  • 1973
    TASKI combimat 42E, the small, easily manoeuvrable scrubber drier bridged the gap between existing large automatics and the method of using single disc machines and wet vacuum cleaners. Thanks to its versatility, it became the most successful automatic cleaning machine and in some places is still used today.
