Cleaning machines and robots explained
Sweepers, scrubber-dryers, combination machines and robots each solve something different. Here you will find a separate guide for each type and an overview to choose quickly.
Which solution fits you?
| Type | Suited for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Sweeper | Dry debris and dust on large areas | Not for wet soiling |
| Scrubber-dryer | Wet-cleaning floors and drying them at once | Floor must tolerate water, pre-sweeping helps |
| Combination machine | Sweeping and scrubbing in one pass on large floors | Larger, heavier, more maintenance |
| Sweeping robot | Daily autonomous sweeping in warehouses and halls | Set-up, safety, dry debris only |
| Scrubbing robot | Autonomous wet cleaning on fixed routes | Filling and emptying water, edges and corners |
| Hybrid automation | Sweeping and scrubbing robot in sequence | Planning, charging and route coordination |

Each type has its own guide covering how it works, uses, limitations and common questions.
Sweepers explained: types, uses and how to choose
A sweeper picks up dry debris quickly with little dust. This guide explains how it works, which types exist and when it is the right choice.

A scrubber-dryer scrubs the floor wet and immediately vacuums up the dirty water. The floor stays clean and dries quickly.
Read moreCombination sweeper-scrubbers explained: sweeping and scrubbing in one pass
A combination machine sweeps and scrubs in one pass. It saves time on large floors with mixed soiling, but needs space and maintenance.
Read moreSweeping robots explained: autonomous sweeping for warehouses and industry
A sweeping robot sweeps on its own along fixed routes. It is especially interesting for recurring, dry soiling on large floors.
Read moreScrubbing robots explained: autonomous wet cleaning
A scrubbing robot scrubs the floor wet on its own and vacuums up the dirty water. This gives an even result without an operator behind the machine.
Read moreHybrid automation: using a sweeping robot and a scrubbing robot together
Hybrid automation combines robots and machines: a sweeping robot first picks up the dry debris, then a scrubbing robot cleans the floor wet. This splits the work according to what each type does best.
