How Exactly Do Floor Scrubbers Work?
All modern floor scrubbers with a roller or disc brush head essentially work in the same way. The cleaning solution is mixed either in the fresh water tank when detergents are added to it or, in the case of automatic dosing systems, just in front of the brush head itself. The rotation and contact pressure of the brush work together to remove dirt. Thanks to the turbine's suction power, the dirty water is then absorbed by the squeegee and collected in the dirty water tank. Scrubbers on the other hand do not have a turbine or a squeegee. This is why loosened dirt is collected by, for example, Kärcher's wet/dry vacuum cleaners afterwards.
Not all floor scrubbers are the same.
Floor scrubbers are like cars – they all essentially work the same way, yet not every model is suited to each area of application. Yet, thanks to different designs, sizes, brush head systems and drive technologies, it is very easy to find a machine that can match your unique requirements. You know how large your surfaces are and whether they are filled with objects or not, and you're familiar with the structure of your floors and their degree of soiling. With dozens of floor scrubbers models available, Kärcher can help you find the right floor cleaning machine for what you need.
Which Auto Scrubber for Which Floor?
Whether you’re removing multiple scuff marks or want to eliminate dirt from grout, Kärcher floor scrubbers are available with two different brush heads. Discs work best on smooth floors, whereas roller brushes create up to 10 times more down-pressure to provide a deeper clean.
Cylindrical Brush Heads
Floor scrubbers with cylindrical roller brushes are particularly suitable for extensive, thorough cleaning of your structured and heavily soiled floors, thanks to their high brush speed and contact pressure. This brush head technology also has great advantages when dealing with coarse dirt as their counter-rotating rollers absorb the particles which are then fed to a coarse dirt container. With this technology, pre-sweeping is no longer needed.
Disc Brush Heads
Floor scrubbers with disc brush heads are generally used for routine cleaning and lighter soiling. These floor cleaning machines are a great option for smooth floors and in noise-sensitive areas, including hospitals, hotels and restaurants.
Which Energy Source for Which Floor Scrubber?
Depending on size and model, Kärcher's floor scrubbers are battery-powered, corded, or engine-driven. The cleaning application plays a key role in deciding what the most sensible drive technology is for you.
Available in the compact classes and in walk-behind floor scrubber only, corded machines are affordable and ideal for cleaning smaller indoor areas outside of business hours.
Battery-powered floor scrubbers offer maximum flexibility and prevent tripping hazards. Great and small: Kärcher offers battery-powered versions in every design.
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 scrubbers design.
Floor Scrubber With or Without Integrated Traction Drive?
Comfort, weight and user-friendliness are crucial factors in deciding whether the machine should be equipped with or without integrated traction drive. A lighter floor scrubber with a tank volume of up to approximately 13 gallons can easily be operated without traction drive. We recommend integrated traction drive on larger models as it is not possible to operate a machine of that size using your own body weight for longer periods of time without tiring.
Floor cleaning machines without traction motors use the rotation of the brushes to propel the machine forward. The amount of effort required by the operator to do so is kept to a minimum.
The active and adjustable traction motor on a floor cleaning machine with traction drive, on the other hand, moves the machine forward, making very long periods of operation possible without tiring.
Kärcher’s Innovative Cleaning Technology
Protection against incorrect use
Prevent machine misuse, keep familiarization time for the user to a minimum, and ensure optimum cleaning efficiency with Kärcher’s Intelligent Key* system (KIK) which enables machine speed, brush pressure, and water and detergent dosing to be pre-set to each operator.
Simple and safe operation
Choosing the right cleaning program is simple thanks to the EASY!Operation panel. The clear, at-a-glance view via pictograms makes it easy for anyone to use the machine, reducing the need for training and removing any language barriers.
Every touch point color-coded for ease of use
Users can quickly see what is relevant to them thanks to the color-coded access elements on the machine. This makes using and maintaining the machine simple: yellow for the operator, gray for the service technicians.
Save money and be more environmentally friendly
Manual calculations of how much detergent to use are no longer necessary with our Dose* system which automatically and precisely meters the correct detergent quantity from the onboard bottle into the clean water.
Increased productivity through innovation
Auto-Fill* means you can simply connect the machine to the water supply and let it automatically stop when the tank is full, freeing up your operators' time. Tank-rinsing ensures that the machine is quickly and effectively cleaned after use with the operator having no contact with dirty water.
Reduce water and detergent usage
Achieve more for less with Kärcher’s eco!efficiency mode which reduces energy, water and detergent consumption. Minimize wear and tear on the machine and lower noise levels, all at the turn of a dial.
