Fimap presents its new EMx super-green scrubbing machine
The latest addition to the Fimap range of scrubbing machines is the compact EMx walk-behind model. Its mission is to become the most cost-effective and ecological choice in the small machine segment.
With a working width between 43 and 50 cm, and 3 types of brush head (disc, cylindrical or orbital), it satisfies almost every need of an extensive part of the professional cleaning market, covering various sectors. Demand in this field is met not only by the technical characteristics but above all by the configuration opportunities which guarantee effective, efficient work.
EMx aims to offer the best options, particularly in terms of eco-friendly equipment, so there are various solutions.
YOU CAN NOW CLEAN WITHOUT DETERGENTS, THANKS TO AQUÆ® TECHNOLOGY
The most revolutionary is undoubtedly AQUÆ® technology, for cleaning without chemical detergents. It transforms normal softened tap water into a cleaning and sanitising solution with a hypochlorous acid base. When activated by the electrolysis process, this base is able to oxidise the organic substances that make up the dirt, which therefore breaks up when it comes into contact with the solution. The mechanical action of the scrubbing machine then lifts the residue up and collects it. The floor is left clean and also sanitised by the antibacterial properties of the hypochlorous acid. With this technology, EMx can clean about 90% of the places it is intended for, without any need for chemical detergents. The environmental advantage is enormous, as is the economic one, and not forgetting greater safety given the absence of dangerous substances.
RECYCLED PLASTIC, CERTIFIED AS REMADE IN ITALY
The ecological focus continues with the recycled plastic tanks, certified as ReMade in Italy. The recycled material used is exclusive to Fimap, and guarantees the same durability and reliability as new plastics. This version of EMx is entirely black, bearing witness to its ecological nature: in fact as the material is recycled, the inside is covered with polymers of varying tones, so black is the only possible choice to ensure uniformity.
HEPA FILTER FOR CLEANER AIR
EMx can help keep the work areas even healthier thanks to the use of the Hepa filter. It removes particles up to 0.3 μm from the air taken in while the machine is working, so clean air is then delivered back into the room. When EMx is working, the air is healthier and safety is enhanced for both the operator and other people in the vicinity.
FFM TO KEEP INTERVENTIONS, RESOURCES AND CO2 EMISSIONS UNDER CONTROL
To perfect the control of the environmental impact, the winning key is to include the remote monitoring system FFM – Fimap Fleet Management. Apart from providing real time data about consumption and the working mode, so the supervisor can ensure there is no waste or incorrect use for the cleaning job in hand, it also records the CO2 emissions produced by each single model of the fleet. This information is vital for those wanting to reduce or even eliminate the negative impact of their work. It includes the new Mission Control Part Program which allows a weekly cleaning program to be sent directly to the machine, ensuring that every task is in line with the predefined goals and reducing the risk of human error when configuring the cleaning settings. To maintain high productivity levels, the job check is increasingly detailed thanks to the other new function, Indoor Tracking, that enables the machine to be tracked inside a building to know which areas it has already cleaned and which are yet to be done.
LITHIUM BATTERIES FOR INTELLIGENT ENERGY USE
For efficient energy management, EMx can be used with lithium batteries. Compared with traditional batteries, they require less energy when recharging but deliver more when in use. In addition, they have a much longer working life as they can sustain more than twice the number of recharging cycles. They don't need any maintenance, which means greater safety because there's no contact with dangerous liquids. With more efficient energy delivery, they remain usable for a longer stretch of time, and availability is increased too: since they benefit from opportunity charging, the operator can take advantage of those moments when the machine isn't being used, to partially recharge it and ensure it's ready for use for several jobs over a single day. This is a great benefit for a model the size of EMx, especially when used by cleaning contractors.
EMx is emblematic of the series of solutions and technologies that Fimap continues to develop to change the approach to professional cleaning, with the aim of making it more efficient and sustainable. With the latest innovations, it's showing that environmental advantages are advantages for customers too, as they can count on better task management to boost productivity and reduce costs.
