Features and Technologies
How exactly do scrubber dryers work?
All modern scrubber dryers with a roller or disc brush head essentially work in the same way. The cleaning solution is mixed either in the fresh water tank when cleaning agents are added to it or, in the case of automatic dosing systems, just in front of the brush head itself. The rotation and contact pressure of the brush work together to remove dirt. Thanks to the turbine's suction power, the dirty water is then absorbed by the squeegee and collected in the dirty water tank. Scrubbers on the other hand do not have a turbine or a squeegee. This is why loosened dirt is collected by, for example, Kärcher's wet and dry vacuum cleaners afterwards.
But not all scrubber dryers are the same
Scrubber dryers are like cars – they all work the same, yet not every model is suited to each area of application. Yet thanks to different designs, sizes, brush head systems and drive technologies, it is very easy to find a machine that exactly matches your individual requirements. You know how large your surfaces are and whether they are filled with objects or not. You know the structure of your floors and their degree of soiling. And we have the right floor cleaning machine for what you need. Promise.

Benefits of Using Kärcher Floor Scrubbers & Scrubber Driers

- Increased Efficiency: By combining scrubbing and drying in one pass, Kärcher scrubber driers reduce cleaning time and labor costs. Their efficient operation means less downtime for maintenance.
- Hygienic Surfaces: Kärcher scrubbers are designed to maintain hygienic surfaces, crucial in environments like healthcare facilities, food processing plants, and schools where cleanliness is paramount.

Areas of Application
Industrial Settings
For heavy-duty cleaning tasks in industrial environments, Kärcher scrubbers are up to the challenge:
- Manufacturing Plants: Remove stubborn grease and grime from factory floors.
- Warehouses: Keep large areas clean and safe for workers and equipment.
- Airports: Ensure high traffic areas are clean and dry for travelers.
Commercial Spaces
Kärcher floor scrubbers and scrubber driers are ideal for maintaining cleanliness in a variety of commercial environments, including:
- Retail Stores: Ensure spotless floors that enhance the shopping experience.
- Offices: Maintain a clean and professional appearance in office spaces.
- Hospitals: Uphold stringent hygiene standards in healthcare facilities.
- Educational Institutions: Keep schools and universities safe and clean for students and staff.
A scrubber dryer with a roller brush head is especially suitable for extensive deep cleaning of structured and heavily soiled floors thanks to its high brush speeds and a higher contact pressure per cm². This brush head technology also offers substantial advantages when dealing with coarse dirt as the contra-rotating rollers absorb the particles, which are then fed back to the coarse dirt container. This means that pre-sweeping as a previous work step is no longer needed.
Scrubber dryers with disc brush heads are generally used for maintenance cleaning and light soiling. These floor cleaning machines are especially popular for smooth floors and noise-sensitive areas, such as in hospitals or the hotel and gastronomy sector.
Choosing the Right Model Scrubber Dryers For Right Place
Which energy source for which scrubber dryer?
Depending on size and model, Kärcher's scrubber dryers are mains-operated, battery-powered or engine-driven. Here too the following applies: the application plays a key role in deciding what the most sensible drive technology is for you.
Available in the compact classes and in walk-behind scrubber dryers only, mains-powered (i.e. corded) machines are affordable and ideal for cleaning smaller indoor areas outside of business hours.
Battery-powered scrubber dryers offer maximum flexibility and prevent tripping hazards. Great and small: Kärcher offers battery-powered versions in every design.
We recommend our environmentally friendly combustion engine versions (diesel or LPG) for large outdoor or well-ventilated indoor areas. Combustion engine floor cleaning machines by Kärcher are only available in the ride-on scrubber dryer design.
Scrubber dryers with or without integrated traction drive?
Comfort, weight and user-friendliness are crucial factors in deciding whether the machine should be equipped with or without integrated traction drive. A lighter scrubber dryer with a tank volume of up to approx. 50 litres can easily be operated without traction drive. We recommend integrated traction drive on larger models as it is not possible to operate a machine of that size using your own body weight for longer periods of time without tiring.
Floor cleaning machines without traction motors use the rotation of the brushes to move the machine forwards. The amount of effort required by the operator to do so is kept to a minimum.
The active and adjustable traction motor on a floor cleaning machine with traction drive, on the other hand, moves the machine forwards, making very long periods of operation possible without tiring.
Scrubber dryers tailored to you
A Kärcher floor cleaning machine can also be used for special applications, such as crystallisation or coating removal, if equipped with the right accessories. As well as making sure that the availability of all wear parts is a given, we also offer an extensive range of pads, disc and roller brushes, suction lips, squeegees, batteries and battery chargers, equipping your machine for your exact cleaning requirements. Various attachment kits, such as our Home Base Kit, for easily transporting manual cleaning tools are also available. So you receive a scrubber dryer that is tailored to your exact needs.
Cleaning Agent
The right cleaning agent for your scrubber dryer
Regardless of floor type, floor cleaning machine or level of dirt, Kärcher offers a breadth of cleaning agents developed to meet your various requirements perfectly. Not only economical in use and highly effective against every type of dirt, but also environmentally friendly and gentle enough to meet the latest standards in research, of course.
Efficient germ reduction for increased hygiene requirements
Our attachment kit for scrubber dryers for disinfecting surfaces using a spray helps you achieve a whole new cleaning level with little money and material. Dispensing suitable disinfectant via the spray lance or hand nozzle can effectively reduce the number of germs on floors, walls and furniture. Observing applicable guidelines, it is possible to achieve professional spray disinfection using suitable disinfectant. The accessories are suitable for use in train stations, airports, offices and commercial buildings, retirement and care facilities, nurseries, schools, swimming pools and sports facilities. Retrofitting is currently possible for both the B 150 R and B 200 R scrubber dryers.
