Nilfisk has launches its groundbreaking new SC550 walk-behind scrubber dryer.
The SC550 was created based on customer insights and aims to help organisations optimise cleaning processes through user-centric design, intuitive operation and sustainable technology.
The Nilfisk SC550 was first unveiled at the Interclean trade show in Amsterdam on 14 May 2024, and will be available for purchase in November 2024.
Designed with the user in mind, the Nilfisk SC550 ensures a seamless and intuitive cleaning experience that caters to the needs of diverse organisations and individual operators. This new machine addresses the industry’s challenges, including labour shortages and high staff turnover, by facilitating ease of use with minimal training required. Its ergonomic design makes it comfortable for the operator, and efficient use of resources makes it gentle on the planet.
Value-driving benefits of the Nilfisk SC550
Simple, intuitive usability: With onboard tutorials and maintenance guides, first-time operators can quickly master the SC550. The scrubber dryer features user-friendly controls and an intuitive interface that makes operation smooth and natural. Coloured touchpoints indicate where users should interact for efficient maintenance.
Adaptable design: We recognise that every organisation is unique, and so is every user. The SC550 features an adjustable steering column that adapts to the user’s size, and smart presets that can be customised to users’ language and skill level. Customers can choose between four scrubber brush types based on floor type and cleaning needs.
Reduced environmental impact: The SC550 tackles tough jobs while optimising the use of water, energy and detergent. Based on internal studies, it is 28% more energy efficient than previous models, and uses as much as 40% less water and 60% less detergent, compared to machines without similar technology. Nilfisk plans to incorporate up to 30% post-consumer recycled plastics into the SC550 by 2025, underlining the company’s commitment to sustainability.
Driven to help customers succeed
Amit Khamkar, SVP, Global Head of Product Portfolio at Niflisk, said: “At Nilfisk, we are driven to provide our customers with innovations that help them succeed. The SC550 is the first example of how we are meeting the changing needs of the global cleaning industry. Regardless of their role or industry focus, we want the people who interact with our machines to perform at their best and achieve immaculate results with minimal environmental impact. The SC550 is a testament to this, combining usability with advanced cleaning technology and optimised resource usage.”
