Commercial cleaning with 70% water savings
Sanitech partnered with SkyJacks to roll out Mach cleaning equipment, cutting water use by 70% and enhancing operational productivity across South African facilities.
Sanitech, a leading hygiene company, has upgraded its national equipment fleet with the high-performance Mach cleaning range, supplied by SkyJacks. This strategic expansion directly answers a major challenge for South African businesses: how to maintain world-class hygiene standards while lowering utility costs and meeting strict environmental targets.
As local industries face escalating operational costs and increasingly severe water scarcity, this new equipment ensures that large facilities can be serviced with minimal disruption. The Mach range brings more than 40 years of Italian engineering expertise to the South African market, combining durability, operational efficiency and ease of use to support high-demand commercial and industrial cleaning environments. Designed with robust components and reduced reliance on complex electronics, the Mach range focuses on long-term reliability, simplified maintenance and maximum uptime. This ensures that the equipment can handle the heavy workloads of busy corporate, commercial, and industrial settings.
“The ultimate benefit for corporate and industrial clients is total service consistency across all operations,” says Robert Erasmus, managing director of Sanitech. “By investing in practical, robust machinery, Sanitech removes the common operational bottlenecks of breakdowns and slow service. These machines are built for maximum uptime, meaning facilities receive a superior, uninterrupted clean every single day.”
From conservation to productivity
The built-in ECOsystem technology tackles resource waste head-on, an increasingly critical factor for businesses pursuing sustainability goals. While standard commercial cleaning machines rely on a constant supply of fresh water, these new units recycle water up to 4 times, resulting in an immediate 70% reduction in overall water use.
Additional Mach technologies, such as DoseMatic and FlowMaster, further optimise the use of water and cleaning chemicals, helping businesses reduce both operational costs and environmental impact while maintaining high cleaning standards.
“This technology delivers a major operational win for productivity,” Erasmus explains. “Recycling water on site means that cleaning teams spend less time emptying and refilling tanks. This cuts out unproductive downtime, particularly in large, multi-level facilities where accessing water points poses a major logistical challenge. It allows staff to complete cleaning tasks faster and more efficiently while actively supporting water conservation goals.”
Darryn Jacobs, managing director at SkyJacks, adds that the Mach range was specifically designed to support continuous operations in demanding working environments. “Features such as longer battery life, quick-change consumables, and durable machine components all contribute to stronger operational uptime,” he says. “Businesses need dependable equipment that can keep pace with demanding cleaning schedules without compromising on performance.”
To ensure service continuity across all regions, Sanitech leverages the strength of SkyJacks’ national technical support network. Because both companies are part of the Waco International group, this internal collaboration eliminates the usual supply chain bottlenecks, ensuring that equipment maintenance never disrupts a client’s business operations.
