The advantages of using a compact Scrubber Dryer for small spaces

Posted on by

As businesses and facilities become more conscious of cleanliness and hygiene, the demand for effective floor cleaning solutions is now more important than ever. In small spaces, the traditional mop and bucket method is not only time-consuming, but incredibly inefficient.

For cleaning small spaces, a compact Scrubber Dryer can be the ideal solution for cleaning floors quickly and efficiently. In this blog post, we will explore the advantages of using a compact Scrubber Dryer for small spaces.

The Victor Compact Scrubber Dryer Range ideal for small spaces

1. Efficient Cleaning

A compact Scrubber Dryer can clean small spaces quickly and efficiently, reducing the time and effort required for cleaning. The Victor Scrubber Dryer range offers machines with cleaning widths as narrow as 33cm, making them ideal for tight spaces.

2. Ease of use

A compact Scrubber Dryer is designed to be easy to use and manoeuvrable. They tend to lighter than more cumbersome options, which make them easier to use. The Victor range feature front-mounted brushes which helps achieve edge-to-edge. This feature ensures that every corner is reached with out the need to detailing tools.

3. Reduced Transmission and Battery Size

A compact Scrubber Dryer, like the Victor SD12 and SD20 models, have reduced transmission and battery sizes, making them smaller and lighter than traditional models. This reduction in size allows them to fit into tight spaces and reduces the effort required to move them around.

4. Economical

Compact Scrubber Dryers consume less water and cleaning solution than traditional methods, making them more economical to run. The Victor Scrubber Dryer range offers a dosing system which mixed the chemical with water at source, reducing the amount of cleaning solution needed to clean small areas.

5. Improved Safety

Traditional mop and bucket cleaning methods can leave floors wet and slippery, increasing the risk of accidents. Compact Scrubber Dryers, like those in the Victor range, are designed to clean floors quickly and efficiently, leaving them dry and reducing the risk of slips and falls.

6. Versatility

Compact Scrubber Dryers, like the Victor SD40 and SD50 models, are versatile machines that can be used on a variety of floor surfaces, including tiles, safety flooring, vinyl, and concrete. This versatility makes them ideal for use in a range of facilities, including hospitals, schools, and offices.

7. Time-saving

In small spaces, time is of the essence, and a compact Scrubber Dryer can help you clean floors quickly, leaving them dry and ready to use in no time. The Victor Scrubber Dryer range feature both dual brushes and faster RPMs than the industry standard, allowing operatives to clean twice the space in half the time.

8. Better Cleaning Results

Traditional cleaning methods such as a traditional mop and bucket can leave behind dirt and grime. The mop and bucket tends to move dirt around, which can lead to staining and discoloration over time. A Compact Scrubber Dryers put water and solution onto the floor, scrub and then the squeegee and vacuum take the dirty water at source. Because Scrubber dryers remove the dirty water, they remove even the most stubborn stains, leaving floors looking like new.

9. Reduced Labour Costs

Using a compact Scrubber Dryer can reduce the labour costs associated with traditional cleaning methods. With the Victor Scrubber Dryer range, a single operator can clean small spaces quickly and efficiently, reducing the need for additional staff.

10. Easy Maintenance

The Victor Scrubber Dryer range has been designed for easy maintenance, with features such as wide-opening tanks for easy cleaning and brush replacement. Routine maintenance can be carried out quickly and easily, reducing downtime and ensuring your machines are always in top condition.

In conclusion, a compact Scrubber Dryer is an ideal solution for cleaning small spaces quickly and efficiently. The Victor Scrubber Dryer range offers a variety of machines with different tank sizes and cleaning widths, making them suitable for a range of applications.

How to maintain a Scrubber Dryer

A Scrubber Dryer is a vital investment for any business looking to keep their floors clean and hygienic. Whether you’re running a small warehouse or a large commercial facility, regular maintenance and servicing are essential to ensure your Scrubber Dryer stays working efficiently and effectively.

Below we’ll share ten tips for maintaining and servicing your to keep it in top condition for longer.

1. Regular Maintenance Checks

Maintenance checks are ideally carried out after use, monthly and annually. This will not only prolong the life of the Scrubber Dryer, but also ensure safety for other users.

Basics daily checks would ideally include:

  • Is the machine clean?
  • Has the recovery tank been emptied?
  • Is the clean water tank empty?
  • Are there any signs of wear to the brushes/ pads or brushes?
  • Is the Squeegee clean and making good contact with the floor?
  • Is there any obvious damage to the machine which need reporting before use?
  • Is the machine fully charged (If battery Scrubber Dryer)?
  • Is the mains cable in good condition and without damage (if a mains Scrubber Dryer)?

2. Follow the Manufacturer’s Instructions

Before operating your Scrubber Dryer, make sure you read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions. This will ensure you are using the machine correctly and not causing unnecessary damage.

3. Clean the Machine After Use

After each use, it’s important to clean your Scrubber Dryer thoroughly. Use a mild detergent and warm water to clean the brushes, squeegee, and tank. This will prevent any dirt or debris from building up and prolong the life of your machine.

4. Check the Water Tank

Check the water tank before each use andmake sure it’s topped up with clean water. This will ensure your machine is working at maximum efficiency and prevent any damage to the water pump. If the machine is only used periodically, the clean water / solution tank should be kept empty to minimise damage to the machine and prevent water becoming stagnant.

Inspect the brushes on your Scrubber Dryer regularly to make sure they are clean and free from any damage. If the brushes become worn or damaged, they will need to be replaced.

6. Check the Squeegee Blades

Check the squeegee blades on your machine regularly to ensure they are not worn or damaged. If the squeegee blades are damaged, they will not be able to pick up the water effectively and can cause streaking.

7. Lubricate Moving Parts

Lubricate the moving parts on your Scrubber Dryer regularly to prevent any friction and wear. Use a silicone-based lubricant and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

8. Check the Battery

If your Scrubber Dryer has a battery, make sure you check the battery level regularly. Most modern machines will have a battery indicator to show the remaining charge.

9. Check the Filters

Check the filters on your Scrubber Dryer regularly to make sure they are clean and free from any debris. Dirty filters can reduce the efficiency of your machine and cause damage to the motor.

15 Reasons to Choose Victor Scrubber Dryer: Innovative Features for Efficient Cleaning

Have you seen our Scrubber Dryer range yet?

 

We launched our new scrubber dryer range in 2021, and they have been incredibly popular thanks to some innovative new features. In case you aren’t familiar with all the benefits that the new Victor scrubber dryer range has to offer, we thought we’d outline them in a short blog post.

 

So here they are, 15 reasons why the Victor Scrubber Dryer range could be the best commercial scrubber dryer for you.

 

1. Simple to use

One of the most stand-out features of the Victor scrubber dryer range is the focus on usability. As with all Victor floorcare products, these scrubber dryers have been designed to be simple to use to ensure operatives can spend longer cleaning, rather than trying to understand multiple complicated settings. All settings on the Victor Scrubber Dryer range can be operated with just two buttons. One for dosing the solution flow, the other for Eco or Max modes. You can also easily check the battery status, the remaining runtime and the remaining solution flow.

2. Easy and cost effective to maintain

At Victor we believe that commercial cleaning equipment should stand the test of time, even in the most demanding commercial environments. One of the keys to long-lasting cleaning equipment is proper maintenance.

These Scrubber Dryers have been designed to be incredibly simple to maintain, thus improving the machine longevity and reducing the lifetime cost. Routine maintenance tasks such as squeegee replacement, cleaning the clean-water filter and replacing brushes is fast and easy. The wide opening of the recovery tank makes it easy to access and clean to a high standard.

3. A single motor is all that is needed

Most Scrubber dryers have 2 or 3 motors to drive the brushes and the vacuum. These motors are not only expensive to replace but drain the battery quickly. We have reduced the need for extra motors with cog driven brushes, so a single motor can power up to 4 brushes. Our 48v motors are incredibly efficient and waste very little energy in the form of heat. This allows Victor commercial scrubber dryers to run multiple cog driven brushes and the vacuum off the same motor.

4. Twin Brush Design

The patented toothed twin brush design has simplified the transmission to a single motor, thus increasing productivity and battery run times. Utilising multiple brushes increases the cleaning surface area and gives an all-round better clean than the industry-standard single brush design.

5. Higher rpm (Cleans double the m² in the same time)

The brushes on a Victor Scrubber Dryer rotate at an RPM of 340 which is almost twice that of the industry standard. Rotating twice the speed means cleaning double the m² in the same time.

 

6. Super slimline & Lightweight

The motor tends to be the bulkiest part of any commercial scrubber dryer. As Victor scrubber dryers have just one motor these Scrubber dryers benefit from a super slimline design when compared with the same litreage machine. This results in Victor commercial floor scrubbers being incredibly lightweight (just 66kg on a 50L machine) and easy to manoeuvre around tight spaces such as retail environments or washrooms.

 

7. Longer Runtimes

Long-life lithium batteries and innovation to conserve energy have resulted in prolonged runtimes when compared to other commercial scrubber dryers. The average runtime across the Victor walk behind scrubber dryer range is 4 hours, depending on the cleaning mode.

8. Fast Charge Batteries

Our fast charge batteries are fully charged in half the time of the industry standard. The average runtime across the Victor walk behind scrubber dryer range is just 2 hours.

9. High Brush Head Pressure

Ideal for heavy-duty and deep cleaning, the Victor Scrubber dryer range has a downforce of up to 30kg. Alternatively this can be reduced for lighter cleaning tasks.

 

10. Squeegee mounted in front of the wheels

A common problem with scrubber dryers is wet wheels. Not only can wet wheels affect the finish of a clean floor, but they can also be prone to skidding and slipping. By moving the squeegee blade in front of the wheels, the wheels on a Victor Scrubber Dryer never get wet, thus reducing slip hazards and ensuring a perfect finish every time.

11. Brushes mounted at the front of the Scrubber dryer

There were 2 things we didn’t like about traditional under belly brushes.

Firstly, the operative couldn’t see the brush very easily. This mean it was difficult to see if there was a blockage or another problem with the brushes.

Secondly, edge to edge cleaning was impossible. Even if the unit touched the wall, the cleaning brush would be nowhere near the wall.

 

By moving the brushes to the front of the machine, the operative can easily see what they are doing and easily achieve edge to edge cleaning.

12. Available in 3 sizes + Ride-on Version

The Victor Scrubber Dryer range is available in 3 popular sizes:

  • The SD20 features a 20l recovery tank. This makes the SD20 the ideal compact scrubber dryer for cleaning surfaces from 250 – 1000 m2 and can clean up to 2,400 m2 on a single charge. (2,400 m2 on Eco Mode, 1,700 m2 on Max)
  • The SD40 features a 40l recovery tank. This makes the SD40 the ideal compact scrubber dryer for cleaning surfaces from 1000 – 2000m2 and can clean up to 6,000m2 on a single charge. (6,000m2 on Eco Mode, 4,500m2 on max)
  • The SD50 features a 50l recovery tank. This makes the SD50 the ideal compact scrubber dryer for cleaning surfaces from 1000 – 2000m2 and can clean up to 8,400m2 on a single charge. (8,400m2 on Eco Mode, 6,300m2 on max)

13. Lithium-Ion (Li-NCA) batteries

There are many advantages of using Lithium-Ion (Li-NCA) batteries as opposed to AGM or Gel batteries.

– They are incredibly lightweight and compact in size small size.

– They have a very low self-discharge rate, meaning they last much longer.

– Lithium-Ion batteries charge cycles (1,000) much higher than traditional AGM or Gel batteries.

 

 

14. Incredibly quiet

Thanks to just a single motor, the Victor scrubber dryer range has a maximum sound output of just 66.6 decibels, reducing to 64.6 decibels in eco mode. This makes them ideal for cleaning hospital floors or other areas where quiet night time cleaning is essential.

15. Three Year warranty

And finally, these Scrubber dryers have been built to last. We are so confident they will stand the test of time, even in a demanding commercial environment, that we offer 3 years warranty as standard on the SD20, SD40 and the SD50.
