PUDU SH1 Smart Upright Scrubber Dryer (10220-000006)

The dirtiest moment in floor care rarely happens on the floor. It comes at the end of the shift, at a sink or a drain, when someone has to tip out a tank of grey water mixed with grit, hair and food scraps. Upright scrubber dryers have made the cleaning itself quicker, yet that final step has stayed much as it always was. The PUDU SH1 Smart Upright Scrubber Dryer (10220-000006) makes its case at exactly that point. Its wastewater tank uses an air-solid-liquid separation system that parts gases, liquids and solid particles, so recovered dirt can be dealt with for what it is rather than as one murky slurry. Around that tank sits a compact upright machine rated at 1100-1600 m²/h, with 20000pa of suction and a body measuring 49 cm * 53 cm * 120 cm.

Robots Europa supplies the PUDU SH1 from Dublin to customers throughout the European Union and the DACH region. Robots Europa prepares the quotation for the configuration you choose, arranges delivery to your premises and remains your point of contact for support and consumables once the machine is in daily service.

Background

Pudu Robotics and a machine for the operator's hands

Pudu Robotics, a global leader in service robotics, is best known for machines that work on commercial floors without an operator. With the SH1, the company applies that experience to a format a member of staff guides by hand. Pudu presented the upgraded PUDU SH1 Smart Upright Scrubber Dryer at Interclean 2024, the international cleaning and hygiene trade show, and it is this upgraded generation that Robots Europa offers. Many cleaning teams now pair autonomous robots for long, open runs with a manual machine for the corners, short shifts and spot jobs that a robot is not scheduled for; Pudu's autonomous range can be found in the Cleaning Robots category.

Separation in the tank, quick release on the frame

Two design decisions define the SH1. The first is the wastewater tank, whose air-solid-liquid separation system divides what the squeegee recovers into its gaseous, liquid and solid parts. The second is a modular quick-release construction: the scrubbing brushes, squeegees, water tanks and batteries are all designed to be removed and refitted easily, so servicing becomes a routine task rather than a workshop job and the machine returns to the floor sooner. A 4.2-inch touch screen with visual and audio cues handles operation, giving the operator clear feedback without a manual to hand.

How does the air-solid-liquid separation tank change daily cleaning?

On a conventional scrubber dryer, everything the squeegee lifts ends up in one recovery tank: water, detergent, air drawn in by the vacuum and whatever solids were on the floor. Emptying it means pouring the lot away together and then rinsing out the residue that settles at the bottom. The SH1 separates gases, liquids and solid particles inside the tank itself. In practice, that matters most where floors carry more than dust: crumbs and spilt food in a restaurant, grit tracked in from a car park, packaging fragments in a stockroom. Keeping solids apart from the liquid makes the end-of-shift routine cleaner and quicker, and it reduces the chance of debris finding its way into a drain.

The separation tank also complements the quick-release frame. Because the water tanks lift out and go back without tools, the operator can empty, rinse and refit them in a short break, and the same applies to brushes, squeegees and batteries. For a site with one machine and several shifts, that turnaround is what keeps the scrubber dryer in use rather than parked in a cupboard.

How quiet is the PUDU SH1 during opening hours?

Noise determines when a machine can be used at all. The SH1 is rated at 72dB (A) in Standard Mode and 69dB (A) in ECO mode, so the operator can choose between the full cleaning setting and a quieter one. ECO mode suits periods when customers, patients or guests are present and a lower level of sound is preferred; Standard Mode is there for closed hours or heavier soiling. Because the machine scrubs and recovers water as it goes, the floor can be reopened quickly, which reduces the length of time an area needs to be cordoned off.

Who is the PUDU SH1 for?

The SH1 is designed for organisations that clean hard floors every day but have neither the space nor the floor area to justify a ride-on machine. Retailers can run it along aisles and around fixtures, where its 49 cm * 53 cm * 120 cm frame fits between displays. Restaurants, cafés and canteens benefit most from the separation tank, since their floors collect solid debris as well as liquid spills. Facility management companies and contract cleaners will appreciate the quick-release parts, which make servicing easy across several sites. Clinics, offices and hotel back-of-house areas are further candidates, particularly where quieter operation in ECO mode is an advantage.

Pudu offers the machine as the SH1 Standard and in four kits: the SH1 Starter Kit, SH1 Retail Kit, SH1 F&B Kit and SH1 Pro Kit. The names point to retail and food-and-beverage settings, but the published sources do not list the contents of each kit, so Robots Europa sets out exactly what each kit includes in the quotation and recommends the version that matches your site.

What is the PUDU SH1 used for?

1. Retail sales floors: daily scrubbing and drying of aisles, entrances and checkout zones.
2. Restaurants and cafés: clearing food debris and spills, with solids kept separate in the wastewater tank.
3. Commercial kitchens and canteens: tackling greasy hard floors using the hard brush or pad option.
4. Offices and reception areas: quieter cleaning in ECO mode while staff and visitors are present.
5. Healthcare and clinic corridors: routine hard-floor care in spaces that must reopen quickly.
6. Contract cleaning services: one portable machine moved between client sites and serviced quickly thanks to quick-release parts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which versions of the PUDU SH1 are available?

The sources name the SH1 Standard, the SH1 Starter Kit, the SH1 Retail Kit, the SH1 F&B Kit and the SH1 Pro Kit. Robots Europa specifies what each kit contains in your quotation.

Which brushes and pads can be fitted?

Brushes and pads are available in soft, medium and hard materials. Squeegee rubber is offered in PRIMOthane and LINATEX.

How loud is the machine?

The SH1 runs at 72dB (A) in Standard Mode and 69dB (A) in ECO mode.

What does the air-solid-liquid separation system do?

It separates gases, liquids and solid particles inside the wastewater tank. This makes the recovered dirt easier and cleaner to dispose of.

How is the SH1 serviced?

The scrubbing brushes, squeegees, water tanks and batteries are quick-release parts that can be removed and refitted easily. Routine servicing therefore takes little time.

Is the IP rating or the power supply voltage published?

No, neither figure has been published by the manufacturer. Robots Europa confirms both, together with the maximum gradeability, at quotation.

Where can I buy the PUDU SH1 and what does it cost?

Robots Europa supplies the PUDU SH1 from Dublin to customers across the EU and the DACH region. The cost depends on the version and accessories you choose, and is set out in a quotation you can request on this page.

Summary

The PUDU SH1 addresses the part of floor care that most machines leave to the operator: what happens to the dirt once it has been lifted. Its air-solid-liquid separation tank keeps solids, liquids and gases apart, and its quick-release brushes, squeegees, tanks and batteries keep servicing short. Add a rated productivity of 1100-1600 m²/h, 20000pa of suction, a compact upright frame, a 4.2-inch touch screen and a quieter ECO mode, and the result is a scrubber dryer built for shops, restaurants and service floors that are cleaned every day.
