Smart & SUSTAINABLE Cleaning

Up to 70 % reduced energy consumption*

Our own developed inverter which is solely developed for this purpose saves up to 70 % in standby power.

Up to 47 % Reduced water usage*

The improved rinse impact from the ingenious Tornado Nozzle reduces the overall water consumption. A combination of the higher impact and the time save hereof give a significant water usage reduction.

25 % Higher Cleaning impact*

The Nilfisk FOOD Tornado Rinse Nozzle is engineered to increase rinse performance by up to 25%, delivering higher mechanical cleaning impact without increasing overall water consumption.

Up to 46% Reduced detergent usage*

All our Hybrid 7 models is equipped with our own developed Hybrid 7 block which features our patented Corona Technology. Corona Technology injects air into the

water and detergent mix in circular streams which gives more foam with less detergent and creates nanobubbles which gives an even more effective cleaning.

Up to 22% Reduced downtime*

Due to faster cleaning enhanced by our effective nozzles, constant pressure and reliable equipment we secure our customer the shortest downtime.

Up to 12% Reduced labor costs*

Our highly configurable and intuitive display and our best-in-class technologies like the Tornado Nozzle and Corona Technology facilitates the shortened and efficient cleaning times.

Energy-Efficient Cleaning Systems for the Food & Beverage Industry

Compared to previous Nilfisk FOOD models and industry standard cleaning systems.

The Nilfisk FOOD Hybrid 7 inverter is the only inverter on the market developed exclusively for industrial cleaning systems in the food and beverage industry.

Designed for intelligent power management, the Hybrid 7 inverter significantly reduces standby energy consumption while maintaining system readiness and operational stability.

Units equipped with Hybrid 7 technology achieve:

• Up to 70% reduction in standby power consumption
• Optimized energy efficiency during non-active periods
• Lower operational energy costs
• Reduced environmental footprint

By integrating a purpose-built inverter with advanced system control, the solution ensures stable performance, controlled motor operation and energy optimization across production shifts.

Engineered power management. Documented energy savings. Built for food industry environments.

Higher Cleaning Impact

Increased Rinse Efficiency in Industrial Cleaning Systems

Compared to standard Nilfisk FOOD nozzles.

The Nilfisk FOOD Tornado Rinse Nozzle is engineered to increase rinse performance by up to 25%, delivering higher mechanical cleaning impact without increasing overall water consumption.

Through advanced flow alignment and controlled internal turbulence, the Tornado nozzle distributes rinse impact evenly across the entire spray pattern. Unlike conventional nozzles — where impact is concentrated in the center — the Tornado design ensures uniform force distribution across the full surface area.

The result:

• Up to 25% higher rinse impact
• More efficient pre-rinse and rinse processes
• Faster soil removal in food production environments
• Reduced aerosol formation during cleaning
• Improved operational efficiency

By combining optimized hydraulics with precision nozzle engineering, the Tornado Rinse Nozzle enhances cleaning performance while supporting safer and more controlled industrial cleaning operations in the food and beverage industry.

Optimized Water Use in Food Industry Cleaning

Compared to industry standard low-pressure cleaning systems.

Less water in. Less wastewater out.

The patented Nilfisk FOOD Tornado Rinse Nozzle is engineered to optimize water consumption in industrial cleaning systems for the food and beverage industry.

Its advanced nozzle design bundles and precisely aligns the water stream while generating controlled internal turbulence. This creates a focused, high-impact rinse pattern that maximizes mechanical cleaning effect with significantly lower water flow.

The result:
• Up to 47% water savings
• Reduced wastewater generation
• Improved rinsing efficiency
• Lower energy consumption for wastewater treatment
• More sustainable cleaning operations

By reducing water usage at the source, the Tornado Rinse Nozzle supports both operational efficiency and environmental performance. Less wastewater means lower treatment costs, reduced energy demand and improved resource management — without compromising cleaning performance.

Detergent Savings

Less detergent. More foam. Longer cling time.

With patented Corona Technology, compressed air is injected directly into the water and detergent stream at the optimal point — creating a stable, homogeneous foam with controlled performance.

Compared to standard low-pressure systems, this results in a denser, more uniform foam that:
• Generates ~20% more foam
• Covers more surface → less product needed
• Clings longer → more effective cleaning
• Rinses off easier → faster cleaning cycles

The result:
• More effective cleaning → less rework
• Faster, more predictable cleaning cycles
• Lower chemical consumption
• Reduced water usage and CO₂ footprint
