How to Choose a Cleaning Robot: Capacity and Soil Type

PUDU Turkey Hub & Competence Center

On an industrial floor, model selection is decided not by floor area but by three measurements: whether the soil is dry or wet, whether the tank carries a full shift, and the width of the narrowest passage. This page puts the measured data for seven models side by side and shows which facility buys which.

Measured Data for Seven Models

ModelThroughputWater / wasteWeightJob type
BG1 Pro6,000 m²/h75 L clean / 60 L waste~344 kgSweep, scrub, polish
BG16,000 m²/h75 L clean / 60 L waste~344 kgSweep, scrub, polish
CC1 Pro3,000 m²/h15 L / 15 L75 kg4-in-1
MT1 Max2,200 m²/h35 L dust bin85 kgSweeping
MT11,800 m²/h35 L dust bin65 kgSweeping
MT1 Vac1,400 m²/h20 L waste, HEPA75 kgSweep and vacuum
SH11,100-1,600 m²/h4 L / 4 L17 kgUpright, 20,000 Pa vacuum

Throughput values are the manufacturer's catalogue figures and assume uninterrupted, unobstructed operation. Furniture, racking layout, heavy soil and charging breaks all push real-world results below them.

Why Throughput Alone Is Not Enough

The catalogue square-metre figure tells you the area a machine can cover in an hour; it does not tell you it can clean that area without stopping. On a scrubbing robot the limit is usually set by the water tank, not by throughput.

A concrete comparison: the CC1 Pro runs at 3,000 m²/h and carries 15 litres of clean water. The BG1 Pro runs at 6,000 m²/h and carries 75 litres. That difference is not two times the throughput; it is five times fewer refill and drain stops. Area covered per litre varies with soil level and the chosen water rate, so it is measured on site.

The practical consequence: in a large facility with a narrow shift window, tank capacity decides more than the throughput figure. If staff must carry water to the robot through the night, autonomy is already lost.

Matching the Model to the Soil Type

Industrial floors rarely carry a single kind of soil, and the wrong match takes a robot out of service in its first week.

What is on the floorProcess neededModel

Tight areas, between racks, around machineryHand-guided upright unitSH1

Mixed floors commonly run a two-machine setup: the BG1 Pro takes the open area while the SH1 or CC1 Pro covers aisles and machine surrounds. How many of each is settled by the calculation below.

How Many Units Are Needed

Unit count comes out of three rows, and the answer is decided by the facility's own figures.

#What to measureHow to find it
1Net area to clean (m²)From the floor plan, counting only where the robot will go
2Shift window (hours)Time available for cleaning once production stops
3Narrowest passage (cm)Rack aisles, machine gaps, doorways; take the narrowest

Row 1 ÷ row 2 gives the hourly throughput required. Compare it with the catalogue figures above, leaving margin for site conditions.

Row 3 eliminates models: the BG1 Pro body is 1,195 mm wide with the squeegee fitted and will not enter a narrow aisle. The SH1 at 490 mm or the CC1 at 463 mm works in those areas.

Send us those three rows via the quote form and we will work out unit count, model and charging-station placement from your floor plan.

Installation, Service and Commissioning

In an industrial deployment the robot itself is half the job. Commissioning starts with mapping: the robot scans the area, routes and no-go zones are defined, and the charging and water station locations are fixed. The shift plan is built around that.

Installation, operator training and commissioning are included in the price, and all models carry a 1-year official warranty. Service and maintenance are handled by Robotlar.org across all 81 provinces. As the Turkey distributor we manage import, customs clearance and the warranty process.
