A Most Unusual Request from the Fish Industry
Morclean were recently contacted by Mr Alan Sandham of the Southern Fish Industry Training Association Ltd (SFITA) Part of the SFITA's Training involves sea survival courses using LIfe Rafts. So how could Morclean help?
Mr Alan Sandham of SFITA said that during a sea survival course, a Life Raft has to be inflated quickly - and they required a machine to do this. So, Morclean supplied a model 'N' series vacuum cleaner with a special external vent with a hose attached - thus using the vacuum cleaner as an air pump instead.
Mr Alan Sandham said the Association was set up as a non-profit making organisation in 1981 to provide safety training for the seagoing sector of the industry in Dorset and Hampshire. Since then, the Association has widened it's area of operations to cover the whole of the south east, from Lyme Regis to the Medway. In 1988, the SFITA increased their industry coverage in order to assist the onshore sectors, and now provide direct training and assistance to all sectors of the industry.
Morclean specialise in bespoke supply of both cleaning equipment and tailor made cleaning solutions, and were pleased to help with this project - however unusual. The Morclean range of wet and dry vacuum cleaners are available in various options of power with 240 and 110 volt motors ranging up to 3000w, and capacities from 9trs to 200ltrs.

Commonwealth Games 2002 Presents a Sticky Problem
Just weeks before the Commonwealth Games were due to open, Morclean received a frantic telephone call and then a motorbike courier delivery of a liquid hand soap dispenser from the organizers in the Manchester Stadium.

Removing each dispenser from the wall to empty via the tiny opening then rinse out with a steam cleaner was not a prospect the organisms looked forward to. That is until Morclean developed, and delivered within 48 hours, a specialist vacuum and extraction machine that could empty clean and rinse each dispenser quickly and in one operation while still fitted to the wall.

Mr Richard Betts of EC-EX Engineering said "I have tested the units Morclean supplied and know that in time saving - and sheer flexibility they will pay for themselves in no time at all, as we now only need a two man team per floor instead of a three man team!"

Punting Down the River
Cambridge based Scudamores provides punts for hire on the river Camb. Boats that are moored at the three sites eventually fill with river and rain water, and become littered with leaves, paper and debris. Until recently this all had to be laboriously bailed out by hand.

The vacuum system provided removes all the water from the craft, and separates the debris, leaves and paper into a special filter. The machines then discharge all the clean river water, minus the debris, back into the river.
