Street Cleaning/Graffiti Removal


Solving a sticky problem


Thoughtlessly discarded chewing gumis not only a nuisance to the general public, it is a huge headache to the authorities and FMcompanies who have to remove it from our pavements and roads. The British gov- ernment alone spends in excess of £150 million every year removing, on average, 7000 tons of discarded chewing gumfrom the UK’s streets. In this ongoing battle to keep our streets clean, OspreyDeepclean is pleased to introduce its latest,most inno- vative technology to themarket. In aworld first, the company has developed


the only battery operated, dry steambased, gumremovalmachine as part of its Gum- Busters brand. This revolutionarymachine is a self-motorised, one touch operation tool designed to operate in all conditions. It is cool to the touch, pleasing to the eye and, above all, easy and simple to use. It ismanufactured and built in Britain and


is claimed to be themost cost effective gumremoval tool on themarket today. It operates on a rechargeable 12v power cell meaning it is a completely weather resist- antmachine. It requires no outside fuel source, no cables and has a running cost of only £6 per hour, removing asmany as 600 pieces of discarded gumin that time. One full charge will provide up to eight hours


operation dependant on the operator and the surface being cleaned. Thanks to its fuel source it is exceptionally quiet during operation,meaning it can be used during the day, in peak times, in densely populated areas such as town centres, train stations, and airports without causing a disturbance. As an extra safety feature, the working


components of themachine are sealed in- side the GRP body which always remains cool to the touch, essential when using in populated areas. Dry steamvapour is envi- ronmentally friendly - one litre of water converts to approximately 1600 litres of dry steamvapour, and the detergent used with this unit is no different. Derived froma sugar surfactant, it is almost as environ- mentally friendly as the dry steamvapour itself. The specially designed injection sys- temperiodically adds the detergent to the dry steamwithin the vaporisation chamber, thus avoiding repetitive strain issues for the operator. The GumBusters range now offers the


technology to suit every environment. The GumBusters brand has always advocated the ‘see it clean, keep it clean’motto and, as the technology continues to develop, this is easier than ever to achieve. www.ospreydc.com

Streets ahead, and ready forwinter


During the chaos of autumn, it’s easy to let things slip. Blus- tery winds carry falling leaves and rubbish, littering paths and leaving carparks untidy. The solution? Vax Commercial’s VCS-01 floor sweeper helps you keep outdoor and warehouse areas litter-free. Collecting everything in its path fromdirt and leaves right up to drinks bottles, cans and food wrap- pers, the VCS-01 keeps your business looking professional with theminimumof fuss. Themotor-free designmeans


there’s no cable to get in your way. As it doesn’t need batter- ies or fuel, there are no running costs so you can clean large areas quickly without worrying about where to plug it in, or how long the batterymight last. The VCS-01 is easy to use, lightweight and easy to store, thanks


to the adjustable reclining handle. Pushing the sweeper forward spins the two sets of flare bristles inwards, agitating dirt and de- bris and sweeping it into the dirt bin. Cleaning right up to edges, the brushes collect rubbish quickly and the large 25 litre capacity means you can keep on cleaning without stopping to empty too often. Once it’s full, it can be emptied one-handed using the easy emptymechanism. It really is that simple.With no fuel required, the VCS-01 can


keep on sweeping as long as you do. www.vaxcommercial.co.uk
