Industry's First Hybrid Drive Combination Sweeper-Scrubbers Slash Fuel Costs, Emissions and Hydraulic System Maintenance

Energy-efficient Advance CS7000 doubles operating run time while virtually eliminating 98 percent of high-maintenance hydraulic systems.

Industry's First Hybrid Drive Combination Sweeper-Scrubbers Slash Fuel Costs, Emissions and Hydraulic System Maintenance
2011-05-11
MINNETONKA, MN, May 11, 2011 (Press-News.org) Advance introduces the CS7000 sweeper-scrubbers, delivering unprecedented performance, fuel efficiency and operational range on one sustainable platform. Using efficient hybrid drive or extended run-time battery powered configurations, the CS7000 largely eliminates complex, high-maintenance hydraulic systems of traditional ride-on cleaning equipment.

"The CS7000 is a huge advance in the future of sustainable cleaning, offering less mechanical complexity while still adhering to high productivity expectations," said Mike Kanitz, Product Manager for Advance. "We have bridged the gap with the CS7000, offering machines with unparalleled energy efficient electric motor technology at the lowest cost of ownership for industrial floor cleaning."

Advance offers three models built on the innovative CS7000 high-efficiency electric drive system, with two Hybrid drive models and one ePower battery model available to meet diverse cleaning application requirements.

The Advance CS7000 Hybrid models--available in LP or diesel--offer equipment owners an efficient green cleaning option with the following benefits:

- Up to 50 percent less fuel consumption significantly reduces harmful carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and minimizes high fuel costs.
- Lower operating noise than similar engine powered machines provides minimal intrusive operation within facilities.
- Hybrid system battery power allows users to drive to refueling station if machine runs out of fuel during operation, minimizing lost productivity particularly in large operations.

The CS7000 ePower battery model significantly reduces equipment owner's total cost of ownership. Additional benefits include:

- Extended run time of up to 5.4-hours sweeping and scrubbing on a single battery charge versus traditional 3.5-hour run times on competing machines.
- Cleaning performance equal to similar engine powered machines.
- Zero emissions increase indoor air quality.

The CS7000 sweeper-scrubber operates with reliable IP55 washdown-rated, electronically-controlled electric drives and propulsion, offering simplified operation and maintenance. Compared to competitive dual cylindrical sweeper-scrubber designs, the CS7000 utilizes a cylindrical sweeping system and a separate disc scrubbing system. Dedicated sweeping and scrubbing functions with one-pass cleaning power keep dry debris dry without introducing scrub solution into the debris hopper. This provides operators and equipment owners with increased productivity and reduced maintenance.

Optional equipment features provide users with unlimited flexibility to meet their cleaning challenges. The patented DustGuard System suppresses dust at its source during sweeping, reducing dust generated by side brooms by up to 75 - 85 percent. Combined with the patented, high capacity Donaldson PowerCore ultra-web nanofiber filtration technology, the CS7000 improves dust control further by eliminating clogged filters. Users can also employ the optional EcoFlex System, which puts flexible, cost-effective cleaning power at their fingertips with one touch control, green cleaning capabilities.

The CS7000 is ideal for industrial cleaning applications that present difficult-to-manage areas due to the size and scope of the required cleaning area, including warehouse, shipping and manufacturing facilities. Outdoor cleaning applications, such as heavily-accessed university grounds or large parking lots, also benefit from the CS7000's dual cleaning capabilities.

Advance is a brand of Nilfisk-Advance, Inc. For more information on the new Advance CS7000 Sweeper-Scrubber, call 866-429-8175 or visit http://www.advance-us.com/cs7000

OnlineAutoInsurance.com Explains Differences between Liability and No-Fault Coverage

2011-05-11
Practically every state in the nation requires that residents who own autos purchase car insurance coverage, but the necessary types and amounts differ widely. In a new FAQ from OnlineAutoInsurance.com, the writers explain the key aspects of the two main coverage systems in the U.S.: liability and no-fault. All states with compulsory coverage laws require drivers to purchase some property damage liability insurance, which goes to pay for property repairs caused by the policyholder. Where states differ, though, is how drivers get protected for bodily injury damages ...

Coffee reduces breast cancer risk

2011-05-11
Recently published research shows that coffee drinkers enjoy not only the taste of their coffee but also a reduced risk of cancer with their cuppa. More detailed research published today in BioMed Central's open access journal Breast Cancer Research shows that drinking coffee specifically reduces the risk of antiestrogen-resistant estrogen-receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer. Researchers from Sweden compared lifestyle factors and coffee consumption between women with breast cancer and age-matched women without. They found that coffee drinkers had a lower incidence of ...

15 eggs is the perfect number needed to achieve a live birth after IVF

2011-05-11
An analysis of over 400,000 IVF cycles in the UK has shown that doctors should aim to retrieve around 15 eggs from a woman's ovaries in a single cycle in order to have the best chance of achieving a live birth after assisted reproduction technology. The study, which is published online in Europe's leading reproductive medicine journal Human Reproduction [1], found that there was a strong relationship between live birth rates and the number of eggs retrieved in one cycle. The live birth rate rose with an increasing number of eggs up to about 15; it levelled off between ...

Drug regulators are protecting profits over patients, warn researchers

2011-05-11
Medicines regulators are protecting drug company profits rather than the lives and welfare of patients by withholding unpublished trial data, argue researchers on bmj.com today. They call for full access to full trial reports (published and unpublished) to allow the true benefits and harms of treatments to be independently assessed by the scientific community. Despite the existence of hundreds of thousands of clinical trials, doctors are unable to choose the best treatments for their patients because research results are being reported selectively, write Professor ...

RNA spurs melanoma development

2011-05-11
ORLANDO, Fla., May 10, 2011 –Traditionally, RNA was mostly known as the messenger molecule that carries protein-making instructions from a cell's nucleus to the cytoplasm. But scientists now estimate that approximately 97 percent of human RNA doesn't actually code for proteins at all. A flurry of research in the past decade has revealed that some types of non-coding RNAs switch genes on and off and influence protein function. The best studied non-coding RNAs are the microRNAs. Now, researchers led by Dr. Ranjan Perera at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (Sanford-Burnham) ...

McMaster scientists find protein’s bad guy role in prostate cancer

2011-05-11
Hamilton, ON (May 10, 2011) – It's a disease affecting those closest to us – our fathers, brothers and sons. Prostate cancer impacts one in six men in Canada. Last year, roughly 24,600 men were diagnosed with the disease. Most types of prostate cancer are curable if caught and treated early. But little is understood about the mechanisms that cause a tumour to metastasize and spread to other parts of the body. Damu Tang, an associate professor of medicine in the Division of Nephrology of the McMaster University's Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine and St. Joseph's ...

Successful depression treatment of mothers has long-term effects on offspring

2011-05-11
DALLAS – May 10, 2011 – Children whose mothers are successfully treated for depression show progressive and marked improvement in their own behaviors even a year after their moms discontinue treatment, new UT Southwestern Medical Center-led research shows. Additionally, the faster mothers got better, the faster their kids improved – and the greater the degree of improvement experienced. "If you treat the mother when she is depressed and don't even go through the process of treating the children of these mothers, they still get better as their mothers get better," said ...
