Are you
replacing your old floor cleaning pad with a
new one? It窶冱 important to think about the
environment, and we should all try to
reduce, reuse and recycle products as much
as possible. If you are replacing your old
floor cleaning pad, recycling it is a wise
and environmentally friendly step and it
saves money and the earth together.
The
main benefits of the Pad-Ex system are three
fold
1.)
Cheaper than buying new pads:
Reconditioning your pads with the Pad-Ex
system costs a fraction of what a new pad
costs. Compared to what it cost to pay
someone to clean a pad ---- forget about it!
2.) The Environment:
Face it -- it isn't fair to keep the insides
of our buildings clean at the expense of the
environment. It takes about one gallon of
crude oil to produce one floor cleaning pad,
and the land-fills where most of our trash
is dumped are filled up fast. The
construction of a floor pad will not allow
it to biodegrade for hundreds of thousands
of years
By recycling
each floor pad just once using the Pad-Ex
system will save millions gallons of oil per
year and ease the strain on our
environment.
3.) Labor saving:
Using the less expensive Pad-Ex system
allows you to change pads more often thereby
keeping your operators at maximum
productivity. Additionally you don't waste
employee time with cleaning pads to try to
"save money."
Machine
maintenance cost should decrease as well
because clean pads do a faster job requiring
less machine time.
A floor pad
in use is constantly losing effectiveness.
As it is
used, the scrubbing particles in the pad are
gradually worn away and the operator needs
to work harder and harder to get the same
results. As a result it takes longer and
longer to get the floor cleaned and
polished.
The more
often the operator changes the pad the
greater amount of the time he is working at
peak performance.
The Pad-Ex
process is a system which takes dirty, worn,
wax-laden floor pads and restores them to
like new performance at a fraction of the
cost of a new pad. You simply put the used
pads aside and at regular intervals one of
our representatives picks up the old pads
and drops off like-new reconditioned pads.
The process
After being
picked up from your location the pads are
soaked in a special solution which softens
the soil and floor wax which has by design
been captured in the pad. The pads are then
thoroughly cleaned to prepare them for the
next step.
Next the pads
are coated with epoxy-resin based binders
that lock abrasives to the fibers of the pad
and hold the pad together. This protects the
integrity of the pads and maintains the
natural aggressiveness of the various pads.
Finally the
pads are baked in a excess of 220 degrees
which cures the binders and also kills any
bacteria to prevent their spreading.
NOW
THE PAD WILL PERFORM LIKE NEW !
In
closing
Labor
savings, pad costs, and protecting the
environment are all benefits of recycling
your pads with the Pad-Ex system. Each pad
can be reconditioned from 30-40 times. The
cost to recycle is always much less than new
pad.
