Ride-on scrubber drier

Maintaining floors and large areas such as supermarkets, warehouses, gymnasiums, function rooms, shopping centers, exhibition halls , etc. is an essential task to facilitate the provision of permanently clean premises. To facilitate this task, ride-on scrubber dryers have become essential equipment.

Why choose a ride-on scrubber dryer rather than a walk-behind scrubber dryer?

Numatic a benchmark in ride-on scrubber dryers

Numatic is a renowned manufacturer of scrubber dryers, particularly ride-on scrubber dryers.
The range has been completely revised and is available in graphite color and increasingly in recycled plastic called "ReFlo".
The CRG8055/120T scrubber dryer has a working width starting at 550 mm and is affordable for this type of equipment. This type of machine is ultra-maneuverable and ultra-compact, with working comfort adapted to the user. The CRG8072/120T offers a working width of 720 mm with a battery life of up to 3 hours.

What surface should be cleaned with the scrubber dryer?

The layout of the area to be cleaned, both in terms of dimensions and the geometry and footprint of the premises, will be the first points to check. The size of the surface as well as its footprint will play a determining role in the choice of your scrubber dryer. Indeed, do not forget that a ride-on scrubber dryer is bulky and has less maneuverability than a compact scrubber dryer.
For this reason, a ride-on scrubber dryer is suitable for open cleaning areas , such as hallways or shopping malls. It offers a long operating life and is suitable for large areas. On the other hand, if you need to clean cluttered environments, such as convenience stores, small workshops, or classrooms, a walk-behind scrubber dryer will be more suitable. A battery-powered or cable-powered walk-behind scrubber dryer is more maneuverable and can effectively clean tight spaces.

How much time do you have available and therefore what productivity do you expect?

Productivity, and therefore the time available to treat the surface, is an important criterion when choosing the type of scrubber-dryer. A ride-on scrubber-dryer will have greater productivity and will therefore be more suitable for large surfaces to be cleaned. In addition, the fact that the operator is seated or carried by the machine will allow them to treat a larger surface area with less fatigue. If you have a large surface area to maintain regularly, a ride-on scrubber-dryer will save you time and be more efficient. And again, if your surface area is smaller, a walk-behind scrubber-dryer will already offer sufficient productivity.

Choosing a ride-on scrubber dryer may not be the right choice even for large areas. A ride-on scrubber dryer offers maximum performance but less flexibility in terms of use in some cases. If you have a large area but some areas are difficult to access, choosing two or more walk-behind scrubber dryers can be a solution by offering more flexibility. In this case, it may be wise to have two walk-behind scrubber dryers rather than one ride-on scrubber dryer. This will allow you to effectively clean all areas, even the most restricted ones. It also allows you to have a cleaning solution available at all times in the event of a breakdown on one of the machines.
Again, it also depends on the time allowed to treat the surface. The re-use of premises, especially in a shopping center, leaves little time for floor treatment.

Frequently asked questions about the ride-on scrubber dryer

My ride-on scrubber dryer leaves wet marks, what should I do?

The floor is made dry after the passage of a scrubber dryer mainly linked to the action of the suction (suction motor) and the scraper with rubber slats at the rear of your machine.
So there can be several causes:
-> Your slats are worn and no longer ensure a perfect connection with the floor
-> Your floor is uneven with holes or grooves in the tiles
-> Your suction filter upstream of the engine is clogged or poorly cleaned
-> Your suction hose that comes from the nozzle is partially blocked with waste

My scrubber dryer shuts off when the dirty water tank is full even though it is not full.

You're probably using a cleaning product that's too foamy and is generating foam in the recovery tank, which is causing the water level to rise artificially. Also check whether the full tank contactor is not poorly cleaned or still very wet.
The solution is to use a special professional floor scrubber cleaner .
