i-team Global has launched the SAFE-T product family, the world’s first battery-powered cleanroom floor cleaning range.
These innovations help businesses keep contamination out of critical environments while saving time, reducing costs, and addressing staff shortages.
Combining stringent floor cleaning ability, ergonomic design and efficient battery systems, these devices are targeted at controlled environments. This includes industry sectors such as high-tech, semiconductors, medical devices, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and food production.
The company told Cleanroom Technology that the range being bettery-operated provides a solution that no one else on the market provides.
"The range reduces the amount of further contamination as there are no trailing cables. This also increases safety as it reduces the risk of falling over cables," said Mark Hoevenaars, Global Marketing & Innovation Ambassador with i-team Global.
Hoevenaars added that there is also no other scrubber dryer on the market for cleanrooms that meets the required standards.
He explains that the SAFE-T Vac has an 8 layer filteration that allows it to comply with ISO Class 4. Whereas, the The SAFE-T Bot is the "only machine of its kind that has built-in filtration and can be used in cleanrooms".
Reducing man hours
Traditional cleanroom floor cleaning relies heavily on manual wiping and mopping, which is time-consuming and inconsistent.
With powerful mechanical scrubbing and Ultra-Low Particulate Air (ULPA 15) filtration, SAFE-T removes more embedded particles than manual methods, capturing over 99.999% of contaminants as small as 0.1 microns.
Reduce downtime and operational costs
When contamination issues occur, production temporarily comes to a halt. The quicker the cleaning is done, the sooner production can resume.
Cleaning teams play a vital role in minimising downtime costs by following strict protocols. With staff shortages becoming a challenge, smarter processes help ease their workload. These tools are intuitive, easy to use, and require minimal training to get started.
In an already challenging environment, the SAFE-T range is designed to make cleaning easier and reduce physical strain on operators.
No more dealing with floor cables or searching for a power socket. Lightweight machines with ergonomic features and intuitive controls improve both comfort and efficiency. These sustainable products also eliminate single-use mop waste, as well as water and chemical usage.
What is in the range?
Each solution is designed specifically for cleanroom settings and the exhaust output is certified to the rigorous ISO standards for these controlled environments:
- SAFE-T-IMOP, a vertical scrubber dryer for cleanrooms and sticky mats: ISO Class 5-6
- SAFE-T-VAC, a cordless vacuum cleaner: ISO Class 4-5
- SAFE-T-BOT 45, a robotic scrubber dryer: ISO Class 5
Frank van de Ven, founder and CEO of i-team Global, said: “We are proud to lead the way as the first company to offer the only suite of automated cleaning solutions specifically designed for cleanrooms.
"Cleanroom cleaning companies play a vital role in minimising downtime. Now we are providing them with superpowers to tackle contamination with efficiency and precision, reducing downtime and saving significant costs.”
