Nilfisk SC351 Lithium-Ion Scrubber Dryer
A compact professional scrubber dryer designed for smaller, congested and furniture-filled areas. The Nilfisk SC351 scrubs and recovers water in both forward and reverse, helping operators clean more efficiently around tables, shelving, counters and other obstacles.
- Forward and reverse cleaning
- 370 mm scrubbing width
- Up to 30 kg brush pressure
- Up to 890 m²/h actual productivity
- Fast-charging lithium-ion option
- Compact folding design
Designed for tight layouts and busy commercial spaces where manoeuvrability and controlled drying are essential.
A Small Scrubber Dryer with a Distinctive Cleaning System
The SC351 combines a compact footprint with a rotating scrub deck and integrated squeegee system. Unlike many conventional scrubber dryers, it can scrub and recover dirty solution while travelling forwards or backwards.
This makes it especially useful where an operator must repeatedly reposition around furniture, counters, shelving and narrow passages. The machine can clean into an area, reverse out and continue recovering water without requiring a wide turning circle.
- Designed for congested and awkward layouts
- Forward and reverse water recovery
- Two water-flow settings
- Compact dimensions for transport and storage
Clean Around Tables, Furniture and Fixed Obstacles
The SC351 is particularly effective in settings where conventional machines may struggle to turn or maintain water recovery. Its compact body and reversible cleaning action help operators work around tables, chairs, counters and other fixed features.
- Ideal for restaurants, cafés and dining areas
- Works effectively in narrow aisles and compact rooms
- Reduces repeated turning and repositioning
- Helps leave floors ready for use more quickly than mopping
One Scrub Deck, Two Cleaning Directions
The rotating deck and wraparound squeegee system allow the SC351 to scrub and recover solution in either direction.
Cleaning Forwards
The machine scrubs the floor and collects dirty solution as the operator moves into the cleaning area.
Cleaning in Reverse
The rotating deck changes position so the machine continues to scrub and recover water while reversing away from furniture or tight spaces.
Rotating Deck and Integrated Squeegee Recovery
The scrub brush, deck and squeegee operate as one compact assembly. When the operator changes direction, the deck rotates to maintain effective scrubbing and recovery.
This distinctive design is the central reason the SC351 performs so well in smaller and furniture-filled spaces.
The operator can clean into and back out of restricted areas.
Dirty solution is collected while travelling in either direction.
The machine can work where a larger conventional deck may struggle.
Designed for Straightforward Daily Operation
Simple controls, removable tanks and a folding handle help make the SC351 practical for regular use by different operators.
Simple Control Panel
Clear operating controls help reduce complexity for new and occasional users.
Removable Twin Tanks
Separate solution and recovery tanks can be removed for filling, emptying and cleaning.
Close Edge Cleaning
Side rollers protect the deck and help the machine work close to walls and fixtures.
Compact Storage
The folding adjustable handle reduces the space required for transport and storage.
Faster Charging for Flexible Cleaning Schedules
The lithium-ion SC351 is designed for customers who value faster charging, opportunity charging and greater flexibility across split shifts or short cleaning windows.
- Up to approximately 90 minutes of published run time
- Faster charging than traditional battery technology
- Opportunity charging between cleaning sessions
- Maintenance-free battery arrangement
A Better Fit for Smaller Professional Cleaning Areas
The SC351 is not intended to replace every scrubber dryer. Its strength is delivering professional mechanical cleaning where access, space and manoeuvrability are the main challenges.
Mechanical scrubbing and dirty-water recovery provide a more controlled process.
The compact design is easier to position around furniture and obstacles.
Integrated recovery helps reduce residual water compared with manual methods.
Low sound output supports cleaning during normal opening or operating hours.
The adjustable folding handle helps reduce the machine’s storage footprint.
Clear controls support consistent use across different members of staff.
