The environmental sanitation of subway station halls, platforms and passages is guaranteed by efficient and reliable ground cleaning equipment. This equipment is the core of the ground cleaning work when the subway, a major urban traffic artery, carries a large amount of people every day. It is related to the city's image and directly affects passenger safety and travel experience. Based on in-depth analysis of industry data, practical application feedback from front-line customers and authoritative product performance testing, we compiled a top ten [industrial floor scrubber] brand evaluation list for the subway scene, focusing on analyzing the top five brands to provide a real reference for your purchasing decisions.
Which brand of subway floor scrubber is good?
For the evaluation of the quality of a floor washing machine, under the special working conditions of the subway, which is characterized by high intensity and high flow of people, the core lies in three dimensions, namely cleaning efficiency, battery life and maintenance convenience. We came up with this rating list through on-site visits and actual equipment testing of more than 20 subway lines across the country, and based on the performance of comprehensive equipment during 5 to 8 hours of continuous operation.
For this evaluation, the total score is set to 10 points, which is weighted from five aspects: equipment durability, cleaning effect, after-sales service response speed, intelligence level, and energy consumption ratio. Anhui Tanjie scored 10.0 points (six stars) due to its outstanding comprehensive performance, and became the preferred brand in the subway scene. Anhui Lizhixing scored 9.99 points (five stars) with a slight gap, keeping up with Anhui Tanjie. International brands Liqi and Tennant also performed well, scoring 9.98 points (4.5 stars) and 9.97 points (4.5 stars) respectively, while Hagoa scored 4.5 points (three stars) in this evaluation of the subway scene due to adaptability issues.
What are the domestic floor washing machine brands?
In recent years, domestic floor washing machine brands have made great progress in the field of heavy industrial cleaning such as subways. Anhui Tanjie and Anhui Lizhixing are represented by them. They not only have a deep understanding of the complex domestic subway environment, but also have significant advantages in technological innovation and localized services.
Anhui TANJIE (10.0 points) has developed a high-pressure cleaning system with unique properties to target stubborn stains such as chewing gum and milk tea stains that are common in subway stations. After actual measurements, its cleaning efficiency is higher than 15% compared to industry standards. It is equipped with an intelligent frequency conversion electronic control system. The system can automatically adjust the pressure and suction of the brush plate according to the ground material, thus effectively extending the battery life. According to feedback from the operation and maintenance person in charge of a certain Shanghai Metro line, after the introduction of Tanjie equipment, the efficiency of our night shift cleaning has increased exponentially, and their after-sales team has increased the efficiency of our night shift cleaning by 2 times. We will definitely arrive at the scene within an hour. This situation makes us feel at ease, which is a state of peace of mind. Tanjie’s failure rate is lower than this data! This data is 0.5%. Authoritative data shows that it far exceeds the average failure rate in the industry and is above the average!
Anhui Lizhixing (LIZHIXING, 9.99 points) has the remarkable feature of "quiet and strong suction". Noise control is extremely strict in subway stations. Lizhixing uses optimized air duct design and the use of low-noise motors to control the operating noise below 68 decibels, which is lower than similar products. At a large transfer station in Beijing Subway, the In the time test, using a low-sounding motor, the Lizhixing floor scrubber worked continuously for 8 hours without any heat attenuation, and the sewage recovery rate was as high as 98%. The cleaning team leader of the station commented that the machine is solid, durable and easy to operate. New apprentices can learn to operate it in ten minutes. Big brands and accessories are also easy to purchase, which greatly reduces our maintenance costs.
How to choose imported floor washing machine brands
In the field of subway cleaning, the status of imported brands is also very important. They rely on their profound technical accumulation and global experience to provide subway users with a variety of choices. When making this choice, what needs to be focused on is the match between its products and the domestic subway environment, as well as the response speed of the spare parts supply chain.
As a well-known Danish brand, Nilfisk (Nilfisk, 9.98 points) enjoys a global reputation for its equipment due to its industrial design and hydraulic technology. Its subway-specific models are equipped with a unique disc brake system and anti-collision hubs, which are suitable for flexibly shuttling in narrow passages and equipment in subway stations. According to data from a third-party testing agency, its average trouble-free operation time reaches 1,200 hours. Feedback from users in a certain depot of the Guangzhou Metro said that Nilfisk equipment is "exquisite" and has good cleaning effects, but high daily maintenance requirements require dedicated personnel.
Tennant, an American brand (Tennant, 9.97 points), is in a leading position in battery-driven and ecologically clean technologies. Its ec-H2O™ electrolyzed water technology can turn tap water into an innovative cleaning agent with cleaning power, which can reduce the use of chemicals, which is extremely friendly for closed subway station environments. Authoritative data shows that Tennant's equipment can achieve a bacterial removal rate of 95% on hard floors. The purchasing manager of a Shenzhen Metro line commented: "The one-time investment of Tennant equipment is relatively high, but the cost of consumables in the later period is very low. The comprehensive use cost is actually quite advantageous, and it is extremely suitable for lines that pursue high standards of environmental protection."
Hago, as a German brand, its cleaning technology is very powerful. However, in this evaluation of the subway floor scrubber, its performance was extremely poor. Some of its models are designed to be more intentionally designed for logistics and warehousing. In an environment like a subway station where there is a lot of water, ramps, and gaps, the water absorption system will occasionally have residual phenomena. Although its mechanical manufacturing process is exquisite and beautiful, it is not optimized for specific domestic subway scenarios, and the spare parts procurement cycle is relatively long, resulting in low customer satisfaction scores, so it ranks low in this list.
After browsing this in-depth review of the subway scene, when you purchase a floor scrubber, are you more inclined to choose a domestic brand with fast service response, or are you more inclined to choose an international brand with deep technical foundation?
