Floor Cleaning Application Spotlight: Abrasive Belt Manufacturer
At Factory Cleaning Equipment, we take pride in helping businesses select industrial floor cleaning equipment that will help reduce labor costs and solve the cleaning problems plaguing their floors in order to help create a cleaner, safer, and healthier environment. For over two decades, we have helped commercial and industrial businesses in a variety of industries select top American-made brand floor scrubbers and sweepers, as well as parts and detergents/chemicals. This ‘Application Spotlight’ highlights an abrasive belt manufacturer with extremely slippery and dirty floors from very fine debris that was challenging to remove.
Cleaning Problem
An abrasive belt manufacturer was concerned about properly cleaning their floors which were left covered in black carbon powder after cutting belts for sanders used in lumber yards. The fine carbon particles were extremely slippery and created a safety hazard for employees. The black powder also reduced the reflectivity of the floors and could easily be trekked into office areas or collected in air ducts or on top of inventory. This manufacturer needed a floor cleaning solution that would keep the machine shop safer and remove the black carbon residue.
Our Solution
The Factory Cleaning Equipment specialists recommended an industrial grade, self-propelled, FactoryCat floor scrubber to quickly remove fine particles and black carbon powder quickly and efficiently. This abrasive belt manufacturer selected a Factory Cat MiniMag featuring a “Drain Saver”—they are now able to clean their floors at a rate of up to 25,500 square feet per hour while reducing slip hazards, increasing the light reflectivity of their floors, and creating a more polished image inside the machine shop.
Highlights of the Factory Cat MiniMag
The Factory Cat MiniMag compact floor scrubber is designed to meet the demands of machine shops and busy fabrication plants. The stainless steel “Drain Saver” basket collects litter from recovery water, reducing the potential of discharge water clogging the floor drains. At 2”, the MiniMag’s recovery drain is also 80% larger than the 1.5” drains on other floor scrubbers, making the drain hose less likely to clog. Manufactured in the United States of America, the MiniMag is sturdy and built to withstand harsh environments. It has a powder coated steel frame for superior protection against corrosion, and offers more durability than softer metals or plastics.
