Windsor Introduces 3 New Products to Launch Q1 of 2012 at ISSA 2011

Windsor, a Member of KÄRCHER North America, introduces three new products at ISSA 2011 including new patent-pending Chemical-Free Cylindrical Stripping Rollers, the new Chariot iGloss 20 and also an enhanced head to the powerful dual motor Versamatic.

Windsor’s new patent-pending Chemical-Free Cylindrical Stripping Rollers offers chemical-free stripping on multiple platforms—the Saber Blade 16 Micro-Scrubber, Pivot Floor Machine and Chariot iScrub 22SP Stand-On Auto Scrubber. The patent-pending cylindrical stripping rollers strip up to 1.33 coats per pass and up to 5,000 sq. ft. per roller set. The cylindrical design of the rollers reduces pad loading and lasts longer than a traditional stripping pad.

The newest addition to the smaller Chariot platform is the 20” 2000 rpm Chariot iGloss 20. The new Chariot iGloss features the maneuverability and productivity of a Chariot and adds simplicity with a new patent-pending spring-loaded weighted pad that eliminates user pad adjustment—just turn the knob and go. The Chariot iGloss 20 is available with passive or active dust control and operates at a low dbA (62 for active, 59 for passive)—perfect for daytime cleaning. It is also available with an on-board charging option with one of its AGM models.

Windsor has also made enhancements to the most popular two-motor upright in the industry—the Versamatic and Versamatic Plus. The Versamatic line combines powerful dual motor power and cleaning performance, with now an even more extensive degree of durability.  www.windsorind.com

Betco's Smart Restroom System

Betco's Smart Restroom System provides a comprehensive solution to building owners, managers and facility management to reduce operating cost, meet the growing trend in environmental responsibility for LEED and BOMA 360 certified properties and exceed the ever increasing expectations of tenant and building occupant’s for environmental responsibility, building cleanliness and personal hygiene.

SmartValve™

At the heart of Betco’s Smart Restroom System is our latest innovation...the SmartValve™. This lockable, patent pending, flush valve turns most any urinal with a standard or automatic flush mechanism into a water free urinal avoiding costly tear-outs of existing urinals and installation of water free urinals.

SmartScreen™

To complement the SmartValve™, Betco’s technical team developed the SmartScreen™ to counteract the odor and scale build up from urine and hard water. The patent pending SmartScreen is infused with Neutrabond™ Technology to ensure the restroom smells clean throughout the day. Neutrabond Technology is a specially developed combination of malodor counteractants and fragrances that gradually release to chemically bond to microscopic malodor compounds, such as sulfur and ammonia, rendering them odorless and non-toxic. The non-Para block is further enhanced with biodegradable chelating agents and four (4) proprietary non-pathogenic strains of bacteria that quickly break down organic matter and attack odor causing bacteria at the source. This action keeps restrooms smelling clean and prevents the build-up of scale in urinals and pipes.

Barrier Fluid

Barrier Fluid is specially designed fragranced oil that floats on top of water to keep odors from emanating into the washroom from water free urinals and floor drains. Barrier fluid can be used in high traffic areas such as stadiums, airports, convention centers. It can also be used where pre-existing malodor conditions due to floor drains or poorly cleaned floors or when flushing the urinal or cleaning the restroom is not done daily
