Scrubber Dryer FAQ

What is a scrubber dryer?

A scrubber dryer scrubs the floor and recovers dirty water in one pass, helping the floor become usable again faster than manual mopping.

Why is recovery tank capacity important?

The recovery tank determines how much wastewater the machine can collect before draining. If it is too small, operators must stop before the route is finished.

What affects drying performance?

Squeegee condition, vacuum strength, hose sealing, floor flatness, speed and detergent residue all affect how dry the floor becomes after one pass.

Are scrubber dryers suitable for hospitals?

They can be suitable in corridors and public areas when noise, drying quality, hygiene workflow and operator training are properly controlled.

Can scrubber dryers clean oily floors?

They can help after pre-treatment, but heavy oil or grease often needs a dedicated degreasing process before normal scrubbing.

How do I choose battery runtime?

Match runtime to the cleaning route, shift length, charging window and availability of backup machines or batteries.

What consumables should be stocked?

Common consumables include brushes, pads, squeegee rubber, filters, hoses and selected battery-related parts.

What causes foam in the recovery tank?

Excess detergent, wrong chemical choice or residue on the floor can create foam. Use compatible detergent and follow dosing guidance.

How does a squeegee affect drying?

The squeegee must keep even contact with the floor so the vacuum system can recover wastewater. Cuts, curling, poor angle or debris under the rubber often leave wet streaks.

What is the difference between solution and recovery tanks?

The solution tank holds clean water or detergent solution. The recovery tank collects dirty water. Both sizes must fit the route so operators do not stop too often.

Why does a battery scrubber run shorter than before?

Short runtime may come from aging batteries, poor charging habits, changed route length, excessive brush pressure or charger problems. Track runtime trends before replacing parts.

Is low noise important for scrubber dryers?

Low noise is important in hospitals, schools, malls and public areas. Buyers should check the product noise level and whether cleaning occurs during operating hours.
