Getting into the Swingo

This battery powered ride-on machine offers powerful performance to clean the largest floors quickly and is said to offer a number of performance, productivity and sustainability benefits.

The scrubber drier’s working width of 105cm and cleaning speed of 7.5Km/h combine to promote productivity and help operators achieve significant time savings over other machines.

Up to 7895 sq m of floor can be cleaned every hour with more area covered during each pass of the machine. It can be used with accessories including the TASKI Twister pads so that operators can specify the appropriate solution for the application. The 200 litre capacity tank further promotes productivity because it reduces the number and frequency of filling stops.

The patented all-wheel steering makes the machine very agile with a tight 200cm turning circle and excellent manoeuvrability in congested areas. An extremely low noise level and an ECO mode with additional noise reduction help make the machine ideal for daytime cleaning in sound-sensitive areas. The ergonomic design with low operator access, an adjustable seat with high seatback and a new design of accelerator pedal promote safe operation and comfort.

The machine is designed for high quality cleaning and drying results. Its  patented W-shaped squeegee follows the floor profile and removes more than 99 per cent of water in curves, while turning and on difficult floors. Squeegee blades and a direct suction line allow pick-up of small debris without clogging. Excellent deflection of the 129cm-wide squeegee allows the machine to clean close to walls and around obstacles. The squeegee remains in contact with the floor at all times without any adjustment. The result is a clean and dry floor which can be walked on almost immediately. Keeping the floor clean and dry reduces the risk of slips.

The scrubber drier saves up to 50 per cent of cleaning solution compared to comparable conventional machines because of its patented TASKI IntelliFlow system. This automatically adjusts the amount of solution being used to match the machine’s speed. No puddles are left on the floor even when slowing down to turn corners. Further sustainability benefits and cost savings are made if the machine is equipped with the TASKI IntelliDose dilution control system. This utilises pouches of super concentrate product which the system accurately delivers direct to the pipes supplying water to the scrubber mechanism. The concentration of the product applied to the floor is always accurate and to the correct specification for superior cleaning performance with no wastage. There is no need to prepare solution before starting work, or to rinse the tank afterwards, which eliminates product wastage and saves time. Pouches containing different products for a range of applications and floor types can be swapped easily. These remain safely sealed when not mounted in the machine and can be reused whenever required. This promotes safety when handling, eliminates product wastage and improves productivity by eliminating time spent preparing solutions during or prior to work.

The use of advanced materials and long life components promotes machine uptime while minimising service and repair costs. The newly-designed squeegee and brush coupling/uncoupling simplifies machine preparation and maintenance. These components can also be removed without touching the brushes and pads which enhances operator safety, especially in applications where broken glass or other sharp items could be collected. Routine and daily tasks are simplified by a number of features also found on other TASKI machines. For example, all parts needing frequent maintenance checks, such as squeegee, brushes and filters, are coloured yellow for easy identification and simpler operator training, and can be removed without tools.

Operator convenience and productivity is enhanced with a Start/Stop function. This allows all machine settings including solution flow level, brush pressure and ECO mode to be stored at the push of a button at the end of a cleaning operation. These saved settings are automatically used when the machine is restarted so that cleaning can commence immediately.

The TASKI swingo 5000 is available with a number of battery options. Depending on battery choice and the type of application the machine can operate for up to six hours between recharges, enough for a full working day. An on-board charger incorporates a management system which monitors the charging process. During machine operations it also prevents deep discharge which could potentially damage the battery or limit its working life.
