VACUUMS & SWEEPERS VAC TO THE FUTURE
New technology and design refinements are making the daily routine of vacuuming easier and more efficient, says Gordon McVean, International Sales and Marketing Director of Truvox International, introducing two new machines to its Valet line-up.
In most buildings, and especially those with large areas of carpet, the daily vacuum is the core component of the routine cleaning regime. But while the task may be ticked off without question, the equipment used for the job still merits consideration.
As in other perhaps more challenging aspects of cleaning, advances are being made in the technology used by vacuums. These can help cleaning teams complete their daily work more efficiently and reliably.
Our new addition to the Truvox International range of Valet Tub Vacs is the VTVe. This machine is built around the need of contractors – and facilities managers – for more efficient cleaning.
Launched at the Cleaning Show in March, the VTVe delivers great performance with an A energy rating.
Light and highly manoeuvrable, this compact tub vacuum has a small footprint and weighs just 6kg. So transporting the machine between cleaning jobs or parts of a building is easy.
It comes with 32mm-diameter toolset – so is compatible with standard consumables.
A cable wrap at the top of the machine, with the added protection of a hinged cover that clips in place, prevents tangling and keeps the cable out of harm’s way.
But any eventual replacement of a worn or damaged cord is straightforward, thanks to the VTVe’s easy-change cord system. The process – which is tool-less – is designed to obviate the need for any service engineer call-out charge. All that’s required is a coin to release the
retaining screws, before pulling out and then replacing the cord.
The machine is powered by an 800W motor, and has an 11.5 litre capacity for high productivity of some 230m² per hour.
Any advanced vacuum must also safeguard indoor air quality. The VTVe has three-stage filtration. A HEPA 13 filter and fleece bag captures all particles of 0.3 microns and larger. The bag also has a closing feature to prevent dust particles from escaping while it being replaced.
Both its crevice tool and dusting brush are stored conveniently at the back of the machine, while a wand holder facilitates tidy storage. Similar attention to detail has been paid in the design of the vacuum’s carry handle. It’s moulded to accommodate the VTVe’s wand, which sits atop the handle, so the machine can easily be carried in one hand.
Ideal for a wide range of premises – from schools and colleges to nursing homes and offices – the VTVe can also be equipped with optional accessories for detailed cleaning and hard-to-reach areas.
This tub vac has been designed to meet the 2017 eco regulations while also delivering reliably high performance. The VTVe is also simple to operate, as our training video demonstrates, walking your staff through the steps to effective and safe vacuuming of hard and soft flooring.
CORDLESS PIONEER In another technological leap for the humble vacuum, we’re proud that Tacony designers have achieved an industry first. The latest addition to our range of Valet Upright vacuums is cordless.
The award-winning Valet Battery Upright (VBU) was also launched at this year’s Cleaning Show, where it collected an accolade for innovation.
