How Does a Floor Scrubber Dryer Work?

Wash

The cleaning solution is dispensed from the machine, applied to the scrubbing brush, and then spread across the floor surface.

Scrub

The combination of cleaning solution and intense scrubbing action provides a deep clean of the floor surface, effectively removing dirt and grime.

Dry

Powerful vacuum suction is applied, and with the help of squeegee blades, waste is efficiently removed from the floor, leaving it dry.

Clean

This simultaneous one-machine process guarantees that floor surfaces are clean, dry, and safe.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions: Industrial Floor Scrubber Dryers

What is the difference between a floor scrubber dryer and a floor buffer?

A floor buffer (or polisher) is designed to rotate a pad to shine or strip a floor, often requiring a separate vacuum to pick up waste. A scrubber dryer is an all-in-one system that dispenses water/chemical, scrubs the floor with high pressure, and immediately vacuums the dirty residue into a recovery tank, leaving the floor bone-dry and safe to walk on instantly.

How do I choose between a walk-behind and a ride-on scrubber dryer?

The choice is dictated by square footage (m2) and layout.Walk-behind (pedestrian) models are best for areas under 1,500m2or tight spaces like retail aisles and corridors.Ride-on scrubber dryers are recommended for large-scale warehouses or expansive areas (over 1,500m2) as they significantly reduce operator fatigue and increase productivity by up to 400%.

Can I use a scrubber dryer on any floor type?

Most industrial floor scrubbers are highly versatile and safe for use on sealed wood, polished concrete, vinyl (LVT), tiled floors, and epoxy resin. However, the key is the brush or pad selection. Soft brushes are required for delicate surfaces, while aggressive grit-brushes or pads are used for heavy-duty concrete cleaning. We can advise on the most suitable scrubbing brush or pad holder drive board selection.

Is it better to have a Disc or Cylindrical brush system?

Disc Brushes: The most common choice for general scrubbing and flat surfaces. They provide excellent downward pressure for removing stains.

Cylindrical Brushes: These are superior for structured, grouted and uneven floors. They have a "pre-sweep" function, meaning they can pick up small debris (like wood chips or grit) while scrubbing, preventing the squeegee from getting blocked.

How do I prevent my scrubber dryer from smelling?

Odours are caused by bacteria buildup in the recovery tank. After every shift, the recovery tank must be drained and rinsed thoroughly with clean water. We also recommend leaving the tank lid slightly ajar when the machine is not in use to allow airflow and prevent stagnant smells.

Do I need special chemicals for my floor scrubber?

Yes. You must use low-foaming detergents. Standard soaps or high-foam detergents can create excessive foam suds that will be sucked into the vacuum motor, potentially causing expensive electrical damage.

How often should I replace the squeegee blades?

Squeegee blades are the most critical part for ensuring a dry floor. You should inspect them daily. Most blades are four-sided—if one edge is nicked or worn, you can simply flip it to a fresh edge. Typically, blades should be replaced every 3–6 months depending on the floor surface (rough concrete wears blades faster than smooth vinyl).
