The current cleaning process at WAMIA uses handheld blower vacs to get rid of the dust and debrisoutside where the livestock are housed at large concrete areas. When moving the livestock around they
inevitably ‘walk the debris’ such as soil, manure and woodchips across concrete housing areas creatinga mess and large amounts of dust. Michelle Caton, the Business Support Officer, describes the current
clean up “as very labour intensive and time consuming. Some days there are multiple times the areas
are being cleaned due to the number of sale auctions occurring. It has to be presentable for people tocome through for the auction”.

SOLUTION

Upon site inspection by WA Territory Sales Representative, Adrian Taylor he determined that an S30Mid-Sized Sweeper was needed for this site. Due to the size of the areas that needed constant cleaning
as well as the type of debris and dust created, the S30’s 3-stage SweepSmart™ system along with the II
Speed™ sweeping technology was perfect and able to pick up debris as small as 0.3 micron. The S30 isfitted with the SweepMax® Plus cyclonic air filtration system which means both the employees andanimals health is maintained with improved air quality through dust control. In this space having amachine that only reaches 80 dBA (one of the lowest ratings in this class for an engine-poweredsweeper) is important so as not to spook the animals. And dual poly brushes mean this machine is able
to tidy up the concrete yards effectively in one pass.
“Once I was there I could see what they needed straight away” said Adrian. “I’m passionate about saving
my customer’s time and hearing how they used the clean the year was very time consuming for theirstaff. Investing in a Tennant machine means they are saving time and being more efficient in the longrun, many years down the road. Plus they won’t be let down with the Tennant S30!”

4 visits per year. Given the application and the amount of cleaning this sweeper will do, regular
maintenance by a Tennant trained technician is a smart move to ensure machine up-time, extend
working life and protect the investment. When the 4 operators at WAIMA received training certification byTennant they were instructed on best practices, necessary safety checks and hands-on operator
maintenance such as filter cleaning and “yellow touch points” that feature on all Tennant machines whichallows for predictability and control of machine maintenance costs additionally Tennant offers life-time
operator training on all its machines so that your cleaning operations are covered when there is staff
turnover.
