Compared to manual floor cleaning, floor scrubbers are quicker, more cost-effective and more thorough when it comes to cleaning all types of floors. A scrubber dryer saves you time and cleaning chemicals. The machines are also easy to use and low-maintenance. We have the right design for each application, each one ideally suited to the type and size of your floor and your requirements. From a small business, pub or restaurant, a large supermarket or shopping centre, or a very large surface in an airport or warehouse, scrubber dryers are the most efficient cleaning solution for all floors, whether it’s 30 or 30,000 m² in size.
Floor scrubbers are available in different sizes and many configuration options for a wide range of applications.
Single-disc scrubbers and and polishing machines for hard surface maintenance.
For fast and flexible cleaning of small to medium-sized areas like in restaurants, shops, kitchens, hotels, retail, swimming pools, halls, as well as corridors and aisles and on floors of many facilities.
Ride-on/step-on floor scrubbers
The ideal choice for cleaning large, sparsely furnished areas, such as in warehouses and production halls, shopping centres, car parks or airports. Here you also find our combined sweeper/scrubber drier machines.
Which floor scrubber for which floor?
A scrubber dryer with a roller brush head is especially suitable for extensive deep cleaning of structured and heavily soiled floors thanks to its high brush speeds and a higher contact pressure per cm². This brush head technology also offers substantial advantages when dealing with coarse dirt as the contra-rotating rollers absorb the particles, which are then fed back to the coarse dirt container. This means that pre-sweeping as a previous work step is no longer needed.
Scrubber dryers with disc brush heads are generally used for maintenance cleaning and light soiling. These floor cleaning machines are especially popular for smooth floors and noise-sensitive areas, such as in hospitals or the hotel and gastronomy sector.
Electric or Battery Powered Floor Scrubbers ?
Depending on size and model, Kärcher’s scrubber dryers are electrically-operated, battery-powered or engine-driven. Your application determines which option is most sensible drive technology is for you.
Available in the compact classes and in walk-behind scrubber dryers only, electrically-powered (i.e. corded) machines are affordable and ideal for cleaning smaller indoor areas outside of business hours.
Battery-powered scrubber dryers offer maximum flexibility and prevent tripping hazards.
We recommend our environmentally friendly combustion engine versions (diesel or LPG) for large outdoor or well-ventilated indoor areas. Combustion engine floor cleaning machines by Kärcher are only available in the ride-on scrubber dryer design.
