Rubber floor scrubbing machine, 400 mm brush

This professional scrubbing machine is designed specifically for the rubber flooring used in gyms, with a 400 mm brush turning at 650 rpm and electric spraying of the cleaning solution. Brush pressure is adjustable up to 290 g per square centimetre and output reaches 1,160 square metres per hour on hard floors. The manufacturer reference is Etenon 558916.

Rubber tiles and rolls in strength and cross training areas accumulate chalk, sweat, dust from cast iron and rubber residue, and a conventional mop simply moves that mixture around the surface texture. A rotating brush combined with controlled spraying lifts the residue out of the tile pattern instead, which is why a facility that switches from mopping to machine cleaning usually sees the floor return to its original colour within a few passes.

The 7 litre tank and the 950 W motor size the machine for a work session rather than for a single room, and the adjustable pressure is what makes it usable across different floor types: a lighter setting for a finished surface, a firmer setting for a heavily used weightlifting zone.

Technical specification

Maintaining rubber gym flooring properly

Rubber flooring fails for two reasons: the wrong cleaning products and insufficient mechanical action. Aggressive solvents attack the binder and leave the surface chalky and slippery, while gentle mopping never reaches the residue held in the surface texture, so the floor darkens gradually and grip drops. A brush machine with controlled pressure and a suitable neutral solution solves the second problem without creating the first. For a facility of 300 to 1,000 square metres, machine cleaning also changes the labour maths: at 1,160 square metres per hour a full strength area is covered in under an hour, against a whole shift with a mop. Set the pressure to the lower end on finished or coloured tiles and increase it in the weightlifting drop zone where residue is heaviest. Our team advises on the cleaning products compatible with each of our floor ranges.

Frequently asked questions

Which floors can it be used on?

It is designed for rubber gym flooring tiles and rolls. Adjustable pressure also makes it usable on other hard sports floors, with the setting matched to the surface.

What cleaning products should be used?

A neutral product compatible with rubber. Aggressive solvents damage the binder and must be avoided. We confirm the compatible products for your floor reference.

How often should a gym floor be machine cleaned?

Frequency depends on footfall and on the zone. Weightlifting areas usually need more frequent passes than cardio zones, and we set out a schedule with the floor specification.
