Everything we do has an impact on the environment and therefore on our future. This is why, with each and any of our activities, we focus on protecting the environment: from selecting the materials to sustainable development processes and the resource-saving production of our machines. Eco-friendly use is one of our top priorities when developing our machines, which means, for example, that we focus on developing efficient solutions with a long service life and low consumption of cleaning detergents. And our customers benefit from our machines’ superior economic efficiency.

More than just “clean”
Hygiene – as well as the requirements associated with hygiene issues – are becoming more and more important, and this applies not only to particularly sensitive areas. As a result, the market shows an increasing interest in products equipped with antibacterial properties.
The innovative antibacterial tank coating Hako-AntiBac® protects the plastic and reduces fungal and bacteria development. This feature not only extends the service life of the tanks, but also ensures improved hygiene and reduced odour development as well as a lower consumption of tank-cleaning disinfectants.
Benefits for contract cleaners
- Improved workplace hygiene and protection of employees due to reduced contact with bacteria, fungus, spores, and unpleasant odours.
- Hako-AntiBac® makes meeting hygiene requirements much easier, without any additional cleaning effort.
Improved environmental protection and reduced costs due to a lower consumption of disinfectants used to clean the tank.
Hako-AquaControl at a glance
- Automatic water stop function when the machine stands still.
- Memory function stores the most recent settings.
- Precise dosing at any time.
- AquaStop® water retaining rings ensure that the cleaning solution is fully utilised and remains longer in places requiring intensive cleaning. This protects the environment and saves costs. TÜV-approved and certified.
Forget the idea that “little is good, more is better”!
Hako-LessChem means saving cleaning detergents. Hako’s tailor-made dosing and filling systems rule out incorrect dosing from the outset and guarantee reliably good cleaning results with only small amounts of cleaning chemicals. Using superior products such as our highly concentrated cleaning detergent Cleanol SE ECO, which has been awarded the European Environmental Label, additionally reduce your company’s environmental footprint.
Automatic dosing
Our automatic, wall-mounted dosing system works according to the Venturi principle: When opening the water tap, the cleaning chemicals are added to the water with negative pressure via a separate hose. The amount of chemicals supplied is defined by a measuring pin. The DVGW-compliant system is equipped with a non-return valve to prevent contaminated water from flowing back into the mains system.
Automatic filling
To provide automatic filling, the hose is connected to the scrubber-drier via a plug coupling. When the solution tank has been completely filled, a float switch stops the water supply. Instead of having to stay with the machine, the operator can use the filling time to carry out other tasks, which ensures a more efficient utilisation of staff capacities.
On-board dosing system
The on-board dosing system is equipped with a variable speed pump. The amount of cleaning detergents added to the system depends on the amount of water supplied. The concentration is infinitely adjustable and remains constant. This reliably prevents over- or under-dosing, even when the operator increases or reduces the amount of water supplied. This system can also be used with machines that are not equipped with a water pump.
FastFill
Hako’s FastFill filling system is particularly suited for applications requiring large amounts of water or jobs that leave little time for re-filling the tank. It consists of either a 150 or 300-litre tank and is very easy to handle. FastFill fills the tank at 120 litres/ minute. A dosing unit guarantees the correct mixing ratio of machine-suitable cleaning detergents.
Innovation for superior cleaning results
Cleaning chemicals are used only when absolutely necessary. Lightly soiled floors can be cleaned efficiently and economically without the need for chemicals. To remove more stubborn dirt, Chemical on Demand can be activated at the push of a button. A few drops of cleaning detergent are sufficient to remove the soiling, and the cleaning process can be continued in a cost-saving and environment-protecting manner.
Hako: Safety first!
The production and contents of our cleaning detergents are continuously monitored and reassessed to ensure that our cleaning detergents are not only particularly effective and economical in use, but also extremely safe.
Innovation for extremely low-dust sweeping
Up to 99.5% less particles in the exhaust air – thanks to our unique R2S filter technology, which is not only particularly effective but also very easy to maintain. Our outdoor cleaning machines are tested for their fine particulate emissions and certified according to EUnited-Test PM10.
Fewer emissions at the work site
This is provided, for example, by LPG liquid-fuelled drives with low CO2 emissions for indoor use, or catalysts, or particle filters for diesel-powered vehicles, or powerful electric drives and suitable battery technologies.
With Hako-LowNoise, noise doesn’t become a nuisance
.
Hako reduces burdensome noise by providing clever features such as Silent-Kit for indoor cleaning machines, or special equipment for our Citymasters, which allows working even late at night in sensitive areas outside the time restrictions imposed by the German Machine Noise Prevention Regulations.
Hako-BioOil: the environmentally-friendly alternative.
Hako-BioOil, our high-performance lubricants made of renewable raw materials, are environmentally friendly, technically equivalent to mineral-oil-based lubricants, and have a high level of biodegradability.
Up to 90 % less dust and fine particulates!
When sweeping heavily soiled and dusty floors, the development of dust during dry sweeping can hardly be avoided. Designed as an elastic cover made of high-quality and eco-friendly Linatex, Dust Stop lies directly on the bristles of the side broom and stops the air-generating effect of the rotary motion. The result: Dust and fine particulates are no longer swirled up – which has a positive effect on the cleaning result. Shelves and stored goods remain free of dust, and both the working environment and the machine operator profit from less ambient dust and reduced fine dust pollution.
A simple idea with maximum effect!
Dust Stop can be retrofitted easily – no technical installation required! Unlike conventional dust control systems, Dust Stop uses no water, which means: no streaky floors! In comparison to working with naked bristles, Dust Stop minimises the danger of debris being catapulted out of the sweeping path. Sweeping close to walls or racks is possible without restrictions – and without damaging any objects.
All benefits at a glance:
- Allows dust-reduced sweeping
- Reduces fine dust and noise pollution
- No use of water
- Easy handling
- No additional energy consumption (rotates with the side broom)
- Dust Stop is suitable for use with Hako Sweepmasters and Scrubmasters equipped with a pre-sweep/vacuum unit
