The Tennant T2 walk-behind scrubber-dryer from Goscor Cleaning Equipment (GCE) keeps Midwater Super Spar’s shop floor spotless to ensure customers of a pleasant, clean and safe shopping experience.
Holistic cleaning solutions specialist, GCE, part of the Goscor Group of Companies, is one of South Africa’s leading suppliers of a wide range of quality world-class brands to suit almost every cleaning application in commercial, industrial as well as retail environments.
The unsurpassed water recovery of the Tennant T2 walk-behind scrubber-dryer from GCE leaves floors dry virtually immediately allowing for the safe passing of foot traffic; also ideal for small spaces.
Super Spar Midwater in Middelburg purchased their first Tennant 2 walk-behind machine from GCE three years ago to clean the 2 000 sqm shop floor. “As we are a food store, hygiene and safety are critical factors and it is of the utmost importance that we keep our tile floor spotless by removing general day-to-day dirt created by customer traffic as well as cleaning up spillages,” comments Daniel Patricio, owner of Super Spar Midwater. “We use the scrubber-dryer before the shop opens and if necessary, again after shop closure.”
“The T2 is expected to perform its cleaning duties almost every day of the year and we have been very happy with the machine’s performance and reliability. So when it came to replacing the compact cleaner in 2015, we decided to replace it with the same machine, just the latest model,” explains Patricio. “Our motto is ‘if it’s not broken, don’t fix it’ and the Tennant T2 gave us good reliable service every day so the decision was a no-brainer.”
The T2 is all about increased operation efficiency; alongside efficiently cleaning and drying small congested areas in one pass, the Tennant T series’ durability delivers maximum machine uptime. With a 23 kg down pressure and 230 rpm agitation, all delivered through a powerful 0.75 kw brush motor, this scrubber-dryer provides the highest level of cleanliness. In addition, the machine’s unsurpassed water recovery leaves the floor dry virtually immediately, allowing for the safe passing of foot traffic.
The T2 is engineered for environmental safety and presents the perfect cleaning solution for food and beverage retail areas by delivering optimum indoor environment quality; the T2’s easy to clean hygienic recovery tank and debris tray reduces unwanted scrubber tank mould and bacteria. The machine’s maintenance free battery operation emits lower emissions for improved air quality.
The user friendly and safe design of the T2 makes the machine extremely easy to operate, reducing operator fatigue for increased productivity. According to Patricio, following initial operator training, only refresher operator courses are needed from time to time.
Patricio reports that the new T2 has seamlessly taken over the job from its forerunner and continues to deliver reliable performance. In conclusion Patricio confirms that they can always count on GCE’s service team when machine maintenance is required.
