Nilfisk keeps sustainability and efficiency at the forefront of its product development, as demonstrated by the CS7020 Combination Sweeper/Scrubber dryer cleaning solution.
Nilfisk’s CS7020 is helping transform industrial cleaning with its string of innovative features designed for efficiency, productivity, sustainability, and safety.
Sustainability is at the forefront of every Nilfisk solution, and the CS7020 is no different.
“The common aspect of cleaning with a combination machine, scrubber, drier, sweeper – any machine like
that – is the use of water or chemicals to assist the cleaning process at the floor,” adds John.
“Anything that can be done to reduce water consumption and chemical consumption is important and many people within the warehouse and distribution areas are conscious of that.”
THE ECO FLEX SYSTEM
A feature of the CS7020 is its optional EcoflexTM System, which can be built into the machine to promote sustainability. This system allows users to adjust water flow and chemical usage based on cleaning needs and the nature of the site, reducing both water and detergent consumption.
“Clean with detergent or green with just water? We say both,” says John. “It enables users to select different cleaning intensities and conserve resources effectively.”
Additionally, the CS7020 is designed with user convenience in mind.
“Different facilities require different cleaning in different areas. By applying the right blend of brush pressure, water or detergent, the EcoflexTM system is the professional and green solution to any cleaning challenge” says John.
As a result, the machine solution enhances productivity by allowing for faster, more efficient single pass cleaning without compromising quality of clean.
“With the customisable CS7020, you can make adjustments to water levels and detergent usage on the go, making it a highly versatile and adaptable solution,” says John. “It’s also a very easy to use solution with a simple control panel. It’s mostly a one touch button operation, which means it’s very easy for any user to get on and to use those features as well.”
SMART FLOW TECHNOLOGY
Its Smart Flow technology further optimises cleaning efficiency by adjusting water and chemical flow based on the machine’s speed. This ensures that water or chemicals are not wasted, even during complex manoeuvres such as aisle end turns and busy site areas.
“Smart Flow controls the flow of water and chemicals needed for the scrub brushes, preventing issues like excess water down the end of an aisle,” says John.
“It helps reduce water usage, costs and improve overall efficiency.”
The CS7020’s capabilities extend to its performance metrics as well. The machine can clean up to 12,000 sqm per hour and even reach up to 50,000 sqm from a full battery charge, depending on settings and usage. It combines sweeping, scrubbing, and drying functions all in a single pass.
“The CS7020 is not only highly effective in sweeping but also excels in scrubbing and drying, making it a popular global choice among users,” adds John.
THE RISE OF LITHIUM- ION BATTERIES
In the realm of energy efficiency, lithium-ion batteries are becoming increasingly prevalent, which is what also drives the CS7020.
“We’re seeing a significant shift towards lithium-ion batteries due to their consistent performance, zero emissions and fast and opportune charging capabilities,” says John. “Previously, long-hour usage sites and operations required hybrid models with diesel or LPG, but now, lithium batteries are proving to be productive, convenient and an affordable solution.”
DIVERSE ENERGY SOURCES
John says Nilfisk has three main sources of energy for its solutions.
“In our case, our main three energy sources are batteries, and our lithium-ion batteries. The other two sources we have in some of our larger machines are what we call a hybrid model, a combination of battery/diesel or a battery/LPG,” says John.
“Demand for hybrid machines are shifting more and more to LithIon battery powered solutions. It’s changing quickly, and machine pricing is becoming more affordable.”
As logistics businesses continue to face competitive pressures and tighter margins, the CS7020 offers
a sustainable, efficient, and cost- effective cleaning solution. Its advanced features and user-friendly design make it a valuable asset for modern industrial cleaning needs.
INNOVATION IN INDUSTRIAL SITE VACUUM CLEANING
Nilfisk’s new Industrial battery powered vacuum cleaner – the VHB436 is adding to the suite of innovative cleaning solutions Nilfisk offers. This state-of-the-art vacuum
MHD WAREHOUSING cleaner, powered by lithium-ion batteries, addresses several key challenges in large facilities such as warehouses and distribution centres.
One of the primary advantages of the VHB43 is its ability to eliminate the need for long power cords out in the site aisles.
“In facilities like warehouses, you don’t want long mains powered cords laying all over the place,” says John Mahar, Commercial Product Manager-Pacific for Nilfisk.
“The VHB436 offers a cordless vacuum cleaning solution that allows for thorough cleaning even in hard- to-reach areas, like the back of aisles or underneath racks, where traditional power outlets are not available.”
The global demand for such solutions is on the rise rapidly, particularly in North America and Europe. The focus is not just on tidying up, but on ensuring that every corner of the facility is addressed and cleaned easily and effectively.
“Our smart customers won’t just leave that spill or dust and dirt in the corner or down the end of the aisle,” says John.
“They want to get it cleaned up fast, especially in critical areas like 3PL logistics sites where all visible areas should be spotless”
