HOS ORBOT Orbital Drive Technology Explained

The Orbot is the most compact, versatile commercial and residential orbital floor machine. The Orbot has been engineered to offer a multiple of machine sizes all in one: 17″, 19″, 22″, and 23″. In one single machine, the Orbot’s cleaning path can transform from 17 inches up to 23 inches by simply changing out the driver to the required size. This unique driver system also mounts to an assortment of pads and brushes to clean, scrub, sand, strip, and polish any carpet and hard floor.

The HOS system was designed in mind to support a healthy indoor environment. Carpets will simply be clean, vibrant in color, and dry within minutes. The system will eliminate the most common problems caused by other cleaning methods that lead to mold growth, mildew, volatile organic compounds (VOC), insufficient drying times, recurring stains, and safety hazards.

HOS unique low-moisture system uses 10 times less the amount of water opposed to other water extraction methods. Therefore, over-wet carpets will never be an issue. The problems associated with over-wet carpets are intensified in a heavily used setting. Over-wet carpets require longer drying times. This can cause large sections of a building to be blocked off for extended periods of time. Especially in a school, hospital, or commercial building this can lead to serious safety issues. People walking from a wet or damp carpet directly onto a hard-surface floor can slip or fall. Also, wet carpets that are walked on will almost always re soil more quickly. This is because the chemicals and moisture act as a magnet, pulling dirt and debris into the carpet fibers.

Most dry soil in a commercial or residential carpet can be readily removed by routine dry vacuuming. However, its the oily and sticky soils that attract and hold dry soil to the carpet fibers. The result is a dull, gray, and ugly appearance. To effectively remove these soil particles from the carpet fibers, the right amount agitation is needed. Orbital drive technology is the answer. The orbital drive of the Orbot generates hundreds of small oscillations that spin at roughly 1725 revolutions per minute. This orbital drive pattern allows for all sides of the carpet fibers to be agitated and therefore all of the soil will be effectively removed from the carpet fiber. To ensure that the agitated soil will not stick to the carpet fiber again, a Polymer is needed to trap and encapsulate these soil particles. The polymer element in Environ will form distinct crystals when it dries. These crystals are the principle vehicles that stop working or the reoccurring of stains. They also enable the soil particles to be extracted through post-vacuuming, which keeps carpets cleaner for longer periods of time.
