Orbio® os3 Features and Benefits

Orbio® os3 — Small, Simple, Affordable

Early adopters of On-site Generation (OSG) asked Orbio Technologies for a smaller, more affordable device that generates both cleaning and disinfecting solutions. We listened. Our new os3 system fits perfectly in most cleaning supply rooms and provides simple, safe access to the cleaning solutions your teams need. Orbio Technologies introduces the Orbio® os3 system — the next generation of OSG technology. Especially well suited for educational institutions, healthcare providers and building service contractors, the os3 system is the future of cleaning.

Cleaning and Disinfecting

Instead of generating just a cleaning solution on site, the os3 system has two outputs:

  • MultiSurface Cleaner
  • MultiMicro™ 200

Flexible & Easy

Mounted on the wall or floor, our flexible design can fit into even the most congested cleaning supply room. The unique and simple design features also allow os3 solutions to be easily and affordably dispensed in remote locations. The compact os3 system is also intuitive to operate and easy to use and install.

Time for Clear Thinking

On-Site Generation (OSG) of cleaning and antimicrobial solutions is an inevitable future. The processes involved in using packaged chemicals simply cost too much and pose too many environmental and health hazards. OSG solves those problems by turning ordinary tap water and salt into highly effective cleaning solutions

Orbio Technologies, a Tennant Company Group, is a leading innovator in sustainable technologies that provide effective cleaning without the use of conventional daily-use chemicals. Using the power of transformed water, the Orbio portfolio of water power technologies enables cleaning devices and equipment to achieve the same effect without the hazards or large environmental footprint associated with the use of traditional packaged chemicals. Sparked by the global success of its proprietary ec-H2O™ technology on Tennant Company’s commercial floor scrubbers, Orbio Technologies dedicated research and development teams are working to further expand the portfolio of water-based technologies, enabling new markets and applications.​​

The Inevitable Future of Cleaning

Packaged cleaning chemicals that largely consist of water, dyes and fragrances are on their way out. A new breakthrough technology — called On-Site Generation (OSG) — is rapidly gaining the acceptance and confidence of early adopters.

OSG technology converts water, electricity and a small amount of salt into effective cleaning and antimicrobial solutions. It eliminates the need for many packaged chemicals that have been used for years to clean education facilities, hospitals, public venues, casinos, retails stores and other spaces.

How OSG works

Uncomplicated OSG devices, which are relatively low cost and simple to maintain, are connected to a facility’s tap water supply, drain and standard electrical outlet. Softened tap water and salt are combined and the mixture flows into an electrolytic cell. This water electrolysis process creates two separate streams — a cleaning solution and an antimicrobial solution.

Built-in sensors measure critical output parameters in both solutions to ensure efficacy. The solutions are then dispensed into spay bottles, automatic scrubbers, all-surface cleaners and carpet extractors for your cleaning crews to use.

Instead of a cluttered closet full of multi-colored, daily-use chemicals, cleaning crews have two simple choices—cleaning solution or antimicrobial solution. The OSG solutions offer equal or better cleaning capabilities, without VOCs, dyes, buffers, chelating agents or complicated dilution processes of conventional packaged chemicals. ​
