Cleaning Equipment on Campus
As an important place for students’ learning and growth, the environmental conditions of schools directly affect the physical and mental health of teachers and students, as well as the overall image of the school. The using of cleaning equipment such as floor scrubber machine and floor sweeping machine has brought revolutionary changes to campus cleaning work. These devices greatly improve cleaning efficiency, ensure a highly clean campus environment, and create a comfortable and healthy learning and working environment for teachers and students. This article mainly explores the application of cleaning equipment in schools.
School Cleaning Challenge
Large Area
Schools usually have a relatively large land area, covering with hundreds to thousands of acres. Moreover, the school will cover various functional areas including teaching buildings, libraries, administrative buildings, playgrounds, gardens, and other places.
In addition, there are significant differences in the flooring materials of different places. The teaching buildings are mostly made of ceramic tiles or wooden floors. The library may be carpeted, and the playground may have a plastic track or cement floor. Different floor materials have different requirements for cleaning. Using industrial cleaning equipment not only can solve complex floor cleaning, but also save costs and improve cleaning efficiency.
Large Number of People
The school is not only densely populated, but also has frequent daily activities for teachers and students. The frequency of activities in areas such as classrooms, corridors, and canteens is extremely high. So, frequent personnel movements make it easy for the ground to accumulate dust, stains, food residues, and other garbage. If not thoroughly cleaned, it can also increase the risk of bacterial transmission. In addition, traditional manual cleaning methods are difficult to complete such high-intensity cleaning tasks in a short period of time, which is resulting in delayed ground cleaning and affecting the cleanliness and hygiene of the campus environment.
Strict Hygiene Requirements
Schools have extremely strict requirements for hygiene and safety. Cleaning work should not only ensure that the ground is clean and tidy, but also pay attention to disinfection and sterilization. During the cleaning process, it is necessary to ensure the safety of teachers and students and avoid slipping accidents caused by slippery ground due to cleaning. For example, the cafeteria floor is prone to safety hazards if not cleaned properly due to the presence of food residues and oil stains. In this regard, using professional industrial cleaning equipment has great advantages, with a larger cleaning area, faster speed, and better efficiency features.
Cleaning Equipment Application in School
Floor Sweeping Machine
Industrial floor sweeping machines are mainly divided into ride on sweeper and walk behind sweeper machine. Both of them are different in application scenarios. In schools, ride on sweepers are mainly used to clean large areas, such as main roads, sidewalks, and playgrounds on campus. Taking LVTONG 1950S industrial ride on sweeper as an example, the maximum theoretical working efficiency of this driving vacuum cleaner is 14000 ㎡/h, and it can work continuously for 5-8 hours. Even schools over tens of thousands of square meters can be cleaned with a sweeping machine within 2-3 hours.
On the contrary, walk behind sweeping machines are used in relatively small areas such as campus squares. The campus square has a high flow of personnel and is prone to generating garbage. The hand push sweeping machine can clean the square floor in a timely manner before and after activities, and it is small in size and easy to use.
Floor Scrubber Machine
As the same as floor sweepers, floor scrubber machines are mainly divided into ride on floor scrubbers and walk behind floor scrubbers. Ride on floor scrubbers are mainly used in small areas such as canteens, corridors of teaching buildings, and stairs. The cafeteria is an area with a high concentration of school personnel and a lot of oil pollution, which is making it difficult to clean the ground. The walk behind floor scrubber has powerful functions of removing oil stains and absorbing water. It can quickly absorb oil stains while keeping the ground clean and dry. Secondly, the corridors and stairs of the teaching building are the main areas for students’ activities during break time, with a large flow of people and easily dirty floors. Walk behind floor scrubber can easily enter the corners of corridors and stairs for meticulous cleaning.
On the contrary, ride on floor scrubbers have stronger cleaning performance. Taking LVTONG V6 floor scrubber as an example, its main features include a maximum theoretical working efficiency of 3200 ㎡/h, a cleaning area exceeding 3200 square meters, a sewage tank capacity of 55L and a sustainable working time of 2-5 hours. Using a V6 floor scrubber not only prevents damage to the floor material, but also meets the cleaning efficiency requirements for high-frequency use in sports venues.
Benefit Analysis of Cleaning Equipment
Cost Effectiveness
Traditional manual cleaning requires a large number of cleaning personnel and has low work efficiency. After using industrial floor scrubbers and sweeping machines, the demand for manpower can be significantly reduced. Taking a school with a cleaning area of 50000 square meters as an example, if it relies entirely on manual cleaning, it would require 20-30 cleaning personnel. After using the cleaning equipment, only 5-8 operators are needed.
Environmental and Health Benefits
The application of floor sweepers and floor scrubbers can keep the campus environment clean and enhance the overall image of the school. In addition, the cleaning equipment also has deep cleaning and disinfection functions. This can effectively reduce the growth of bacteria and viruses, and lower the risk of infection for teachers and students.
Managing Benefits
Reasonable using floor sweepers and floor scrubbers can improve the management efficiency of cleaning work. After using floor scrubbers and sweepers, cleaning work has become more standardized and regulated. The operation of the equipment is relatively simple, which is making it easy to train new employees and reducing the difficulty of personnel management.
Conclusion
Traditional manual cleaning is difficult to meet the needs of modern schools. Cleaning equipment such as floor sweeper machine and floor scrubbers machine play a crucial role in various school settings due to their advantages of efficient cleaning and precise decontamination. Using cleaning equipment is an important measure to improve campus cleanliness and optimize resource allocation. It provides strong support for schools to create a comfortable and healthy environment.
