The high pressure washer spray gun, the ERGO 2000 has just been awarded one of the prized IF Design awards for its high level of ergonomics and positive effect on the user’s working conditions.

The high pressure washer spray gun is solidly positioned as the most ergonomic and user friendly solution on the market. The ERGO 2000 gun not only has a modern and easy to use design, it also reduces the forces required by the hand or fingers to hold or activate the trigger. The higher the forces, the more tired the user will become – and the more risk there is of strain and injury due to repeated or long term use.

A dual positive effect

Andrew Caddick, Senior Group Product Manager said: “We are very happy about the IF Design award and believe that it is well deserved. Our development teams always consider the working conditions for the end-user in the design process. This we believe to have a dual positive effect for both end-users and customers. The easier our machines are to operate, the more time the end-user can spend on focused cleaning activity!”

The new design fits comfortably in the hand. There is plenty of space inside the trigger guard for big hands or for people wearing gloves. The trigger itself is activated by the strongest fingers. In addition to these basic features, Nilfisk-ALTO has added a totally new VarioPress regulator. This small trigger enables the adjustment of the pressure/flow with one finger – and is easily within reach of the main trigger itself.

The Ergo 2000 gun is also very easy to service, replacement of wear parts being done simply and quickly on the field – reducing accessory change over time by more than 50%.

The new Ergo 2000 gun sets unmatched standard in both these areas

• A reduction in activation forces of 25% compared to previous model and of 45% compared to competition models
• A reduction in holding forces of 26% compared to previous model and of 55% compared to competition models

Eco friendly cleaning, just add water

If extra high gloss is wanted then the Twister™ Green pad can be used for dry high speed polishing of the floor. This process can be performed on every kind of floor without the use of chemicals. The Twister™ pads are valid for up to 3500 rpm. When performing high speed polishing on soft floors such as vinyl it is recommended to follow the floor manufacturer’s recommendation for the highest rpm.

• Reduce your cleaning time
• Extreme cleanliness
• High level of gloss
• No wax, polish or periodic maintenance is needed
• No chemicals, only water needed in daily maintenance
• The Twister™ pads fits all types of machines
• Twister™ pads with long lifetime
• Also ideal for dry high-speed polishing of the floors and can be used up to 3500 rpm.

As well as the green Twister™ pad there is also a white and yellow. Twister™ white and Twister™ yellow pads are a deep cleaning process that effectively removes smaller scratches and upgrades the floor surface from dull and dirty to clean and shiny. This makes it possible to upgrade and deep clean a floor with no use of chemicals.

When deep cleaning or upgrading a natural stone floor or a Terrazzo floor, it is recommended that a mild stone soap such as the Twister™ Floor Conditioner is used to moisten the stone to prevent it from drying out. On all other floors water is enough even in the deep cleaning or upgrading phase.

Deep cleaning and upgrading is an initial treatment that most often does not need to be redone if the floor is cleaned daily with the green Twister™ pad.
