Nilfisk-Advance have a ’Green meets Clean’ philosophy, which has driven product development over recent years. Designing equipment which can clean to the same high standard, but use fewer resources has therefore been a huge challenge. Their goal has been simple, minimal impact on the environment; accomplish more with less - simultaneously reducing costs for customers whilst improving their environmental behaviour.
The Ecoflex system was born out of this ’Green meets Clean’ philosophy. The Ecoflex system
recognises that it is not necessary to sacrifice cleaning results for environmental issues; a cleaning solution should not be just green, but clean too.
The Ecoflex concept allows the operator of the machine to match the machines performance to the level of soiling and the amount of cleaning necessary to effect a good result.
All machines start in Ecoflex mode, which uses minimal amounts of water, chemical and power. On encountering a soiled area the operator activates a one minute burst of power for extra performance. The machine then moves automatically back into Ecoflex mode retaining the flexibility for more aggressive cleaning when required.
Design efficiency therefore continues to focus on sustainability. Development is based on 4 core elements; sustainability analysis, customer benefit, complexity reduction and cost reduction. This takes into account all aspects of design, assembly and product usage.
Every development project is assigned a target for each core element including material composition and recyclability. Products are therefore designed to both use recycled materials and to then be recycled at the end of their life.

leading technology with the launch of the first ever hybrid industrial combination machine the CS7000.
The CS7000 Scrubber Sweeper is available in three variants, LPG-HYBRID, Diesel-HYBRID and ePower battery. All units utilise state of the art electric drive technology and deliver a reduction of 30% less consumption, fuel costs and emission levels.
The electric HYBRID technology means that the engine drives a large alternator to generate electricity and a 36 volt battery pack provides energy storage. Another innovative feature is the elimination of large hydraulic reservoirs, filters and oil coolers as well as 98% of leak prone hydraulic hoses, pumps, motors and valves.
The hydraulic functions are replaced by intelligently controlled electric drives resulting in fewer components and decreased maintenance costs.
In comparison to hydraulic systems the HYBRID technology allows for smaller more compact equipment and lower fuel

consumption. Together with the option of the Nilfisk Ecoflex system the CS7000 range provides a formidable ecological solution efficient in industrial cleaning.
On the operational front-dedicated sweeping and scrubbing functions ensure that debris remains dry, without introducing scrub solution or water into the debris hopper. Optional extras include water heating up to 55 degrees and a 150 bar high- pressure washer function. Hot water alone is a powerful cleaner offering a substantial advantage to the operator in terms of both performance and speed.
