Scrubbing AB InBev’s Nigerian brewery clean
July 10, 2019 | by digital@lkda.co.za
Goscor Cleaning Equipment (GCE) recently supplied – through its Nigerian dealer – two Tennant M20 combination sweeper/scrubber/driers to Sagamu Brewery of Nigeria, part of AB InBev.
In a deal that extends GCE’s reach into Africa, the leading cleaning equipment provider recently supplied two machines into Nigeria. GCE’s Nigerian dealer took delivery of the two machines in December 2018, which were later commissioned in February this year.
The two Tennant M20 combination sweeper/scrubber/driers are being used in the Sagamu Brewery warehouse to sweep and scrub floors. The machines have already proved their worth and George Jolly, sales export at GCE, who was part of the team that commissioned the machines in Nigeria, says the customer is very happy with their performance thus far.
“The Tennant M20 is a fully integrated scrubber/sweeper which can scrub or sweep a large area or simultaneously perform both functions. The M20 is ergonomically friendly for operators as the operating compartment is safe, comfortable and the unit is easy to operate,” explains Jolly.
The Tennant M20 can help reduce cost of ownership with optional innovative technologies that can clean harsh environments in a single pass. For example, system technology improves productivity by combining sweeping and scrubbing functions, reducing the need for multiple machines. The optional innovative ec-H2O technology reduces costs associated with chemical purchases and reduces water usage. The optional scrubbing side brush increases productivity by expanding the cleaning path up to 1 370 mm.
Several innovative features also provide health and safety benefits for operators, employees and customers. For example, the high-capacity, multi-level hydraulic rear hopper (110 litres), eliminates the need to manually handle debris. PerformanceView on the optional Pro-Panel allows operators to view their cleaning path without having to turn around the seat, promoting safe operation. The wet/dry synthetic fibre panel filter helps maintain air quality by delivering exceptional dust control during both wet and dry sweeping.
The machine also comes with innovative features for simplified operation and ease of maintenance. The Touch-n-Go control module featuring 1-Step start button reduces training needs by simplifying operation. Solution and recovery tanks allow for complete visible inspection and cleanout. The easy-to-identify yellow maintenance touch points and no-tool squeegee and brush access simplify maintenance.
