22nd WFBSC Congress opens its doors The 22nd Congress of the World Federation of Building Service Contractors, that took place alongside CMS Berlin, has been attended by over 500 senior executives from the international cleaning industry. The main theme was 'Cleaning in a Digital World - Processes, People Technology'. Kärcher cleans around Berlin's Neptune Fountain to mark start of CMS Trade Fair 2017 In cooperation with the District Authority Berlin Mitte, Kärcher has this week - as part of its cultural sponsorship and to draw attention to CMS 2017 - cleaned the mosaic tiles arranged in a circle around the Neptune Fountain on Alexanderplatz in Berlin.
Three experts from the family-owned business based in Winnenden focused on the removal of trodden-in chewing gum - a particularly stubborn contamination. We've seen some fairly big steam cleaning machines in our time, but this one stopped us in our tracks! Built by Swiss firm Zaugg AG, the company usually makes snow clearing equipment for use on roads, railways and airfields. With Granuline a highly effective group of products based on granules has been created that, for the first time, can match the cleaning capabilities of liquid cleaning products. The speed with which the granules are dissolved in water has never previously been achieved by any other manufacturer.
The marketing of this cleaning product in the form of small, light sticks of powder results in enormous savings in the costs of transport, logistics and storage. The packaging units are already pre-measured, thereby avoiding mistakes or the application of excessive amounts, which also cuts costs and helps to protect the environment. World premiere for Hako's Scrubmaster B120 R Productive... manoeuvrable... ergonomic... Airports, railway and bus stations, shopping centres... Providing a large area performance, the highly manoeuvrable and flexible Scrubmaster B120 R can be relied upon to carry out all cleaning tasks efficiently in areas with high buildings. Available in four different working widths with disc or cylindrical brushes, a turning circle of only 179 cm and a small clearance width, the machine is perfectly equipped for every application. And thanks to its ergonomic design and smart features, the Scrubmaster facilitates particularly efficient and comfortable working. The i-Mop XXL combines the performance of a large machine with the manoeuvrability and flexibility of a floor wiper. This highly effective hybrid can be deployed anywhere.
With its light weight and compact format it can also be used in buildings without lifts or where storage space is limited. This easy-to-use implement does not require any special devices for filling or disposal either, a standard tap and drain are sufficient. The striking colours of the grey and lime-green Adlatus floor scrubber-drier caught our eye before we even knew that it was a robot! This machine actually looks like a scrubber-drier. With a scrubbing width of 700mm and 60kg continuously variable pressure with 200 rpm brush rotation velocity, the Adlatus CR 700 (to give it its full name) is impressive enough, the fact that it requires no-operator to push it along is exceptional, but the automated 'return to dock' capability makes it unique. Dustcheck acquired by Filtermist International Stoke-on-Trent-based dust removal expert, Dustcheck, has announced its acquisition by industrial air filtration specialist, Filtermist, of the Swedish Absolent Group. Established in 1978, Dustcheck manufactures industrial dust collectors and industrial air filtration systems, as well as offering aftersales services including LEV (local exhaust ventilation) testing. System ONe by Vermop is said to be the world's first intelligently-interconnected system solution for premises cleaning. In practical terms, what this means is that with the Vermop System ONe, cleaning managers always know exactly what is happening in the premises that they are responsible for. Ophardt: the untouchable - a Purus winner! Washroom dispenser manufacturer Ophardt introduced its maultifuntional touchless faucet 'the untouchable' which provides water, soap and disinfectant in one unit. The stainless steel body of the faucet prevents corrosion and surface bacteria and with up to 70% water savings, the untouchable is also ideal for use in clinics and washrooms where the refillable 1000ml bottles may be replenished with any appropriate low viscosity fluid. It's not a helicopter... it's a CleanCopter cleaning drone! No more abseiling down high buildings at risk to life and limb, or working at the limits of the telescopic cleaner, thanks to the cleaning drone from CleanCopter. It has been developed by Stephan Kallweit, a professor of robotics from Aachen, together with the building cleaning contractor Uwe Böhme.
