Why Battery-Powered Floor Scrubbers are the Future Trend?
Industry Trend Driven
- With the development of industrial automation and intelligence, cleaning equipment is transitioning from traditional plug-in to efficient, flexible, and sustainable battery driven modes. In the global industrial cleaning market, over 75% new floor scrubbers use battery driven systems.
Improved Flexibility and Security
- Traditional wired floor scrubbers are limited by power cords, which not only affects the cleaning range but also poses safety risks. Battery floor scrubbers have the advantages of being free from wires, no need to look for sockets, no tangled wires, and no risk of electric leakage.
Environmental Protection and Energy Saving
- With the improvement of global environmental regulations and corporate ESG standards, more and more cleaning equipment is adopting zero emission designs. Moreover, The battery powered floor scrubber has the characteristics of no exhaust emissions and lower noise.
Lower Operating Costs
Although the initial investment for battery floor scrubber is slightly higher, the long-term usage cost is lower. According to user data analysis, using battery floor scrubbers can save 25-40% of operating costs within 3-5 years.
7 Points for Choosing an Industrial Floor Scrubber Machine
Cleaning Area & Application
- Narrow areas → Walk-behind floor scrubbers
- Large open spaces → Ride-on floor scrubbers
Power Source: Battery vs. Corded
- Battery floor scrubbers are flexible and convenient, but needs charging time
- Plug-in type has low cost but limited range of movement
Tank Capacity
- Small (<30L): For small areas, choose to use a manual floor scrubber
- Medium (30–60L): Standard size, Optional driving floor scrubber
- Large (>70L):For industrial use, choose the industrial floor scrubber
Brush Type & Pressure
- Use a disc brush for smooth floors, and a roller brush for rough floors
- Adjustable brush pressure prevents damage and improves cleaning results
Battery Life & Charging Time
