Another busy day out attending a school after being called in to assess 5 machines that were down — including 2 buffers and 3 scrubber dryers.
The visit was originally just to inspect the machines and provide quotes for repairs, but we managed to get a couple of them back up and running there and then 💪
🛠 Buffer Repairs:
• One buffer had a damaged cable with exposed wires — replaced the cable and made safe.
• The second buffer wouldn’t power on at all. After further investigation, we found the live wire had disconnected inside the handle. Re-secured the connection and tightened the cable sleeve to help prevent it happening again.
Instead of leaving the customer waiting for quotes and parts, we carried out these quick and efficient repairs on-site to get them back up and running with as little downtime as possible ✅
🧼 Scrubber Dryer Assessments:
• Nilfisk scrubber dryer wasn’t moving forwards or backwards. Found damage inside the paddle assembly with the shaft and spring out of line. Managed to secure it for temporary use, but a replacement paddle has been recommended.
• Small Numatic scrubber dryer wasn’t dispensing water. After checks and testing, the fault was traced to a failed solenoid which now needs replacing.
• Larger Numatic scrubber dryer was tripping the electrics when the brush lever was pressed. After checking wiring, motors and components, the fault was found to be a damaged brush motor, a faulty solenoid was also noticed on inspection. Due to the age of the machine and the cost of the repairs, the customer has been advised to consider replacement options instead of repair.
Quotes have now been sent over, with 3 already accepted ✅
We’ve also been asked to help source a replacement machine for the larger Numatic scrubber dryer.
Keep your eyes peeled for updates on the repairs and possibly to supply a new machine 👀
