Nilfisk-Advance AX 651 Multi EDS carpet extractor wins Innovation Award

The new AX 651 Multi EDS carpet extractor from Nilfisk-Advance has won the 2008 ISSA/INTERCLEAN Innovation Award in the machine category at the recent ISSA/INTERCLEAN trade show in Amsterdam, Holland. The multitasking commercial floor cleaning machine was cited for its ability to effectively clean both hard and soft floors and drive down the cost of cleaning. A 30-second tools-free changeover lets operators switch between a full-functioning carpet extractor and a full-functioning cylindrical scrubber. The AX 651 Multi EDS is available in North America as the Adphibian™ extractor/scrubber from Advance.

Helping to make the AX 651 Multi EDS machine effective is the Eco Dosage Solution (EDS) system which precisely meters detergent solution and provides for a longer running time between refill cycles. The EDS system minimizes the amount of water used in extraction and increases per-tank productivity. The result is carpets that are both clean and dry in less than 30 minutes. The fast drying time also significantly reduces the risk of a carpet developing mold and other allergens. Nilfisk-Advance’s proprietary onboard detergent-dispensing system helps meet the green cleaning goals of minimizing detergent and water usage, while also allowing the use of any detergent -- including those that are green certified.

When used as an extractor, the AX 651 Multi EDS multi-surface machine lets operators choose between low-moisture and restoration cleaning. For heavily soiled areas, the machine’s pre-spray mode deep treats carpet by automatically applying and agitating any pre-spray detergent or encapsulate; a simple push of a button then allows the same area to be extracted with clean water. The machine has earned the Carpet Research Institute (CRI) Seal of Approval for deep-cleaning extractors.
