The first full-function extractor and scrubber on a single platform, the Adphibian lets operators switch from scrubbing to extracting in just 30 sec-onds with the touch of a button and a change of a hose. Call it addition by subtraction — the Adphibian reduces equipment require-ments, simplifies operator training and eliminates the need to change machines when switching from carpet to hard floors. Operators will get the job done in less time than cleaning with two machines and facility managers can save money by minimizing equipment purchases. Because it enables contract cleaners or in-house workers to replace two machines with just one, the Adphibian is an obvious choice for green cleaning programs. Eliminating the environmental impact of manufacturing, packaging, transporting and eventually disposing of an additional floor cleaning machine helps green facilities and cleaners use only what they need.

When the operator approaches heavily soiled areas such as entryways, a single button allows the operator to increase the solution flow, detergent ratio and brush pressure for more aggressive cleaning. The Ecoflex System also includes onboard detergent dispensing, which eliminates operator guesswork by meas-uring detergent and then dispensing it just as solution is applied to the floor — mini-mizing the use of water and detergent.
