Tornado Industries, Inc. is committed to creating a clean, safe and healthy workplace environment through
the use of innovative cleaning technology developed to minimize the impact of cleaning on indoor and out-
door environments. At Tornado, we care deeply about our planet and realize the cleaning industry is in a
position to make positive and profound contributions to the environment, ensuring that our children and our
children’s children inherit a sustainable and healthy planet. That’s why we carefully design our machines
to deliver not only the latest innovations, but also green features to enhance indoor air quality (IAQ), use
less water and chemicals, create less noise and produce less moisture. Tornado embraces the following
ecological and corporate values through green and healthy practices:
1. Water conservation:
Our products, such as our carpet extractors, deliver adjustable solution control for
safe, healthy and fast-drying floors that eliminate mold and mildew. Our cylindrical brush floor machines
use 30% less water. The design of cylindrical brush machines minimizes splashing and over spray by
containing water within the machine housing. Cylindrical brush machines have six times the contact pres-
sure of a conventional rotary brush machine, which not only helps reduce water usage, but also improves
worker productivity and reduces labor costs.
2. Less chemicals:
Due to recent green legislation and the development of new cleaning standards, all
of our cylindrical brush machines and carpet extractors are designed to use less chemicals as well as
provide increased rotations per minute (RPMs). The adjustable head pressure helps to minimize the need
for powerful and potentially harmful chemicals. Our carpet extractors have enhanced vacuum systems that
limit the possibility of mold and mildew from developing and speed carpet-drying time. The result? Areas
cleaned are ready for use faster and are safer for building occupants.
3. IAQ Enhancement:
Vacuum cleaners including uprights, backpacks and canisters can release dust
and debris into the air if they are not designed with advanced infiltration systems. That’s why Tornado has
developed a comprehensive product family of high-filtration vacuums with true HEPA filtration to minimize
dust and exhaust from escaping the vacuum. All of our carpet care cleaning equipment has been Carpet
& Rug Institute (CRI) and Tandus Industries tested and approved for green cleaning. What’s more, many
of our UHS Ultra High Speed machines have passive vacuum systems to trap contaminants before they
become airborne.
4. Reusable and Recyclable
:
Our machines are designed with durable polypropylene tanks, housings
and other components that are recyclable after the machine is no longer in use. All Tornado machines
proudly display the recyclable logo. Our long lasting, deep cycle, rechargeable batteries increase run time
and minimize down time and time spent on battery maintenance. Our cylindrical brush technology creates
less environmental waste by utilizing one cylindrical pad to every 100 rotary brush pads, increases the
productivity of your maintenance staff with less time spent on pad maintenance and replacement.
5. U.S. Green Building Council Member:
We support standards and the criteria established
by certification bodies such as the U.S. Green Building Council, The Carpet and Rug Insti-
tute’s (CRI) Green Label Certification program, the Green Seal GS-37 standards, and more.
