Kärcher B 80 W Bp Pack 170Ah R65 DOSE Rinse AF Professional Scrubber Dryer

Productive Roller Brush Cleaning for Demanding Commercial Floors

The Kärcher B 80 W Bp Pack 170Ah R65 DOSE Rinse AF is a compact, high-performance walk-behind scrubber dryer engineered for intensive cleaning across busy commercial, retail and industrial environments.

Its R65 contra-rotating roller brush head combines powerful scrubbing with integrated pre-sweeping, allowing the machine to collect fine loose debris while washing the floor. This makes it particularly effective on textured surfaces, safety flooring, tiled areas and grout lines where conventional disc brushes may struggle to reach embedded dirt.

A powerful 170Ah maintenance-free AGM battery supports extended cleaning periods, while intelligent systems including DOSE detergent dosing, AutoFill, AutoRinse, Eco!Flow, Auto!Vac, Machine Connect and the Kärcher Intelligent Key System help reduce preparation time, control resource consumption and standardise results between operators.

High-Speed R65 Roller Brush Technology

The R65 brush head uses two contra-rotating cylindrical brushes to produce intensive mechanical cleaning performance. Operating at high speed and with strong floor contact, the rollers agitate dirt from surface structures, joints and recesses more effectively than a conventional brush system designed primarily for smooth flooring.

The brush head also incorporates a pre-sweeping function, collecting fine particles during the cleaning process. Sweeping, scrubbing and water recovery can therefore be completed in one streamlined operation, reducing the time spent preparing heavily trafficked floors.

Key advantages include:

• High-speed mechanical cleaning for stubborn contamination
• Strong contact pressure for intensive and deep-cleaning tasks
• Integrated collection of fine loose debris
• Excellent performance on structured and uneven floors
• Effective cleaning of grout lines and recessed surfaces
• Efficient cleaning close to edges, walls and fixtures
• Fewer separate cleaning stages
• Quiet brush-head operation for noise-sensitive environments
• The electrically controlled lifting system also raises and lowers the brush head for more convenient movement and operation.

Integrated Pre-Sweeping for Faster Cleaning

Loose dirt, grit and small particles can interfere with wet cleaning and often require a separate sweeping stage. The roller brush system collects suitable fine debris as the machine moves, helping cleaning teams complete more work in a single pass.

This can provide:

• Faster preparation of busy floor areas
• Reduced dependence on separate sweeping equipment
• Improved productivity in high-footfall locations
• More consistent cleaning where loose debris is regularly present
• Less time spent switching between different machines

The system is particularly valuable in supermarkets, warehouses, entrances, transport facilities and public buildings where dirt is continually carried onto the floor.

Intelligent DOSE Detergent Dosing

Kärcher's DOSE system introduces detergent into the fresh water at a precisely controlled concentration. This helps prevent unnecessary chemical use while maintaining consistent cleaning results throughout the task.

Benefits include

• Accurate detergent application
• Consistent chemical concentration between operators
• Reduced risk of overdosing
• Lower detergent consumption
• Improved control of operating costs
• Automatic detection when the detergent container is empty

The dosing system can apply detergent at concentrations as low as 0.25%, helping organisations use cleaning chemicals efficiently.

AutoFill for Quicker Preparation

The AutoFill system automatically fills the fresh-water tank and stops the incoming supply when the correct level has been reached.

Operators can connect the machine and complete other preparation duties rather than waiting beside it during filling. This saves time at the beginning of a cleaning shift while preventing accidental overflowing.

AutoFill helps deliver:

• Faster machine preparation
• Automatic shut-off when full
• Reduced operator waiting time
• Greater consistency between shifts
• Less risk of water being wasted through overfilling

AutoRinse for Hygienic Tank Cleaning

The patented AutoRinse system provides contact-free rinsing of the dirty-water tank after cleaning.

Instead of manually washing the tank and risking contact with contaminated water, operators can complete routine maintenance more quickly and hygienically. The controlled rinsing process also reduces splashing around the machine.

Advantages include:

• Contact-free recovery-tank rinsing
• Reduced splashing
• Improved operator hygiene
• Faster end-of-shift maintenance
• Less manual cleaning
• Quicker preparation for the next shift

Eco!Flow Speed-Dependent Water Management

Kärcher's Eco!Flow system automatically adjusts the water supply according to the machine's travelling speed.

When the operator slows down to negotiate corners or obstacles, the system reduces water flow accordingly. This helps prevent excess solution from being deposited in slower sections while maintaining even cleaning performance across the working area.

Benefits include

• Consistent cleaning results
• Reduced unnecessary water consumption
• Controlled solution delivery around bends
• Fewer excessively wet floor areas
• Longer cleaning periods between refills
• Lower water-related running costs

Auto!Vac Suction Control for Drier Floors

The curved aluminium squeegee works with Kärcher's Auto!Vac automatic turbine control to adapt suction performance to different floor conditions.

The system supports effective water recovery on smooth and textured surfaces, including when the machine is turning through tight bends. Durable Linatex® suction lips help leave floors clean, dry and ready to return to service.

Operator and site benefits include:

• Reliable water collection
• Excellent drying on structured floors
• Effective suction through corners
• Reduced residual moisture
• Less manual finishing work
• Lower risk of slips in busy areas

Robust Cast-Aluminium Construction

Both the brush head and squeegee are manufactured from hard-wearing cast aluminium.

These components are designed to withstand the knocks and intensive operating conditions associated with professional floor cleaning, helping reduce damage, downtime and long-term maintenance expenditure.

This robust construction provides:
