Fimap presents the SustainableCleaningProject
Fimap, the Veneto company that is an international leader in the production of professional floor-cleaning machines, presents the Sustainable Cleaning Project - the innovative project aimed at reducing waste and creating a value in terms of ethics, coherency and sustainable development. Fimap has always shown itself to be sensitive to the question of respect towards man and the environment and now, thanks to the SustainableCleaningProject, it intends to revolutionise the “way of cleaning”, putting innovation at the basis of all its activities and embracing a policy of SAVINGS and SUSTAINABILITY. The machines designed and produced by Fimap are the result of an ability to satisfy the needs of its customers while respecting the economic restraints and reducing waste, consumption and costs to a minimum.
The primary aim of Fimap's SustainableCleaningProject is precisely a reduction of waste and the consequential increase in investment profitability in all the product-centred phases, from creation to use. The four action areas established by Fimap to develop this philosophy are:
• the activation of a path to obtain certifications from external authorities
• the development of innovative systems that guarantee a high level of savings during cleaning operations
• care and study in the design of the products
• the rationalisation of the range, via the optimisation of the production processes
• The process of quality and external certification
In the face of an ever more frequent request from the consumer for products that not only guarantee high technical performance levels but are also safe and represent a constant commitment to greater environmental sustainability, Fimap responds with important certifications that ensure quality, respect for the environment, and safety:
- ISO 9001:2000:Fimap has the capacity to pursue a policy of global quality, and therefore customer satisfaction, thanks to a series of ever more specific services;
- ISO 14001:2004: underlines that Fimap respects the environment, constantly studying solutions for constructing its products using recyclable materials, as laid out in the directive ROHS 2002/95/EC;
- OHSAS 18001:2007:Fimap makes an active commitment to protect the health of its employees and the guests who visit its plant, via specific procedures, investments and ongoing training.
In addition, FIMAP products are designed in accordance with the directive ROHS 2002/95/EC, which envisages the construction of products using recyclable materials and to European regulations standards: all electromagnetically compatible, in accordance with directive EN 50366 (for electromagnetic emissions from the machine at frequencies involving interaction with the human body) and directive EN 61000 (for machine immunity to electromagnetic fields in the residential sector, and for the level of emissions requested in the work environment).
• The development of innovative systems for savings during cleaning operations
Fimap's tangible response to the need for a reduced environmental impact is represented by the revolutionary systems designed, created and adopted for all scrubbing machines to guarantee a high level of savings - in both economic and environmental terms - during cleaning operations.
FSS, Fimap Solution Saver: the new measuring control system for water and detergent, conceived and designed to obtain the maximum cleaning result using the minimum quantity of liquid necessary: the system in fact allows you to control the exact quantity of liquid for the maximum cleaning result, thereby reducing the waste of water and the consumption of detergent by 50%.
FNC, Fimap Noise Canceling Technology, the system that drastically reduces noise emissions from the machines and, consequently, the level of noise pollution stress for the operator: thanks to the use of a special chamber with double insulation for housing the suction motors, the noise level is just 58db(A) - clearly well below the legal limit of 80db.
FES, Fimap Energy Saver, the system that knocks energy consumption levels down by 35%, thanks to the innovative design of the machine base, the smaller batteries (with their reduced disposal costs), and the Eco ON/OFF device that stops the brushes and water when the machine is idle.
The application of these innovative systems has allowed the company to present the market with economically advantageous machines with a high added value, that notably reduce cleaning costs and are the best expression of the SustainableCleaningProject - innovation and technology working for environmental sustainability.
• Product design
The company's internal design department focuses constantly on the creation of compact machines with an attractive appearance and optimum ergonomics, for greater autonomy and increased productivity. Fimap machines are distinguished by the easy, intuitive access to internal parts, guaranteeing easy, minimal maintenance.
The raw materials are chosen after careful analysis, with the primary aim of reducing the bulk and optimising the packaging and transportation, while continuing to ensure the maximum levels of comfort and performance. In addition, the materials used on Fimap machines are selected with an eye to their recyclability, to minimise the environmental impact.
• Range rationalisation
The SustainableCleaningProject has allowed Fimap to rationalise its product range and optimise the production processes. There are now two product lines to meet all requirements for differently sized areas: Easy Line, for cleaning surfaces of less than 1,000 sq.m., and Professional Line for surfaces greater than 1,000 sq.m.
By reducing the number of machine models produced, Fimap has been able to optimise its internal production processes, change the way of cleaning, and drastically reduce costs, while fully respecting the environment. The manual cleaning systems have been automated, resulting in cleaner, healthier environments with an eye on the safety and heath of the operators too.
Within Fimap, environmental sustainability has become the heart of the company philosophy and strategies: the SustainableCleaningProject has revolutionised the processes, changed the way of working, and is a real, tangible plus factor in the marketing of the machines thanks to the guarantee of tireless innovation and a higher added value for the products.
FIMAP is a Veneto company, a leader at both national and international level in the production of professional scrubbing machines. Enjoying continuous growth and development, it has knowingly anticipated the market trends, offering technological, innovative machines created to meet all cleaning and hygiene requirements. FIMAP is a stable firm that has made hygiene and cleaning - along with technology and quality - its own success-story, exported and recognised even abroad, where the company is one of the most important leaders in the production of professional cleaning machines. FIMAP is an innovative company that dedicates considerable resources to R&D. The headquarters, in Santa Maria di Zevio near Verona, covers an area of 23,000 sq.m.
