Keeping floors clean is an integral part of any facilities managers to do list. It guarantees a safe and hygienic workplace which is mandatory in today’s era. To ensure that the work is done efficiently and without wasting resources, cleaning machines are an ideal solution, allowing cleaners to cover a wider surface area for an effective all round clean.

Cost effective solutions are in high demand amongst facilities managers as they look for the optimum price to performance ratio. With these goals in mind and to support facilities mangers, Kärcher has developed its new Classic floorcare range. Designed for those looking for a minimalist yet effective solution to their floorcare needs, this range keeps the costs down and aids maintenance since the machines use fewer parts to achieve quality results.

The Classic range features four scrubber dryers of varying sizes, ideal for floorcare maintenance for all surface areas. Each of the scrubber dryers has been constructed with simplicity and robustness in mind, allowing facilities managers to clean for longer, avoid downtime, and save on training costs.

Kärcher recognised that most walk-behind scrubber dryers suffer from damage to the brush head as they collide with obstacles during the cleaning process. This tends to result in a period of downtime as the operator awaits new parts to repair the machine. To counteract this, Kärcher has included a die-cast aluminium cover that encases the brush head with a 7mm lip to stop it from clashing with objects, ensuring that the operator can keep cleaning for longer. Once the scrubber brush becomes worn from cleaning, the deck sizes are standardised to help operators easily source parts that can be fitted within minutes. They also come with a wear indicator to show when a new brush is needed.

Further boosting the robustness of the scrubber dryer is the newly developed suction bar at the rear of the machine that allows for a tool free removal and replacement. Another key component of any scrubber dryer that can easily be damaged by colliding with other objects during the cleaning process, Kärcher’s intuitive design ensures that the suction bar is fully protected to avoid damage. With an extruded aluminium cover around the bar alongside two-compound deflection wheels, users can be safe in the knowledge that should the bar collide with an object during use it will be able to keep going and will not result in down-time for the machine.

The EASY operational panel has three cleaning programs to make it easier for the operator to get going with the job at hand. Simply turn the dial to the desired cleaning mode and begin for an easy cleaning process. The scrubbing deck and the brush are manually positioned using levers on the machine, allowing the user to easily set them at the right height for different flooring heights offering greater flexibility.

The added reliability and intuitive nature of the machine works alongside the Classic ranges high-performance qualities. Featuring large tank capacities of up to 100 litres helping operators to cover a greater surface area, a huge battery compartment that carries standard batteries offering upwards of three and a half hours runtime, high manoeuvrability, adjustable brush pressure to help remove stubborn dirt, and a carefully designed suction bar for perfect suction, even while turning on a spot. Combined with Kärcher’s range of floorcare detergents, such as Kärcher’s FloorPro Cleaner CA 50 C eco!perform, for an effective and efficient clean, simplicity does not mean that performance must suffer with the new classic floorcare range.

The compact design of the classic range makes them easier to manoeuvre, whilst the operator can also look beyond the end of the machine to avoid any clashes with nearby objects. This allows for a closer clean to edges, reducing the need to go back and re-touch surface edges.

Taking the best of the high-end products on the market and putting them into a compact, user-friendly, and reliable cleaning machine, as evident in Kärcher’s Classic range, offers an incredible price-performance ratio. Cost savings and minimising potential hazards due to reduced down time, less confusion amongst staff and outstanding performance, Kärcher’s latest floorcare range is ideal for any cleaning solution.
