Industrial Cleaning Machine El Monte
Used Industrial Cleaning Machine El Monte - Commercial floor scrubbers provide an efficient, cost-effective and fast way to clean floor surfaces and are used for regular maintenance. Surveys reveal that labor expenses account for approximately 90% of the overall expense to maintain large floors surfaces. Commercial floor scrubbers provide a way to clean large areas quicker and with fewer workers.
There are a variety of automated commercial floor scrubbing models available on the market. Technology has advanced and commercial floor scrubbers have robotic upgrades to simplify their design.
These machines offer an automated system for evenly dispersing the cleaning compound at regular intervals. Behind the suction nozzle on the vacuum, a squeegee attachment can be located on automatic floor scrubbers to add to their cleaning capacity. These machines feature separate recovery or collection tanks. The cleaning mixture is held in the dispersing tank while the collection tank is home to the material gathered by the vacuum and the liquids accumulated there. This ensures that the clean water and dirty water are kept separate which makes floor scrubbers a more hygienic alternative to traditional cleaning methods such as a mop and bucket.
First, the automatic scrubber dispenses the cleaning solution and the scrubbing system is activated to loosen stains and dirt which are next suctioned into the collection tank of the machine when it passes over a location.
Automatic Floor Scrubber Head Types
There are three basic types of floor scrubber heads, square oscillating, cylindrical and rotary which are often called “discs”.
Rotary or Disk Floor Scrubber Head
The rotary or disk style floor scrubber head is the most common type of scrubber head. These models operate in a circular movement and some of their brushes or pads spin a cleaning compound into the floor prior to suction.
Cylindrical Floor Scrubber Head
A cylindrical floor scrubber model relies on counter-rotating tube brushes which rotate at a ninety-degree to the floor. This type of design allows for better cleaning of irregular or uneven locations. The cylindrical floor scrubbing machines often have a collection tray found behind the scrubber head to enable easier pickup of small items such as pebbles or nails. It is possible to clean numerous types of flooring thanks to the variety of brush types available. A softer brush can be used to clean rubber, textured tile and synthetic floors while a stiffer brush can be used for rough surfaces such as concrete and grouted tile.
Square Oscillating Floor Scrubber Head
There is a flat pad on square oscillating floor scrubbing models that vibrate at high speed to clean the floor. This square design enables faster and easier cleaning for corners and walls. Square scrubbing heads can be used with a specific stripping pad to take the floor finish away. They also work well for cleaning vinyl tile floors. Due to the high-speed oscillation, the square pads deliver more agitation and floor cleaning power. These square pads are useful for cleaning grouted tile.

Floor Scrubber Categories
Walk-Behind Floor Scrubbers
Walk behind floor scrubbers are equipped with a forward assist mechanism that gently propels the machine forward when the feature is enabled by the operator. The forward assist helps curb fatigue of the operator which allows the operator to continue for a longer period of time, reducing fatigue and greatly increasing efficiency when compared to traditional manual methods.
Stand-On Floor Scrubbers
Stand-on floor scrubbing models showcase more efficiency for cleaning larger locations in comparison to walk-behind units. These machines are more affordable than rider floor scrubber models. Stand-on floor scrubbers have greater maneuverability are usually more compact than a rider machine, enabling it to fit into locations that a rider unit would have a difficult time accessing. Stand-on units provide the operator with a better view compared to rider models and walk-behind machines.
Rider Floor Scrubbers
The rider units allow the operator to be seated while the machine is in operation. These machines clean in a similar manner and reduce operator fatigue due to their comfortable seating. This translates to an greater ability to cover very large areas quickly, offering approximately 65 percent greater efficiency than a walk-behind floor scrubber.
Robotic Floor Scrubbers
Technological design advancements within the field of autonomous robotics have helped to create a new army of floor-scrubbing machines. These robotic floor scrubbers were generated by merging the features of automatic floor scrubbers with robotic features of self-control operations without an operator. Commercial models are suitable for education, retail, healthcare and manufacturing facilities. Some models of commercial floor scrubbers can efficiently clean up to 10,000 square-feet in sixty minutes.
With continuous development in robotic technology, the advancement of robotic floor scrubbers will intensify over the years. Increased development projections include advanced sensors and computing mechanisms. Mobile robotic sensors enable today’s floor scrubbers to complete a wider detection range around objects and walls. This technology will help the machine note its location in expansive environments including shopping malls, airports and convention centers.
Early models of residential cleaning robots followed a random pattern when cleaning. However, commercial robotic floor scrubbers are now able to create an accurate plan for cleaning. This allows these robots to cover the entire floor in a predictable and consistent pattern each time they operate. Because of these advancing capabilities which allow these robotic floor scrubbers to know precisely where they have already cleaned and what areas they must still clean, they miss very few, if any, areas of the floor. Special sensors help the robotic floor scrubbers navigate around obstacles and people when they encounter any while operating autonomously.
Additional Floor Scrubber Options and Considerations
Hard to Reach Areas
It is difficult for floor scrubbing machines to reach certain corners, edges or around water fountains or similar fixtures. Typically, these locations would need to be cleaned with a mop and bucket if they could not accommodate the machine. There are oscillating brush decks available for certain floor scrubbing models to help them deal with hard-to-reach areas.
Pre-Sweeping and Vacuum System Maintenance
Newer floor scrubbers usually include an option that allows for a pre-sweep prior to the wet scrub. This feature allows for removal of debris before scrubbing without the need for a traditional broom or dry mop. The pre-sweep brush head and collection chamber is placed in front of the vacuum system to collect dust and loose debris before it is able to reach the the vacuum system. Blockages to the vacuum hose or motor are avoided with this pre-sweep brush head and collection design. It used to be commonplace to have the entire area first cleaned with a dry mop or broom to collect any debris or dust that might damage the unit or become lodged in the vacuum hose. Similar to residential vacuum systems, if a blockage happens, the vacuum hose may need to be removed to clear the area. The vacuum motor may need to be blown out with compressed air to dislodge the blockage.
Environmental Options
Environmentally friendly options are also available on some floor scrubbers. Features including water-saving systems, greywater reduction and safer soaps with fewer chemicals are available on some models. There are some floor scrubbers on the market with the capacity to clean with zero chemicals or water.
Solution Dispensing System Maintenance and Considerations
Stripping solutions are not compatible with most floor scrubbers as they can cause damage to the solution dispensing system. These solutions can be vacuumed up safely without causing damage to the machine. The solution system should be periodically flushed with a water and vinegar mixture to clean the system of any soap and calcium deposits that can accumulate in the solution system.
