THE REAL COST
Nilfisks’ drive towards ‘Save on Cost – Not on Clean’ is designed to educate the savvy contractor on just how easy it is to gain back labour costs that resulted from the increase to the national living wage.
The ‘Save on Cost – Not on Clean’ initiative focuses on reducing the total cost of cleaning machine ownership via a range of innovative solutions. Day in, day out, contractors face the toughest of challenges whilst expected to maintain or reduce overall budgets. Cleaning costs per square metre can be reduced by optimising water, power and detergent usage, ensuring a longer clean, less down time and higher productivity.
Simply put every second counts and every drop matters. Attention to each individual element has allowed Nilfisk to offer solutions that fulfil the brief - lower costs of ownership across the board. So how is it achieved? More details via the video which can be viewed here, but here are the main solutions.
ECOFLEX SYSTEM The Nilfisk Ecoflex system is effectively a chemical dosing system that lets the operator decide on the level of detergent, water and power needed to suit the task in hand. Cleaning with water only interests everyone from all aspects of safety, simplicity and cost but the reality is simply not achievable in all applications.
Heavily soiled floors need a chemical to be really clean. Industry research tells us that 37% of cleaning complaints involve a busy entrance way or lobby. If standards are to be maintained there will always be a need for chemical in such areas, but how can the machine regulate usage and ensure a good clean across the board? Here’s how:
• Turns detergent off in low traffic areas – does not get any greener than water!
• Ultra-low detergent mode – turns on low level detergent, increases down pressure & water flow.
• 60 second burst of power – increases water, chemical and down pressure for hard to clean areas.
• Full strength detergent mode for really dirty areas – safe maximum chemical strength.

The system only uses clean water in the solution tank meaning that the chemical is mixed at the scrub deck and not in the tank. This means no dumping of unused solution, lower environmental impact, less chemical, water and power used and no health and safety risk. Both contractors and clients are invited to calculate the exact cost savings with the online Ecoflex Calculator.
SMART FLOW TECHNOLOGY ‘Every drop matters’ sits firmly behind the development of Nilfisks’ Smart Flow Technology system that reduces water and detergent consumption relative to the speed of the machine. Productivity is taken to a new level with the automatic adjustment of the water/detergent solution flow. Using this control ensures a consistent cleaning result whist optimising water and chemical consumption on all models with or without the Ecoflex system.
Nilfisks’ SilenTech patented technology reduces sound levels across the range, allowing for daytime cleaning in noise sensitive areas. The move to daytime cleaning is well documented to improve standards and reduce costs.
INNOVATIVE DESIGN The ability to switch cleaning modes without stopping the machine is another time saver that significantly improves productivity. Cleaning functions have been designed with ease of use in mind, all functions being easily reached and changed on the dashboard by the operator.
Having to re-charge batteries during a cleaning shift seriously affects productivity and in some cases can mean that a second machine is required. Constant improvement in run time development has resulted in machines like the Nilfisk SC500 scrubber dryer running up to 5 hours on a single charge.
This has been achieved by innovative control of the brush motor. The machine constantly measures the amp consumption from the brush motor; if the consumption is less than nine amps the machine will automatically lower the power to the brush motor.
