Karcher BR 45/22 C Bp Pack Battery Walk-Behind Scrubber Dryer

The Karcher BR 45/22 C Bp Pack Scrubber Dryer is a compact professional battery-powered floor scrubber designed for highly manoeuvrable cleaning in commercial environments where furniture, shelving, corners and confined areas make conventional scrubber dryers difficult to operate.

Featuring a 450 mm roller brush working width and 500 mm vacuum working width, the BR 45/22 C Bp Pack delivers up to 1,800 m²/h theoretical area performance and approximately 1,260 m²/h practical cleaning capacity.

Its standout feature is Karcher's innovative KART steering technology, which allows the brush head to rotate by approximately ±200°. This gives the machine exceptional agility around corners and obstacles while helping keep the brush and squeegee correctly aligned with the direction of travel.

Combined with a maintenance-free 25.2 V / 30 Ah lithium-ion battery, integrated sweeping function, high-speed roller brush and 22 L fresh and dirty water tanks, the BR 45/22 C Bp Pack is particularly well suited to shops, offices, schools, hospitality venues, healthcare facilities and other space-restricted commercial environments.

Up to 1,800 m²/h Cleaning Performance

The Karcher BR 45/22 C Bp Pack provides up to 1,800 m²/h theoretical working capacity and approximately 1,260 m²/h practical area performance.

This makes it a strong choice for small to medium-sized commercial floor areas where regular scrubbing and water recovery are required.

Compared with traditional mop-and-bucket cleaning, the machine scrubs the floor mechanically and immediately recovers the dirty water, leaving surfaces significantly cleaner and ready for use much sooner.

KART Steering for Exceptional Manoeuvrability

One of the most distinctive features of the BR 45/22 C Bp Pack is Karcher's KART steering technology.

The brush head can rotate approximately ±200°, allowing the machine to naturally follow curves and manoeuvre around furniture, shelving, displays, corners and other obstacles.

The brush remains positioned correctly relative to the direction of travel, while the squeegee follows the machine to maintain effective dirty-water recovery.

This makes the BR 45/22 C Bp particularly effective in environments where a conventional fixed-head scrubber dryer may struggle to manoeuvre.

Cleans and Vacuums in Reverse

The flexible KART design also allows the machine to scrub and recover water while travelling in reverse when required.

This provides a significant practical advantage when cleaning into corners, under furniture, around fixtures or within areas where there is insufficient room to turn the machine normally.

For congested retail, hospitality and commercial environments, this can greatly improve cleaning efficiency.

450 mm High-Speed Roller Brush

The BR 45/22 C Bp Pack uses a 450 mm roller brush operating at approximately 750–1,050 rpm.

Roller brush technology provides high mechanical cleaning action and excellent contact with the floor, making it particularly effective for removing stubborn contamination.

Unlike conventional disc brushes, roller technology can also perform particularly well on structured surfaces, textured flooring, joints and grout lines where additional mechanical action is beneficial.

High Brush Contact Pressure

Variable brush contact pressure of approximately 100–150 g/cm² allows the machine to provide strong mechanical cleaning action where required.

This helps loosen adhered dirt and contamination more effectively than low-pressure manual cleaning methods.

The combination of high brush speed and strong contact pressure makes the BR 45/22 C Bp particularly capable despite its compact size.

Sweep, Scrub and Vacuum in One Pass

An integrated sweeping function allows the BR 45/22 C Bp Pack to collect small loose debris while scrubbing.

Small stones, wood splinters and other loose particles can be collected before they reach the squeegee.

This allows the operator to sweep, scrub and vacuum in a single cleaning process, reducing the need for separate pre-sweeping in many routine applications.

It also helps protect the squeegee from debris that could otherwise interfere with water recovery.

22 L Fresh and Dirty Water Tanks

The machine incorporates separate 22 litre fresh-water and 22 litre dirty-water tanks.

Fresh cleaning solution is delivered to the brush while contaminated water is recovered into the separate dirty-water tank.

This two-tank system ensures that dirty recovered water is not reused for cleaning, providing a significantly more hygienic process than traditional mop cleaning.

500 mm Squeegee for Reliable Water Recovery

A 500 mm straight squeegee follows behind the cleaning head and recovers dirty water immediately after scrubbing.

The KART steering system allows the squeegee to remain effective through corners and curves, helping provide consistent water recovery even in complex floor layouts.

This means cleaned floors are left substantially drier and can generally be returned to use faster than surfaces cleaned using conventional wet mopping.

25.2 V Lithium-Ion Battery

The BR 45/22 C Bp Pack is powered by a 25.2 V / 30 Ah lithium-ion battery.

Lithium-ion technology is completely maintenance-free and offers excellent cycle life for professional cleaning applications.

The battery provides up to 2 hours maximum runtime, depending on machine settings and operating conditions.

Unlike many traditional battery systems, lithium-ion technology also allows interim and partial charging, giving operators greater flexibility during the working day.

On-Board Charger Included

A high-performance on-board charger is included with the machine.

Because the charger remains with the scrubber dryer, operators do not need to locate or transport a separate charging unit.

The battery can be fully charged in approximately 3.5 hours, while partial charging can be carried out between cleaning tasks.

The charger automatically switches off once charging is complete, avoiding unnecessary stand-by energy consumption.

Suitable for Frequent and Multi-Shift Cleaning

The lithium-ion battery's ability to accept interim charging makes the BR 45/22 C Bp Pack particularly useful in facilities where floor cleaning occurs more than once throughout the day.

Short charging periods between cleaning tasks can help increase machine availability without requiring long uninterrupted charging windows.

This makes the machine suitable for retail, healthcare, hospitality and other facilities with extended operating hours.

eco!efficiency for Longer Runtime and Quieter Cleaning

Karcher's eco!efficiency mode reduces energy and resource consumption during routine maintenance cleaning.

When full cleaning power is not required, eco!efficiency can extend operating runtime by up to 50% while reducing operating noise by approximately 40%.

This makes the machine particularly useful in noise-sensitive or occupied environments such as schools, offices, retail stores, healthcare facilities and hospitality venues.

Quiet Commercial Cleaning

With a sound pressure level of approximately 63 dB(A), the BR 45/22 C Bp is already suitable for many occupied commercial environments.

Using eco!efficiency mode further reduces operating noise, helping minimise disruption when cleaning during business hours.

This provides a valuable advantage over louder industrial cleaning equipment where cleaning cannot always be carried out after hours.

Compact Design for Confined Areas

With dimensions of approximately 866 × 530 × 1061 mm, the BR 45/22 C Bp Pack has an exceptionally compact footprint.

The machine can move away from walls at approximately a 90° angle, while the rotating cleaning head allows it to negotiate tight curves and narrow areas.

An aisle turning width of approximately 1,118 mm further demonstrates its suitability for corridors, retail aisles and furnished spaces.

Lightweight and Easy to Transport

At approximately 43 kg without accessories and around 55 kg including the battery, the BR 45/22 C Bp is relatively lightweight for a professional scrubber dryer.

This makes it easier to transport between cleaning locations and load into suitable commercial vehicles.

Integrated transport wheels further simplify movement when the machine is not actively cleaning.

Fold-Down and Height-Adjustable Handle

The handlebar can be adjusted to suit different operator heights, improving ergonomics and comfort during longer cleaning tasks.

It can also be folded down when the machine is stored or transported.

This significantly reduces the machine's storage footprint and makes it more practical for contract cleaners and businesses with limited equipment storage space.

Ideal Applications

The Karcher BR 45/22 C Bp Pack is ideal for:

• Retail stores
• Shopping centres
• Supermarkets and specialty retail
• Offices
• Commercial buildings
• Schools and educational facilities
• Healthcare facilities
• Aged care facilities

• Cafes and restaurants
• Showrooms
• Workshops
• Public buildings
• Corridors and narrow aisles
• Areas containing furniture and obstacles
• Textured and structured flooring
• Jointed hard floors
• Facility management
• Professional contract cleaning

Its combination of 450 mm roller cleaning width, KART steering, integrated sweeping, lithium-ion battery power and compact dimensions makes it particularly effective in areas where manoeuvrability is just as important as cleaning performance.

Ideal for Furnished and Congested Commercial Areas

The strongest advantage of the BR 45/22 C Bp Pack is not simply its compact size.

Its rotating KART cleaning head allows the scrubber dryer to actively follow curves and obstacles, meaning the machine can clean efficiently around furniture, shelving, displays and other fixtures.

This makes it particularly valuable in retail, hospitality, education and healthcare environments where large fixed-head scrubber dryers may struggle to reach all areas effectively.

Why Choose a Roller Brush Scrubber Dryer?

Roller brush scrubbers provide strong mechanical cleaning action at significantly higher brush speeds than many traditional disc-brush machines.

The BR 45/22 C Bp operates at up to 1,050 rpm and provides high contact pressure, giving it excellent capability for stubborn contamination.

Roller brushes are also particularly effective on structured and textured flooring, joints and uneven hard surfaces, where their narrow cylindrical brush profile can provide strong agitation.

For customers cleaning these types of floors regularly, the BR 45/22 C Bp offers an excellent alternative to a conventional disc scrubber dryer.
