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 in-
door and outdoor 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 innovation, 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 ma-
chines 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 pressure 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 sys-
tems 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 con-
taminants 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, in-
creases 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 Institute’s (CRI)
Green Label Certification program, the Green Seal GS-37 standards, and more.
