5. TECHNICAL INFORMATION

5.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

5.1.1 MACHINE

We can summarise the machine's main features as
follows:
- The form of the squeegee, the air flows and the
specially designed rubber blades produce excellent
drying results even on tiled floors. Thanks to the particular
balanced shape of the machine frame and the squeegee
support, no water residues are left behind in a curve,
and even when a smaller squeegee is used.
Excellent distribution of weights and dimensions thanks
also to the heavy weight of the brush plate and batteries
in the centre of the machine.
- A heavy weight on the brushes makes them work
efficiently on the floor. The pressure is generated by
the weight of the plate, without springs or additional
devices that lead to difficulties and inaccuracy. The
entire mass is generated by the hanging weight of a
15 mm steel ship's plate.
- A large volume of water in the tanks reduces dead
time since fewer trips are needed to collect water and
dump dirt. There is no delicate flexible diaphragm that,
at a technical level, is difficult to clean.
- The dirty water tank leaves several litres for decanting
any foam
- The traction system is designed for the machine
weights, making the machine responsive and easy to
handle.
- Robust construction. The frame and squegee are
made in extra thick plate and aluminium 6 mm, 8 mm,
10 mm up to 20 mm – are laser cut and welded. The
brush plate is made from 15 mm ship's sheet metal,
with a surface treatment that protects the plate and the
paint for thousands of hours in a saline fog. All screws
are made with stainless steel; the tanks (body) are
made with 7-8 mm thick shockproof polyethylene.
Everything is simple and very strong, without any other
complicated designs.
- The battery compartment can house very large
batteries, which guarantees extended running time.
- The suction motor is housed inside the machine, thus
reducing operating noise to a minimum. (PHOTO E-

- The recovery tank is very easy to clean due to the
lack of the characteristic difficult access points of
recovery tanks located in a lower position.

5.1.2 BATTERY

Regardless of the type of construction, battery
performances are indicated with the term capacity,
which always refers to a discharge period. Another
important value is the number of possible discharges.
The capacity is expressed in amps per hour (Ah), while
the discharge period is generally indicated as 20 hours
28
(C20 or 20h, or not expressly indicated) or 5 hours (C5
or 5h). The discharge/charge cycles indicate the number
of times that the battery can hold a charge under the
best conditions, i.e. they indicate the useful battery
service life complying with all the necessary measures.
Therefore, the capacity of a battery varies depending
on how fast it uses energy (current). That's why there's
such a variation in the capacity values expressed as
C5 or C20. These factors must be taken into account
when comparing products available on the market with
our own.
This machine can be equipped with two types of batteries
that differ in terms of their construction and features.
- Pb-Acid battery with tubular armoured modules: the
electrolyte level in each element must be periodically
checked!
If one element is no longer covered by the acid
solution it will oxidise in 24 hours, thus permanently
affecting that element's performance.
Refer to the battery manual to avoid physical damage
and economic loss.
- Gel module battery: this type of battery is maintenance
free and does not require special environments for
recharging (since it does not emit any harmful gases);
therefore, it is highly recommended.
It should not be taken for granted that batteries
and battery chargers with the same technical
features as those we offer will produce the same
results. Only perfect compatibility between these
elements (Pb-Acid batteries, gel batteries and battery
chargers) will safeguard the performances, the
service life, the safety and the economic value
invested.

5.1.3 BATTERY CHARGER

This type of high-frequency battery charger efficiently
charges batteries, extending their operating and service
life. In addition, because they can be configured it is a
very versatile solution that reduces the number of
chargers required in the warehouse. The same battery
charger can be used for both Pb-Acid batteries and for
gel batteries.
The information indicated on the digital display can be
used to always keep the charging process, the battery
and the battery charger under control (read the specific
manual for more details).
It should not be taken for granted that batteries
and battery chargers with the same technical
features as those we offer will produce the same
results. Only perfect compatibility between these
elements (Pb-Acid batteries, gel batteries and battery
chargers) will safeguard the performances, the
service life, the safety and the economic value
invested.
