be an ideal location for the REV demonstration, which is designed for education and healthcare markets.

Simple Operation, Flexible Performance

Advance’s rugged, low maintenance SC750™ and SC800™ walk-behind scrubbers with EcoFlex™ System deliver high productivity with each tankful. Allowing for 84 minutes of continuous scrubbing, these scrubbers reduce dump/refill cycles and deliver fast ROI to your facility.

Enhanced with Advance’s EcoFlex System, the SC750 and SC800 scrubbers provide a green cleaning performance. At the touch of a button, you can quickly switch from chemical free cleaning to using an ultra low dilution ratio. Not quite strong enough for the job? Switch to full-strength detergent for the ultimate, deep-cleaning performance. Using the burst of power feature, you can easily apply more pressure, more solution and more detergent, cleaning even the toughest of soils. With the flexibility to change pressure, solution and detergent levels, Advance’s SC750 and SC800 walk-behind scrubbers use less detergent, minimize water use and reduce cleaning costs.

Adfinity™ X20R REV™ Automatic Floor Scrubber Delivers Unprecedented Scrubbing Performance

The newest addition to the Advance Adfinity™ line of compact walk-behind scrubbers, the Adfinity X20R REV™ automatic floor scrubber, is designed to provide superior daily scrubbing performance and deep scrubbing for chemical-free finish removal in one efficient machine. Patent-pending Random Orbital Scrubbing technology positions Adfinity REV as the industry’s first automatic scrubber to clean floors with distinct, random orbital and rotational motions, using up to 70 percent less cleaning solution.

Random Orbital Scrubbing technology delivers dual-action scrubbing with a combination of high-speed ¼-inch orbital micro-scrubbing and 20-inch low-speed rotational macro-scrubbing. Attacking dirt and floor finish from multiple directions, REV leaves a smooth, swirl-free, scrubbed surface in a single pass. Better scrubbing performance, a more uniform result and opportunity for reduced water and chemical usage, the Adfinity REV delivers an ideal cleaning solution for facility floor maintenance.

To meet diverse hard floor cleaning requirements, the Adfinity REV provides versatile, dual-purpose scrubbing; allowing operators to daily scrub or deep scrub for finish removal with the following benefits:

• One pass, chemical-free deep scrubbing removes old floor finish using only water, resulting in a dry and prepared surface ready for refinishing.
• Uniform scrubbing results create a superior clean floor free of swirl marks.
• Low solution flow provides up to 105 minutes of continuous cleaning on a single tank of water to satisfy sizeable cleaning jobs.
• Quiet operation ensures machine performance is no louder than a person speaking, permitting easy daytime cleaning without disturbing facility occupants.
• NFSI Certification guarantees a dry, no-slip surface, maximizing operator and facility safety.

Maximize Productivity With a Cost-Efficient Cleaning Program

Studies show that labor represents 90% or more of the total cost of floor cleaning—meaning that workers are the largest share of the total cost to clean. What can you do to increase worker productivity, but still keeps cost low? The answer: employ a cost-efficient cleaning program. But what does that really mean? What makes a floor-cleaning machine “productive,” and how do you evaluate floor-cleaning machines for productivity?

Today's automated floor-cleaning equipment includes efficiency features that can lead to greater productivity, such as longer cleaning times between dump-and-fill cycles, faster ride-on and self-propelled equipment, wider cleaning paths, and the ability to perform multiple operations with one machine, to list just a few. Determining which floor-cleaning equipment will deliver the highest productivity per application and, in turn, decrease overall cleaning time and costs, requires careful consideration.

The following two posts will delve further into equipment features that contribute to cleaning productivity, and ultimately, decrease overall cleaning time and reduce the total cost to clean. Stay tuned!
