MAKITA: MAKING IT MESS FREE

cleaning professionals and facilities
managers with a powerful cleaning
solution that they can rely on.
The XGT 40VMax CL002G Brushless
Vacuum delivers the high output
needed to tackle large areas and
achieve professional results with ease.
It o— ers an impressive sealed suction of
21kPa and suction power of up to 125W.

floor and carpet cleaning.
As well as a cloth dust bag, the
CL002G is also compatible with a paper disposable dust bag for easier and messfree

levels as low as 54dB(A)), making it ideal for use
in occupied premises such as o— ices, retail and
residential dwellings. Its compact design makes it
comfortable to use even over extended periods –
and easy to pack away at the end of the day.

UK-FIRST: THE MOST HYGIENIC
HAND DRYER EVER?
Oxford-based hand
dryer manufacturer
Airdri is bringing
a new product to
market that is set
to revolutionise
bathroom hygiene
and infection control.
The firm’s new
first of its kind,
PureDri unit, is unlike
anything else currently available. It has been designed and developed in the UK,
by Airdri’s onsite engineers as a response to the pandemic. It combines a fastdrying
hand dryer with a state-of-the-art air sanitiser technology.
PureDri also has a unique patented feature, making it, Airdri believes, its most
hygienic hand dryer available.
As well as continuously sanitising air and surfaces, reducing bacteria and
airborne pathogens by up to 99.8%, it sanitises the hands by delivering a
concentrated stream of disinfecting plasma at the end of the drying cycle. In
independent tests this was found to reduce bacteria on the surface of the hands
by a further 11%.
PureDri is not only extremely e— ective at reducing bacteria but is also energy
e— icient with low running costs and comes with a 5 year warranty. Annual
running costs are between £45 and £55 depending on dryer usage. When
compared to paper towels this demonstrates a huge reduction in annual bills, as
well as the amount of waste being sent to landfill.

protection for the resort’s sta— and its
thousands of annual guests.
Due to the size and complexities of the site, the
previous fire panels had struggled to perform as
required. This was presenting numerous challenges
for the client who duly appointed Yeovil-based Castle
Technical Solutions Ltd to install new control and
indicating equipment and look a© er its ongoing
maintenance.
Castle Technical Solutions’ experience with
retrofitting Advanced’s products to solve fire
protection problems on complex and challenging
sites led the company to specify MxPro 5 across the
two hotels.
Ben Moss, Technical Director at Castle Technical
Solutions, said: “To undertake a successful upgrade
of both hotels’ fire systems, we needed a solution
that could reliably handle the size of the network
required. It also needed to be easy to integrate onto
existing wiring and deliver instantaneous reporting
of faults to minimise potential disruption to guests
and sta— . Advanced’s MxPro 5 is flexible, robust and
dependable and has restored our client’s faith in their
fire system.”
Phil Calvey, Regional Sales Manager for the South
West, said: “This project is a classic example of
our fire protection solutions making life easier for
installers and end users alike. We are thrilled to hear
Castle Technical Solutions speak so positively of their
retrofit experience.
“Our MxPro 5’s high-speed networking capabilities
come into their
own when
protecting largescale
sites such
as this resort,
where there is a
need for complex
cause and e— ect
programming,
without
compromising overall system performance.”
MxPro 5 is the fire industry’s leading multiprotocol
fire panel and was recently certified by FM Approvals
to the EN 54 standard. It o— ers customers a choice
of four detector protocols and a completely open
installer network, backed up by free training and
support.
