Low Speed Floor Scrubbing Machine – Nilfisk FM400L Floor Cleaner

The Nilfisk FM400L is a dedicated low-speed 180RPM floor scrubbing machine, engineered to deliver the deep mechanical agitation required for cutting through ingrained dirt, grease, and heavy soiling on hard floors. With its blend of power, weight, and control, it’s built for environments where a genuine heavy-duty clean is needed—without stepping up to industrial automatic scrubber-dryers.

Engineered for Deep Scrubbing Performance

Running at 180RPM, the FM400L operates at the optimal scrubbing speed—slow enough to provide torque and bite into stubborn grime, yet fast enough to maintain smooth, consistent motion across the floor. Its 1100W motor is tuned to deliver steady, reliable torque even under pressure, ensuring the pad or brush maintains effective contact with the floor throughout the cleaning process.

The machine’s 37kg operating weight provides the downward force needed for deep cleaning without requiring additional weights. This natural pressure helps the brush cut into textured floors, safety flooring, tiles, concrete, and worn commercial flooring.

A 430mm (17") brush width gives the perfect balance between coverage and manoeuvrability. It is large enough to tackle medium and large areas efficiently, yet compact enough to operate around furniture, kitchen obstacles, toilet cubicles, or commercial spaces with limited free floor area.

Reliable for Daily Commercial Scrubbing

With a long 15m high-visibility cable, operators can cover large rooms without repeatedly switching sockets. The machine’s stable, evenly balanced design reduces user fatigue, making it suitable for regular use in:

• Factories and warehouses
• Commercial kitchens
• Schools and universities
• Care homes and hospitals
• Retail spaces and showrooms

Because the FM400L is low-speed, it excels at the jobs where higher-speed polishers fail—such as stripping old floor polish, wet scrubbing degreaser into the floor, or breaking down the layer of dirt that builds up in busy workplaces.
