Scrubber dryers are ideal for cleaning small areas quickly.
They optimise productivity and hygiene, and offer true one-pass cleaning. Ideal
for the retail, medical and leisure sectors as well as numerous other
commercial and industrial settings, scrubber dryers make a worthwhile long term
investment. But where to start when choosing the right model?
Key Questions for the Scrubber Dryer Buyer to Consider
Your decision making process when buying a commercial
scrubber dryer will involve asking yourself the following questions:
1.
What is the size of the area that needs to be
cleaned?
2.
Is access limited or are there any particularly
narrow walkways to be cleaned?
3.
Are there plenty of power points available, or
is connecting to power an issue?
4.
Is flexibility required where transporting the
cleaner is concerned?
5.
What is the available budget?
Which Type of Scrubber Dryer?
There is a variety of types of scrubber dryer with further options within each category. The type you go for will very much depend upon the individual requirements of your premises and of course your cleaning needs.
Multi Wash Scrubber Dryers
Multi wash scrubber dryers wash, mop, scrub and dry both
hard and soft floor coverings in a single pass. The Truvox
Multiwash Scrubber Dryer is a popular model in this category. Offering high
speed productivity and excellent manoeuvrability as well as the ability to
tackle even the most challenging floors such as non-slip safety flooring, low
pile carpets, escalators and travelators and entrance mats, it also has the
advantage of being quiet in operation. Ideal for environments where walkways
need to be washed and dried swiftly, the Truvox Multiwash leaves floors clean
and ready to walk on in minutes. A range of cleaning widths is available as is
a choice of brushes covering regular maintenance cleaning and intensive
scrubbing.

Mains Operated Scrubber Dryers – Compact
If there are tricky to access areas that need to be cleaned within
your property, then a compact mains operated model should prove the right
choice. The Numatic
TT1535 Twintec Scrubber Dryer is one such example. Specifically designed to
be compact and simple to manoeuvre, the fact it is the smallest in the Numatic
Twintec range has no bearing on its power and performance. This cleaner has large
transit wheels which make it an easy task to move from location to location,
together with a power brush backed by a 400 watt motor to guarantee exceptional
deep cleaning performance. And that’s not all: there are also twin water pickup
nozzles powered by a 1000 watt vacuum motor which allow multi-directional
operation, something that is essential for the cleaning of narrow aisles and
walkways.

Mains Operated Scrubber Dryers – Heavy Duty
When serious power and volume are important, you’ll need to
look at the larger styles. If access to power points is not an issue, go for a
mains operated model. The Numatic
TT6650s is a large single tank scrubber dryer with exceptional power
transmission. There’s a 1200 watt brush motor backed by a high performance 1200
watt twinflo vacuum system, all mounted on a sturdy stainless steel chassis. The
dirty water tank offers a 60 litre capacity and the large, heavy duty scrubbing
head sports a patented design that allows for easy brush changing, transit and
storage.

Ride On Scrubber Dryers
Where there is a particularly expansive area to clean, a
ride-on scrubber dryer is a worthwhile investment, saving time and offering a
greater degree of safety for the operator. The Numatic
Twintec Vario Ride-On Scrubber Dryer offers the flexibility of being able
to clean at three different widths with a mere flick of a switch. It’s a
programmable model allowing a series of pre-sets that allow a variety of
settings to be programmed into the memory. Cleaning speed, water flow and
chemical mix are all at the operator’s control.

Battery Operated Scrubber Dryers
Where access to power points is an issue, or simply where
flexibility to allow movement up and down staircases, escalators or in lifts is
essential, battery operated scrubber dryers provide the ideal solution. There
are numerous models to choose from offering a range of power levels and features.
Numatic offers a wide choice in its Twintec range, including amongst others a 17”
model, a 21”
model and, the largest of the range, the traction
model which features a 20 watt traction power drive system with variable
forward speeds plus a reverse which assists in reducing operator fatigue.

The iMop

degree of flexibility is extensive, allowing the user to clean in and around
tight and difficult to access areas. Cordless and weighing in at just 18 Kgs,
it is the lightest cleaning tool within its category. According to iMop,
average labour savings return the initial investment within the first 150 hours
