Customer Background

In early 2025, Bo** Ch** Belgium, located in Belgium, contacted us looking for a reliable walk-behind floor scrubber for their chocolate manufacturing facility.

As a food manufacturing company, maintaining a clean production environment was extremely important for both operational efficiency and hygiene standards.

The customer was initially exploring multiple suppliers and requested detailed information before making a purchasing decision.

Their requirements included:

• Product specifications and technical datasheets
• Lead time
• Warranty terms
• Payment terms
• After-sales support
• DAP/DDP shipping pricing to Belgium
• Comparison between different scrubber models

The Customer’s Main Concerns

1. Finding a Reliable Walk-Behind Scrubber for Daily Factory Cleaning

The customer explained that their facility was:

“a chocolate manufacturing facility”

The factory floor type was:

• Standard industrial-grade concrete flooring

Although the floor was not coated or highly specialized, the customer still needed a durable machine suitable for:

• Daily production cleaning
• Food manufacturing environments
• Long working hours
• Stable long-term operation

Like many European industrial customers, they were not simply looking for the cheapest machine.

Their focus was:

• Long machine lifespan
• Reliable after-sales support
• Operational efficiency
• Lower long-term ownership cost

2. Understanding the Difference Between Scrubber Models

The customer wanted to compare several walk-behind scrubber models before making a final decision.

We introduced and compared:

• DC50B
• DC510
• DC520

To help the customer make a better decision, we provided:

• Technical specification comparisons
• Product catalogs
• Machine datasheets
• Videos and customer references
• Real customer cases from the past 5–10 years

This helped demonstrate not only machine specifications, but also long-term reliability in real industrial environments.

Recommended Machine Solutions

DC50B Walk-Behind Floor Scrubber

Recommended Applications

• Food manufacturing facilities
• Industrial workshops
• Warehouses
• Standard concrete factory floors

Machine Specifications

• Cleaning efficiency: 3,750 m²/hour
• Cleaning width: 510 mm
• Squeegee width: 850 mm
• Solution tank: 65 L
• Recovery tank: 65 L
• Runtime: 4–6 hours

Recommended Cleaning Area

Ideal for:

• 2,000–5,000 m² daily cleaning applications

The DC50B was especially suitable for this customer because it provided:

• Stable cleaning performance
• Easy operation
• Long battery runtime
• Reliable daily industrial cleaning

According to our long-term sales records, many of our scrubbers remain operational for:

• 5–10 years with proper maintenance

This became an important factor for the customer during evaluation.

Why Machine Lifespan Became an Important Decision Factor

During discussions, we explained to the customer:

One high-quality industrial scrubber can equal the lifespan of 2–3 lower-quality machines.

Many lower-cost industrial scrubbers on the market may only last:

• 1–3 years

However, industrial users often face hidden long-term costs such as:

• Downtime
• Frequent maintenance
• Battery replacement
• Electrical system failures
• Spare parts shortages

For manufacturing facilities operating daily, reliability is often more important than initial purchase price.

This message strongly resonated with the customer.

The Shipping Challenge: Sea Freight vs Air Freight

Initially, the customer requested:

• DAP Belgium pricing

We provided:

• FOB pricing
• Estimated DAP shipping costs
• Estimated sea freight lead time

Estimated Sea Freight Timeline

• Around 37 working days by sea
• Around 7 working days for customs clearance and final delivery

However, this shipment period coincided with the peak season before Chinese New Year, which caused vessel booking delays.

When the customer learned that delivery could take nearly 2 months, they responded:

“This is too much around 2 months to receive a machine?”

For manufacturing facilities, delayed equipment delivery can affect cleaning schedules and operational planning.

After further discussion, the customer ultimately decided to proceed with:

Air Freight Shipping

This solution allowed the customer to receive the machine significantly faster and begin factory cleaning operations earlier.

Additional Value We Provided

To help the customer feel confident in their decision, we also shared:

• 60+ real customer cases
• Long-term machine usage records
• Customer success stories from 5–10 years of operation
• Technical comparisons between models
• Factory-direct support information

This helped build trust and demonstrated our long-term commitment to industrial cleaning equipment quality.

Final Results

The customer successfully ordered:

• 2 × DC50B Walk-Behind Floor Scrubbers

The customer appreciated:

• Transparent communication
• Detailed machine comparisons
• Honest shipping timeline explanations
• Long-term reliability focus
• Flexible shipping solutions
• Professional export support

By switching from sea freight to air freight, the customer was able to receive their machines much faster and avoid extended operational delays.

Key Takeaways for Food Manufacturing Facilities

For food factories and industrial production facilities, choosing the right floor scrubber involves more than cleaning performance alone.

Important considerations include:

• Machine lifespan
• Delivery timeline
• Ease of maintenance
• Spare parts support
• Daily operational efficiency
• Reliability during long working hours

Factories with standard industrial concrete floors can benefit significantly from durable walk-behind scrubbers designed for continuous industrial use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of floor scrubber is suitable for food manufacturing factories?

Walk-behind scrubbers with stable water recovery systems and reliable daily cleaning performance are ideal for food production environments.

Is a more expensive industrial scrubber worth it?

In many cases, yes. Higher-quality machines often reduce long-term maintenance costs and downtime.

How long can industrial floor scrubbers last?
