HOW THE MACHINE WORKS

Conventional Scrubbing:
Water and detergent from the solution tank flow to the
floor through a manually controlled solution valve. The
brush uses the detergent and water solution to scrub
the floor clean. As the machine moves forward, the
squeegee wipes the dirty solution from the floor into
the recovery tank.
Foam Scrubbing (FaST Model):
(FaST--Foam Scrubbing Technology)
Unlike conventional scrubbing, the FaST system
injects the patented FaST--PAK concentrate formula
with a small amount of water and air onto the floor.
The mixture creates a large volume of expanded wet
foam for the brush to scrub the floor clean. As the
machine moves forward, the foam collapses and the
squeegee wipes the dirty solution into the recovery
tank leaving the floor clean, dry and residue free.
FaST, the Safe Scrubbing Alternative
the National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI) for providing
high traction walk--way surfaces.
Using the foam scrubbing application (FaST) can
increase productivity by 30% by reducing the empty/fill
cycle. It will also reduce chemical usage and storage
space. One FaST--PAK can scrub up to 90,000 m
(1 million sq. ft.).
NOTE: The FaST model can also be operated as a
conventional scrubber. However, it's important that you
follow the instructions in this manual to prevent FaST
system failure.
