ISSA/INTERCLEAN exhibitor profile — ProTeam Inc. Booth 1838 ProTeam Unveils New Wet/Dry Line And 12-inch Upright B By definition, maintenance is an unpre-dictable world of non-stop cleanup. No matter the business or building environment, the need for a wet/dry vac-uum inevitably arises. When flooding occurs or restorative deep cleaning is required, there is no time to wait, and there is no other tool that gets the job done like a wet/dry machine. ProTeam ® , the company international-ly recognized for innovative vacuum technology, recently joined with parent corporation Emerson to design a com-plete line of high-performance wet/dry vacuums known as the ProGuard™ line. Emerson is the global technology and manufacturing leader that acquired ProTeam in September 2009. The Emerson Professional Tools divi-sion, the world’s leading manufacturer of wet/dry utility vacuums, worked with the ProTeam design team to revolutionize the ease-of-use and performance capa-bilities of the wet/dry vacuum. At ISSA/INTERCLEAN booth 1838, ProTeam unveils a full line of six wet/dry vacuums, each model designed to fit in and function for different maintenance challenges and situations. “Wet/dry vacuums have a reputation for being unwieldy and hard to use,” says ProTeam President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Matt Wood. “We wanted to rethink their design, while improving their performance. What we came up with is phenomenal. The ProGuard line is versa-tile, powerful and effective.” The ProGuard LI 3 Cordless is a cord-free, lightweight model designed to go anywhere for quick cleanup. At three gallons, only 10.5 pounds and with a narrow design profile, the ProGuard LI 3 is easy to carry and easy to store. The ProGuard 4 Portable offers a four-gallon tank at only 12 pounds, mak-ing it a go-to, easy-to-carry choice for emergency spills and jobsite mainte-nance. The ProGuard 4 is an ergonomic, handheld alternative to bulky machines. The ProGuard 10 is a 10-gallon, 35-pound, high-performance machine. This versatile unit is designed for both large spills and easy maneuvering. With a heavy-duty, two-stage bypass motor and commercial-grade tools and hose, the ProGuard 10 stays strong in even the toughest environments. The ProGuard 10 HEPA features the same size, advanced motor and 360-degree swivel caster mobility of the ProGuard 10. The HEPA model boosts the dust-cap-ture rate to meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) definition of a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) fil-tered vacuum under the Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule for lead paint construction, hard floor refinishing and other heavy-duty tasks. The ProGuard 15 and 20 vacuums are 15-and 20-gallon models that take power and productivity seriously. These wet/dry vacuums offer the per-formance, filtration and durability of all ProTeam vacuums, with wet/dry efficiency, vari-able wheel patterns for increased maneuverability and mounting squeegees optional. Also at ISSA/INTERCLEAN, ProTeam adds to its line of high-performance upright vacuums by introducing a new model — the ProForce ® 1200XP — with a 12-inch powerhead designed for hard-to-reach places and smaller spaces. Like the 15-inch ProForce 1500 and 1500XP, the new upright offers exclusive performance features, an ergonomic design and integrated HEPA media. “ProTeam sets the standard in innova-tive upright technology,” notes Wood. “We focus on the complete picture. Our uprights take indoor air quality, worker health, productivity and performance into account. These are no ordinary vacu-ums. We’ve evolved our upright line into superior cleaning machines.” Demo the full ProGuard line and the new ProForce at ISSA/INTERCLEAN booth 1838 or visit ProTeam online for more information.
