E.E: What are the most innovative products marketed?
TPA IMPEX: Our most innovative products are Blue Evolution S+, Blue Evolution XL+ and Limatic Carbon.
Blue Evolution S+
Swivel wheels and small dimensions make the Blue Evolution S+ professional steam cleaner the ideal steam cleaner for sanitizing commercial surfaces and work environments with agility and practicality. Despite being the smallest in the Blue Evolution line, the S+ version ensures effective sanitization with its 8 constant pressure bars. The UVC lamp integrated in the machine has a strong germicidal action: in addition to eliminating germs and bacteria, it protects the surfaces from proliferation from any pathogens.
Blue Evolution S+ gives off clean air, free of impurities, eliminating 99.9% of germs and bacteria (LogStufe 2.89 ± 0.15) thanks to the integrated UVC lamp. The innovative Blue Evolution S+ steam system stands out for the optimization of cleaning processes. The winning formula is very simple: a better cleaning result, in a short time.
Blue Evolution S+, thanks to its small size, acquires the maximum sanitizing power when spaces become tight. With a power of 3,400 Watts (230 V) steam pressure of 8 bar and a steam temperature of 175° C, Blue Evolution S+ ensures high performance by optimizing consumption. The product is completed by a powerful suction and the washing-extraction function that dissolves stubborn dirt with a mixture of steam mixed with hot water at 70 ° C.
Blue Evolution XL+
Blue Evolution XL + by TPA Impex ranks among the most versatile industrial steam generators for industrial cleaning. With an output of 7,200 watts, steam pressure of 10 bar (145 PSI) and a steam temperature of 180°C (348 °F), the Blue Evolution XL+ can keep on cleaning long after other machines have given up. The innovative machine concept with robust housing, stainless steel front and four freely moving castors, make the XL+ the flexible cleaning pro, bringing cleanliness to the furthest corners of your production and warehouse facilities. Whether for machine cleaning, for working platforms, in administration, in healthcare and in the catering industry, the BlueEvolution XL+ always gives its all.
An industrial steam generator with water filter is able to suck in solids and liquids with a constant filtering quality in any type of use. Blue Evolution XL + eliminates 99.9% of germs and bacteria (LogStufe 2.89 ± 0.15) thanks to the integrated UVC lamp, thus ensuring double hygiene in a single steam generator, at no extra cost.
Limatic Carbon
Despite its compact size, Limatic Carbon is a powerful machine with a constant pressure of 5.5 bars. Its robust brass vacuum suction tubes and a wide range of accessories make Limatic Carbon perfect for professional use.
This innovative steam and vacuum suction system allows the user to easily and perfectly clean points that are usually difficult to reach with other appliances. This is possible thanks to the compact size of the device, the length of its tube (3 meters), and the various accessories supplied with it. These accessories allow the Limatic Carbon lance to slide, without any difficulty, over all surfaces and clean them excellently. Thanks to the washing-hot water extraction module, Limatic Carbon can also remove stubborn dirt. The automatic descaling program and the ergonomically shaped handle (with adjustable height) are two strong points of this steam cleaner. The handle allows the machine to be used by both right- and left-handed people and its height can be adjusted up to 30 centimetres. This ergonomically shaped handle is made of stainless steel and is, therefore, particularly robust.
E.E: What estimations do you have for 2020?
TPA IMPEX: In this particularly difficult year for everyone, full of difficulties and doubts about the future, the need for proper sanitation is felt more than ever before. The professional cleaning sector is therefore called to play a leading role during coronavirus outbreak. The pandemic has posed new challenges to our sector, both in terms of quality and quantity of products. Companies and people are facing a growing demand for cleaning products.
We think that the challenging moment sparked by the pandemic could signal a new start for the cleaning sector.
