Powr-Flite CAS16 Compact Floor Scrubber – 750 RPM, 12500 sq ft/hr

Powr-Flite CAS16 16" Compact Floor Scrubber: 750 RPM Cylindrical Brush for Grout Cleaning

The CAS16 Powr-Scrub is Powr-Flite's compact automatic scrubber built around a 750 RPM cylindrical brush — a brush speed that digs grime out of grout lines and uneven tile that disc-brush scrubbers miss. At 70 dBA it qualifies for LEED daytime cleaning and runs in occupied schools, retail stores, and healthcare corridors without disrupting the environment. Productivity reaches 12,500 sq ft/hr from a 16" cleaning width with dual floating squeegees that recover solution in both forward and reverse passes.

Grout Cleaning, Tile, and Tight-Space Applications

The CAS16's 750 RPM cylindrical brush engages grout lines by spinning perpendicular to the direction of travel — the bristles flick debris up from channels rather than sliding over them as disc pads do. The 32 PSI pump drives solution into the brush zone at pressure, loosening baked-on grease in commercial kitchens or bio-film in healthcare corridor floors. An 80" water lift on the 1.5 HP vacuum motor recovers that solution cleanly, leaving the floor nearly dry behind the squeegee. Dual floating squeegees adjust to minor floor irregularities and recover solution on both forward and backward passes, halving the number of passes required on large grout-tile areas. An optional side brush accessory extends cleaning to wall edges, addressing the common gap that compact scrubbers leave beside baseboards.

CAS16 vs. PFMW14 Multi-Surface Scrubber — Choosing for Your Floor Type

The CAS16 and PFMW14 are both 16"-class cylindrical brush scrubbers, but they solve different problems. The CAS16 targets tile and grout with a 750 RPM brush, a 32 PSI solution pump, and a 1.5 HP vacuum — the system is built to extract grime from uneven surfaces. The PFMW14 Multiwash is designed for multi-surface versatility: it handles carpet, wood, and sports flooring in addition to hard tile, uses 30% less water and chemical, and self-cleans its brushes. For dedicated tile-and-grout facilities (commercial kitchens, locker rooms, food processing), the CAS16 is the right specification. For mixed-surface facilities that need one machine across all floor types, the PFMW14 is the better fit.
