The use of a brush on an automatic scrubber is standard equipment that comes with most machines to meet the majority of cleaning tasks.
Each brand generally has a specific engagement system, which makes it almost impossible to interchange the plate and brush accessories from one brand to another.
Brush brand compatibility for floor scrubbers
Each brand develops a range of machines with a specific brush or disc holder plate locking and engagement system. Therefore, it is absolutely essential to check the compatibility grids of the brushes and plate with your machine, whether it is a scrubber dryer or a single-brush machine.
Nilfisk floor scrubber brush dimensions and compatibility
Nilfisk offers traditional flat round brush scrubbers but also roller brushes on models like the SC100 or the SC250.
There are 5 standard diameters in flat brushes for Nilfisk floor scrubbers and single-brush machines. The dimensions are: 305 mm (12 inches), 355 mm (14 inches), 370 mm (14.5 inches), 430 mm (17 inches) and 530 mm (21 inches).
For roller brushes there are 3 lengths: 310 mm, 330 mm and 340 mm.
Nilfisk scrubber dryer (and single-brush) brush textures vary to suit different floor types. It is important to choose the right brush texture to avoid either not achieving the desired cleaning result or damaging your floor and/or machine by forcing it to withstand too much engine torque.
