ADVANCE SC500 Walk Behind Scruibber
The Advance SC500 is a versatile and efficient walk-behind floor scrubber designed for a wide range of commercial applications. Engineered for productivity and ease of use, this machine aims to reduce the total cost of cleaning in various environments, including hospitals, schools, retail spaces, manufacturing facilities, and more.
Key Features and Performance:
The SC500 typically features a 20-inch cleaning path, available in both disc and REV (Random Orbital Vibration) or orbital scrubbing versions to suit different cleaning needs and floor types. It boasts 12-gallon solution and recovery tanks, minimizing downtime for refills and emptying. Brush speeds vary, with disc models generally operating around 155 RPM and REV/orbital versions offering significantly higher speeds (e.g., 2250 RPM) for more aggressive cleaning. Adjustable brush pressure (typically around 33/66 lbs for disc and 49/66 lbs for REV models) allows for customization based on soil levels.
Operational Efficiency and User-Friendliness:
Aimed at enhancing operational efficiency, the SC500 is equipped with features like the EcoFlex™ system, which allows for flexible detergent usage, including water-only cleaning, to optimize chemical consumption and sustainability. The SmartFlow™ technology intelligently adjusts the solution flow based on the machine's speed, ensuring consistent cleaning results and conserving water.
User experience is a key design consideration. The SC500 often includes intuitive controls, a multifunction display, and the SmartKey™ system, which can provide different levels of access for operators and supervisors. Ergonomic paddle controls and good sightlines contribute to comfortable operation. For noise-sensitive environments, a "Quiet Mode" significantly reduces operational sound levels (often to around 60-63 dBA), enabling daytime cleaning without disruption. Battery options, commonly including 130 Ah Wet or 140 Ah AGM batteries, provide substantial run times, typically between 3.5 to 5 hours on a single charge. An onboard charger adds to the convenience.
Maintenance and Durability:
The SC500 is designed for straightforward maintenance. Features like a tilt-back recovery tank provide easy access to batteries and the EcoFlex system. Components such as the debris catch cage are designed for easy cleaning, and squeegee blades can be inspected and replaced without hassle. Mechanical foot pedals simplify the raising and lowering of the 26.5-inch squeegee assembly.
Common Applications:
The Advance SC500 is well-suited for maintaining cleanliness in a diverse array of facilities, including:
* Healthcare institutions
* Educational facilities
* Office buildings
* Retail and grocery stores
* Sports arenas and athletic facilities
* Hospitality venues (restaurants, hotels)
* Manufacturing plants and warehouses
* Airports
The Advance SC500 walk-behind scrubber offers a robust cleaning solution that balances performance, efficiency, and user-friendliness, making it a popular choice for maintaining a wide variety of commercial floor surfaces.
