Tennant Company’s ec-H2O™ Technology Extended with Compact Walk-Behind and Ride-On Scrubber-Dryers and Scrubber-Sweepers
Tennant T3+, T20, M20 and M30 now boast industry-leading performance, value and safety with ec-H2O chemical-free cleaning technology
ANTWERP—12 April 2010—Tennant Company (NYSE: TNC), a world leader in designing, manufacturing and marketing solutions that help create a cleaner, safer world, today announces that its breakthrough ec-H2O™ technology is now available on the Company’s latest compact walk-behind scrubber-dryer and its largest industrial ride-on scrubber-dryers and scrubber-sweepers.
With the extension of ec-H2O to the new Tennant T3+ walk-behind scrubber-dryer, customers can benefit from productivity enhancing ec-H2O technology on one cost-effective compact scrubber-dryer with dual down pressure and on-board storage. A 20% wider cleaning path, combined with advanced technology, increases productivity by over 30%. The T3+ is perfectly sized for small and mid-sized retail facilities.
ec-H2O is now also available on the T20 ride-on scrubber-dryer and M20 and M30 ride-on scrubber-sweepers, commercial customers in retail, hospitality, education and healthcare as well as industrial customers in manufacturing, warehousing, aviation, and food and beverage can reap the performance, value and safety benefits of chemical-free cleaning. Due to the size of the machines, customers of Tennant’s ride-on scrubber-dryers and scrubber-sweepers can enjoy additional benefits, including significantly higher productivity and chemical cost savings as well as a faster return-on-investment.
“We are very proud to offer our customers a complete portfolio of scrubber-dryers and scrubber-sweepers that allows them to maintain their facilities with the most socially and fiscally responsible cleaning technology available,” said Chris Killingstad, president and CEO with Tennant Company.
Tennant Company’s ec-H2O technology was originally introduced in late 2007 on the Tennant T3, T5 and 5680/5700 walk-behind scrubber-dryers. Throughout 2009, Tennant Company extended ec-H2O technology to the Tennant T7 and T15 ride-on scrubber-dryers, the 7300 battery-powered scrubber-dryer, 7100 ride-on scrubber-dryer, and 8300 battery-powered scrubber-sweeper.
ec-H2O technology, developed by Tennant researchers and engineers and awarded the 2009 European Business Award for Innovation, helps to meet the ever-growing need for sustainable cleaning. ec-H2O technology delivers proven cleaning results without the negative environmental and health concerns associated with producing, packaging, transporting, using and disposing of traditional cleaning chemicals. The technology begins as water and ends as water, so it can be handled and disposed of easily and safely; it uses 70 percent less water than traditional cleaning methods, which increases scrub time up to three times per tank; it leaves behind no slippery detergent residue on the floor; and it releases no used detergent discharge into water systems. Eliminating the need for chemical additives enhances worker safety and reduces costs for purchasing and disposal of chemicals.
Together with other innovations, Tennant Company is showcasing the T3+ and M20 equipped with ec-H2O technology on a 320 sqm booth at ISSA/Interclean in Amsterdam from 26 to 29 April. The Tennant booth – number 01.132 in Hall 1 – can be visited for more details from 10.00 to 17.00 hrs daily.
