***Integrated Scrubber-Sweeper ***
MINNEAPOLIS, MN: The M30 scrubber-sweeper, like the Tennant M20,
eliminates the complexity of traditional sweeper-scrubbers (two machines
bolted together) by combining a scrubber and a sweeper into a single
system called FloorSmart(R) with a high-capacity, high-dump hopper and
dry dust control, allowing the Tennant M30 to deliver superior cleaning
results at a dramatically lower total cost of ownership. Designed
specifically for large-scale applications, the Tennant M30 is an
easy-to-use, simple-to-maintain integrated scrubber-sweeper with
dramatically fewer moving parts resulting in more uptime, less downtime,
and the maximum in long-life productivity. "Tennant Company's
introduction of the Tennant M30 demonstrates our commitment to providing
the industrial marketplace with cleaning technologies that provide
superior results both in terms of cleanliness and fiscal
responsibility," said Steven Coopersmith, vice president of global
marketing for Tennant Company. "Not only does the Tennant M30 improve
productivity, cleanliness, and safety, but it does so while reducing the
total cost of ownership." The Tennant M30 includes a number of
customer-centric technologies and capabilities that together provide
lifetime value, maximum productivity, consistent cleaning, and increased
safety, such as: FloorSmart(R) -- A patent-pending integrated scrubbing
and sweeping system that features two main brushes as well as a
high-capacity, high-dump hopper with dry dust control. The system allows
users to dry sweep or wet scrub or do both simultaneously using the same
two brushes. MaxPro²™ Hydraulic Technology -- Provides
consistent power to the brush drive motors to deliver superior cleaning
results. Dura-Track™ Parabolic Squeegee -- Designed with high
tensile-strength steel to maintain its original structure without
bending under pressure to deliver best-in-class performance and
connected with a SmartRelease™ breakaway system that protects
against damage to the squeegee frame and floor if the squeegee breaks
away. Touch-N-Go™ Control Panel -- Increases productivity and
ease-of-use by remembering previous settings to allow operator to push
one button to begin operation. EasyOpen™ Access -- Reduces
downtime with easily accessed engine and hydraulic components for quick
servicing. FaST(R) (Foam-activated Scrubbing Technology) -- A patented
system that is NFSI (National Floor Safety Institute) certified as
increasing floor traction up to 21 percent, delivering just-scrubbed
floors that are immediately clean, quickly dry, and ready for traffic.
Hygenic(R) Tanks with Variable Drain Valve™ -- Tanks allow for
quick and easy access to the recovery and solution tanks for inspection
and sanitization. Valve controls the flow of both solution and recovered
water to empty tanks without the traditional fuss and mess. ---Tennant
Co.

Pulley Alignment Goes Green
The award-winning SheaveMaster now features a Green Line Laser for
optimum visibility under extremely bright sunlight conditions. It mounts
magnetically to the face of a pulley. A permanently calibrated green
laser beam fans out striking 3 magnetic targets on the opposite pulley
and measures angular, offset and twist misalignment of the drive.
Traditional methods are cumbersome and require two people. One person
does it easily and more precisely with SheaveMaster! Better alignment
reduces belt wear, noise, vibration and downtime. Call 305-591-8935 or
