PRODUCTS & SERVICES MAKITA ENTER
THE MARKET Makita, Britain’s number one professional power tool manufacturer, is making inroads into the commercial cleaning industry with two new vacuum cleaning machines, which join the extensive range of mains and cordless dust extraction units, cordless vacuum cleaners and air blowers suitable for a wide range of industries from construction to grounds care and property maintenance.
Makita’s extensive knowledge of air flow and vacuum science, coupled with the proven Lithium-Ion battery platform, is integral in the new twin 18V Backpack vacuum cleaner and the new 18V Robotic Vacuum Cleaning machine. The technical merits of both cleaners can enhance the performance and productivity of contract cleaning operations in many commercial properties. Both machines are supplied in body only form for operators to use the batteries from their existing Makita tools. Distributors can supply 3Ah, 4Ah or 5Ah Makita batteries with respectively 22, 36 and 45 minute rapid recharging time.
The new Makita DVC260Z backpack vacuum cleaner uses two 18V Li- Ion batteries, directly housed on the machine, to power the 36V DC Brushless motor, which produces 45 watts of suction power with a maximum airflow of 1.5m³/min and maximum sealed suction of 7.1kPa. The HEPA filter can be easily removed for cleaning. The high/low power selection is positioned on the machine control unit and two 5.0Ah batteries give 60 minutes run time in high mode, and 90 minutes in low mode. Dust bag capacity is a useful 2.0 litres. Weighing just 4.3kg, and supplied with a full brace harness with waist and shoulder belts for ease and comfort, this quiet-running backpack vacuum has a lightweight 28mm suction hose, telescopic straight pipe with 500- 850mm length adjustment, and flexible rubber nozzle ideal for cleaning uneven surfaces. The new Makita DVC260Z is being trialled by train operators and airlines to speed passenger turnaround.

and museums, a robotic vacuum that can go to work when pedestrian traffic has ceased, which reduces the need for human activities, can enable labour to be more effectively deployed in other more sensitive areas. The new Makita DRC200Z 18V Robotic vacuum will run for three hours and twenty minutes at a maximum speed of 0.3m/s, and cover up to 500m² in either a random pattern, or a fixed area marked out with boundary tape on the floor, which effectively limits the vacuum’s area of operation. The main power brush and twin side brushes give a greater sweeping area than other brands and this Makita machine has a giant 2.5 litre dust collection box. It can operate in vacuum and brush mode or brush-only for larger debris.
Ultrasonic detectors and bumper sensors stop the machine on close contact and then send the robotic vacuum in a different direction. A buzzer and blinking light on the machine warns nearby workers of the vacuum’s approach, while an LED indicates when filter cleaning is required and a cliff sensor stops it falling down stairs. A wireless remote controller can be used and it can be set to start after one, three or five hours, enabling visitors or staff to be out of the building when robotic cleaning commences.
