The new NEPTUNE 1 is now extended towards a more light duxty variant with the previous NEPTUNE 2. This model targets the entry level customer in the hot water market as well as those users who hesitate between a hot and cold water unit because of price.
The new NEPTUNE 1 comes in a vertical design that not only significantly reduces footprint and storage space, but also enables the products to be wall-mounted as semi-stationary units. The NEPTUNE 1 is destined for use by tradesmen and around smaller garages for infrequent use, the typical customer groups are characterized by a need for compact machines, easy to store and move.
Due to the versatile design, NEPTUNE 1 can be easily stored and transported, furthermore it can be placed vertically or horizontally during transport – ideal for a commercial van or station wagon. The optimally studies design with large wheels and good ground clearance can be easily tipped and pushed or pulled along uneven ground or up steps.
The revolutionary EcoPower boiler is standard on our NEPTUNE range and NEPTUNE 1 is no exception. High heating efficiency ensures hot water at low fuel costs, helping to bring down the total cost of cleaning. New competitor products include an Eco mode, giving lower fuel consumption by limiting temperature to 60°C. On the NEPTUNE line, this lower fuel consumption is of course automatic at this temperature level with no need to select a special mode. The good level of serviceability also reduces maintenance cost and thus, overall cost of cleaning.
The NEPTUNE 1 is further characterized by:
• 26% smaller footprint than competition giving new storage and transport possibilities
• 16% lower fuel consumption – a major benefit as fuel prices soar
• 27% longer run time on a full fuel tank reduces machine down time
• 100% mobility
Plus all the traditional Nilfisk-ALTO values:
• Reliability
• Unbeatable ergonomics
• Excellent cleaning performance.
The good level of serviceability reduces maintenance cost and thus, overall cost of cleaning. Small size does not mean small performance, and the key customer groups will be entirely satisfied with the powerful cleaning efficiency offered.
The NEPTUNE 1 has a significant amount of benefits for our customers and is a strong addition to the already successful NEPTUNE line of hot water machines.
