Nilfisk Unveils Groundbreaking SC550 Walk-Behind Scrubber

Nilfisk is proud to announce the launch of the SC550 walk-behind scrubber. Nilfisk developed the SC550 scrubber based on customer insights to help organizations optimize cleaning processes through user-centric design, intuitive operation and sustainable technology.

The Nilfisk SC550 walk-behind scrubber was first unveiled at the Interclean trade show in Amsterdam on May 14, 2024, and will be available for purchase in November 2024.


Designed with the user in mind, the Nilfisk SC550 scrubber ensures a seamless and intuitive cleaning experience that caters to the needs of diverse organizations and individual operators. This new machine addresses the industry's challenges, including labor shortages and high staff turnover, by facilitating ease of use with minimal training required. Its ergonomic design makes it comfortable for the operator, and efficient use of resources makes it gentle on the planet.

Value-Driving Benefits of the Nilfisk SC550 Walk-Behind Scrubber

Simple, intuitive usability – With onboard tutorials and maintenance guides, first-time operators can quickly master the SC550 scrubber. It features user-friendly controls and an intuitive interface that makes operation smooth and natural. Colored touchpoints indicate where users should interact for efficient maintenance.

Adaptable design – We recognize that every organization is unique, and so is every user. The SC550 features an adjustable steering column that adapts to the user’s size and smart presets that users can customize to their language and skill level. Customers can choose between four scrubber brush types based on floor type and cleaning needs.

Reduced environmental impact - The SC550 walk-behind scrubber tackles tough jobs while optimizing the use of water, energy and detergent. Based on internal studies, it is 28% more energy efficient than previous models and uses up to 40% less water and 60% less detergent, compared to machines without similar technology. Nilfisk plans to incorporate up to 30% post-consumer recycled plastics into the SC550 scrubber by 2025, underlining the company’s commitment to sustainability.

Driven to Help Customers Succeed

"At Nilfisk, we are driven to provide our customers with innovations that help them succeed. The SC550 is the first example of how we are meeting the changing needs of the global cleaning industry. Regardless of their role or industry focus, we want the people who interact with our machines to perform at their best and achieve immaculate results with minimal environmental impact. The SC550 is a testament to this, combining usability with advanced cleaning technology and optimized resource usage," said Amit Khamkar, SVP, Global Head of Product Portfolio at Nilfisk.

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs. For complete wheel specs and product details check out the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster Landing Page and all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster Landing Page.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC (https://www.newhorizon.ai), a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
