Industrial Harvest Café Reinvigorates Floors with Tennant Scrubber

Challenge

Industrial Harvest Café at Southridge Street Eastern Creek has been operating for 4 years, in that time there has been plenty of foot traffic through their doors due to the popularity of the local venue. The original floor laid was a sealed, polished concrete. Over time, buildup of soils caused discolouring of the high traffic sections. The current floor cleaning regime at this facility is mop and bucket with floor cleaning chemical at the end of each work day.

Solution

After conducting a technical site survey, the T600 Walk-Behind Scrubber fitted with an orbital scrubbing head was selected for two reasons: 

1. Tennant orbital heads use agitation rather than spinning motion as with disc or cylindrical heads and are better suited for certain floor types. Orbital pads are abrasive and help break down stubborn soils that cause floor surface discoloration. 

2. Down pressure –Tennant’s range of walk behind scrubbers provide some of the highest down pressures in the market and are built for reliability and durability. The standard down pressure settings start at 77kg. 

To assist the cleaning and because of the buildup of dirt and grime a food safe degreaser was applied by putting the chemical directly into the solution tank. By applying the chemical through the solution tank it is then distributed evenly into the scrub head and onto the floor at a consistent rate.
