Fimap's new GMG scrubbing machine makes its world première at Interclean
Fimap opened the first day of the Interclean Amsterdam 2022 trade fair with the world première of its latest product, the GMG scrubbing machine. Live, at the stand, and on social channels, GMG was the star of the four-day event, garnering constant praise for its innovative features. Its imposing appearance is immediately striking, being a machine intended for very large spaces. However, the closer you get to it and discover the details, the more your admiration for its exceptional design content increases.
LET'S DISCOVER GMG
GMG has been created to offer a fast and powerful solution to halve cleaning times in large environments: industrial structures, warehouses, logistics centres, car parks, stations and airports. Given that the bigger the space, the more the time factor affects productivity, speed of cleaning was the first imperative: GMG scrubs and dries floors at 9 km/h, a record speed that no other machine can currently offer, which increases productivity by 30%. Power, on the other hand, is the ingredient that makes GMG unstoppable even considering the characteristics and complexities of the environments for which it is intended. It can operate continuously for 10 hours on a single charge of the lithium batteries. It cleans ramps with gradients of up to 20% at full load, and with brushless motors the power output is fully exploited, because there is no dispersion. Not even the type of dirt can hinder GMG, with the possibility of increasing the pressure on the brushes to 250 kg. In addition, GMG is the only scrubbing machine to have a suction system on the side brush, which makes it effective not only along the edges but further extends the cleaning track, thereby increasing productivity. Despite its size, it is remarkably agile, thanks to the rear-wheel drive on two independent motors, which enables it to manoeuvre smoothly even in very tight spaces, as in the case of reversing, which it achieves with a single movement in just 2.5 m.
DIGITAL ASSISTANCE TO INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY
Along with these features are time-saving ones, providing the users with everything they may need on board. The machine comes with accessories such as the vacuum wand, which harnesses the power of the dual three-stage suction motor to collect dirt deposited in hidden corners, and the spray gun, useful for rinsing tanks when there is no tap nearby. The Plus version's display is a real assistant throughout the operation. It suggests the correct parameters to the operator thanks to its 9 pre-set cleaning programs, which avoid wasting time and uncertainty and ensure that the desired result is always achieved. It provides constant training through video tutorials, which can be watched as necessary to clarify the tasks to be performed on the machine, and also allows users to consult the user and maintenance manuals, available in 24 languages.
ADVANCED SAFETY SYSTEMS FOR TOTAL PROTECTION
Given the types of environment for which it is intended, the widest possible range of safety equipment has been developed for GMG to prevent any inconvenience, and protect the operator, the operating environment and the machine itself. The sturdy body encloses the machine, protecting it and extending its life. The driver's station accommodates the operator in a comfortable and safe seat where the instrumentation is arranged for ergonomics, intuitiveness and to avoid distractions. In addition to the anti-collision sensors and rear camera, the Blue Safety Spotlight can be installed, offering a truly effective safety package, especially when working within environments where both fixed and moving obstacles can be encountered. When cleaning a warehouse or logistics centre, racking or other equipment may obstruct visibility. The Blue Safety Spotlight projects a blue light that warns of GMG's presence, thus preventing accidents. It allows the work to be carried out safely without disrupting the routine of the facility being cleaned.
CHANGING PROFESSIONAL CLEANING WITH NEW TECHNOLOGIES
Today's technology offers the chance to approach a cleaning project in a new, more conscious way, through data collection, optimising cleaning and its management. Having access to real data is the key to making operations more efficient, allowing you to identify points for improvement based on objective results and not rough assessments. With GMG, accuracy has reached a new level. The FFM - Fimap Fleet Management system collects and transmits the information to the My.Machine app. What's new is indoor tracking, which allows you to know within buildings which areas have already been cleaned and which still need doing to complete the service, providing an even more precise overview. Completing the picture is GMG's onboard computer, whose display shows the state of the batteries, reporting usage times, the m2 cleaned and litres of water used, energy consumption and the remaining battery and tank capacity. Also, it offers an estimate of how many resources could be saved by switching to the Eco Mode programme, which favours a more sustainable cleaning style when conditions allow.
THE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE HAS BECOME SCIENTIFIC EVEN FOR CLEANING SERVICES
Focus on environmental aspects has run through the entire GMG project, aiming to inspire choices that take into account the consequences they have on the environment. Companies can monitor the CO2 produced both via the My.Machine app and the onboard computer. There are technologies, dosing systems and cleaning programmes to contain and make more responsible use of resources, and a recycling system that recovers and filters the cleaning solution to make it available again. Fimap thus puts tools in the hands of companies to revolutionise cleaning services with actions that increase efficiency and sustainability.
With these features, GMG is the de facto answer in the Performance scrubbing machine range for larger and more structured environments, offering the features that distinguish this line of machines and new features specifically designed for its intended sectors and innovations resulting from technology that Fimap is always working to perfect.
