Gausium Scrubber 50 vs Scrubber 75: which autonomous scrubber fits your facility?
Head-to-head of the Gausium Scrubber 50 and Scrubber 75 for Australian facilities, coverage, runtime, manoeuvrability, and which site types each suits.
The Scrubber 50 and Scrubber 75 sit either side of the same design philosophy, autonomous scrubbing for commercial and industrial environments, but they target different facility sizes. Picking correctly is mostly about footprint, daily cleaning area, and aisle geometry.
Gausium Scrubber 50
Mid-size autonomous scrubber. Designed for supermarkets, retail chains, offices, and mid-sized commercial facilities.
Best for
- Retail stores and supermarkets
- Offices and mixed-use commercial buildings
- Mid-sized facilities with tighter aisles
Watch-outs
- Smaller water capacity vs Scrubber 75, more frequent top-ups on very large floors
- Overkill for very small footprints where Phantas is a better fit
Gausium Scrubber 75
Large-capacity autonomous scrubber. Designed for warehouses, distribution centres, and industrial facilities with long runtime needs.
Best for
- Warehouses and distribution centres
- Logistics hubs and industrial sites
- 24/7 cleaning operations with large daily coverage
Watch-outs
- Footprint requires wider aisles than Scrubber 50
- More robot than needed in sub-5,000 m² sites
Side-by-side comparison
| Dimension | Gausium Scrubber 50 | Gausium Scrubber 75 |
|---|---|---|
| Primary site type | Retail, offices, mid-size commercial | Warehouse, industrial, 24/7 sites |
| Relative coverage | Mid | High |
| Runtime between refills | Shorter | Longer |
| Aisle agility | Higher | Moderate |
| Best fit daily floor area | ~1,000-6,000 m² | ~5,000+ m² |
| Delivery models | Purchase / Lease / RaaS | Purchase / Lease / RaaS |
The verdict
Pick Scrubber 50 for retail, offices, and mid-size commercial sites where manoeuvrability matters. Pick Scrubber 75 for warehouses, distribution centres, and industrial facilities where daily coverage, runtime between refills, and large-area efficiency are the priority. If in doubt, a Robotec site assessment will confirm the right fit based on floor area, aisle geometry, and cleaning frequency.
Frequently asked questions
Can one Scrubber 75 replace multiple Scrubber 50s?
In very large, open environments, yes, frequently. In tight retail or office layouts, two Scrubber 50s can outperform a single Scrubber 75 because they navigate narrow aisles faster. The right answer depends on the site layout, which is why Robotec runs a short site assessment before quoting.
Which scrubber is best for an Australian supermarket?
Most Australian supermarkets and mid-size retail formats are best matched with the Scrubber 50 because of its balance between coverage, manoeuvrability, and aisle agility. Very large anchor stores or distribution backs-of-house can justify a Scrubber 75.
Which scrubber is best for a warehouse?
Scrubber 75. Warehouses reward scale, higher water capacity, longer runtime, and larger coverage per pass drive down cost per square metre cleaned. Scrubber 75 is designed specifically for this workload.
