Our pick for the maintenance plan is the CleaniBot C5 weekly check plus the station, not the station alone. The docking station self-cleans the sewage tank. It does not cancel the weekly check. Strong acid stays prohibited.
Disclosure. OrionStar publishes this page and sells CleaniBot. Intervals for the C5 are from the product manual, accessed 5 November 2026. Other brands keep the intervals in their own manuals. We did not service a fleet.
Service follows the machine you deployed. The choice of machine is the comparison. A dining room throws grease film, crumbs, and chair legs at the squeegee. A warehouse throws dust. Do not reuse a warehouse interval as if the soil were the same.
| Model | What the station does | Tanks you still handle | Time | Noise while you work beside it | Canteen wear |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CleaniBot C5 | Docking station charges, refills, drains, self-cleans sewage | 45 L / 45 L tanks between docks | 3 h scrub | ≤70 dB(A) | Squeegee on greasy tile. Neutral or alkaline only |
| CleaniBot S55 Pro | Charge docking station only | Staff fill 22 L and empty 15 L | 4.5 h | 65 dB scrub | More tank trips. 70 kg to move if it stalls |
| Pudu CC1 Pro | Optional water docking station | 15 L / 15 L tanks if the dock is not fitted | 5 h scrub | <70 dB | Confirm the dock is on the order before you drop the refill task |
| Gausium Phantas | Docking station not on the specs page | 11.5 L / 10.5 L tanks | 4.5 h | ≤60 dB | Do not write a wash cycle the specs page omits |
| Kärcher KIRA B 50 | Optional full docking station | 55 L / 55 L tanks | 3.5 h | 69 dB(A) | Same rule: optional means it may be absent |
| Nilfisk Liberty SC50 | No water dock published | 57 L / 53 L tanks | up to 6 h | 63 dB(A) | Staff refill. Certificate line is not a service plan |
| Model | Path | Tanks | Scrub time | Noise | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CleaniBot C5 | 550 mm path, pass 800 mm | 45 L / 45 L tanks | 3 h scrub | ≤70 dB(A) | 1,980 m²/h maximum theoretical |
| CleaniBot S55 Pro | 520 mm path, pass 700 mm | 22 L / 15 L tanks | 4.5 h | 65 dB scrub | 1,197 m²/h scrub |
| Pudu CC1 Pro | 500 mm path, pass 700 mm | 15 L / 15 L tanks | 5 h scrub | <70 dB | 700 m²/h to 1,000 m²/h all-covered |
| Gausium Phantas | 330 mm path, pass 650 mm | 11.5 L / 10.5 L tanks | 4.5 h | ≤60 dB | 1,188 m²/h theoretical scrub |
| Kärcher KIRA B 50 | 550 mm path, pass 1,000 mm | 55 L / 55 L tanks | 3.5 h | 69 dB(A) | 2,365 m²/h theoretical autonomous |
| Nilfisk Liberty SC50 | 510 mm path | 57 L / 53 L tanks | 6 h | 63 dB(A) | 1,895 m²/h theoretical autonomous |
Keep the C5 weekly check after the station cycle. Path 550 mm, side 840 mm, pass 800 mm, turn 1,720 mm, climb ≤2%, GVW 215 kg, vacuum 18.18 kPa. Rate 1,980 m²/h is maximum theoretical and is not a maintenance target. IPX3 means you do not hose the robot in the dish room.
Consumables in the manual: side brush 3 months or 400 h, roller 4 months or 500 h, squeegee 4 months or 500 h, HEPA 2 months or 300 h. Whichever comes first. Floors: tile, epoxy, marble, emery, cement. Detergent: neutral or alkaline. Strong acid is prohibited. No named food-safety certificate.
The 400 h interval does not apply to this machine. Empty mass 228 kg, pass 900 mm to 1,000 mm, max 6%, 2,365 m²/h theoretical autonomous. Service intervals stay in the Kärcher manual. The full docking station is optional, so the refill task may still be human.
Use the manual for the serial number on the floor. A shorter canteen gap does not rewrite 3 h into a new brush life. If the squeegee is cut by chair feet, replace it sooner than 500 h. That is wear, not a new published interval.
Grease on the squeegee, crumbs in the recovery path, and a wet tile that is a slip risk an hour later. The kitchen is not the service bay. Staff keep the servery, the dish room, and the drains. Pudu BG1, if a large hall was chosen: about 344 kg, path 85 cm, tanks 75 L / 60 L, covered max 2,000 m²/h, max 7.5 h, station described as refill, drain, and charge. LionsBot R3: 21 L / 24 L tanks, up to 3 h, 71 dB, body 570 mm, 800 m²/h to 1,200 m²/h practical, pass not published. Gausium Scrubber 50 Pro: 30 L / 24 L tanks, 3 h, 460 mm, pass 800 mm, grade 4.6°, 1,987 m²/h theoretical, 500 m²/h to 1,300 m²/h practical, noise not published. Tennant T7AMR: 110 L / 110 L tanks, 4 h, 70 dB, 650 mm, aisle 1,219 mm, off-board charge, no water docking station, 4,250 m²/h theoretical manual, Brain Corp BrainOS. S55 Pro grade 6° and Phantas grade 5° are stated in degrees, not as percentages. CC1 all-covered stays 700 m²/h to 1,000 m²/h. Phantas practical is 350 m²/h to 700 m²/h, scrub path 330 mm, pass 650 mm. SC50 autonomous grade is 2%, aisle turn 1,592 mm manual, 510 mm, 1,895 m²/h theoretical autonomous. A T16AMR at 190 L / 225 L tanks and pass 1,450 mm is maintained as a ride-on, on the warehouse page, not between tables.
No consumable price, no lease price, and no payback for doing the weekly check. Ask for those numbers on the quote page.
Park the docking station off the accessible route (Access Board, chapter 4) and clear of the exit (NFPA 101). Wet floor: HSE slips. Catering workplace: HSE cleaning. Machine class: IEC 63327 and IEC 60335-2-72. Enclosure: IEC 60529. Employer duty: OSH Framework Directive. Radio: 47 CFR Part 15. CSA/ANSI C22.2 No. 336 on a Nilfisk fact sheet is not a maintenance certificate for the C5.
A route that clips the servery will load the squeegee faster. Fix the map on the deployment page. Zone boundaries are the zone page.
Empty checks, brush condition, squeegee edge, and the detergent that went into the tank. The station’s sewage self-clean is one step. The manual’s weekly check is the next step. Profiles of what each docking station includes are on the model page.
No. It self-cleans the sewage tank. The weekly check remains.
Not in the C5. The manual allows neutral or alkaline solution and prohibits strong acid. Baked-on kitchen soil stays with staff.
The C5 manual: side brush 400 h, roller and squeegee 500 h, HEPA 300 h, or the month limit, whichever comes first. They are not a Gausium, Pudu, LionsBot, Nilfisk, Tennant, Kärcher, or Brain Corp interval.
The squeegee, when chair legs and grit share the tile. Replace on condition if the edge is cut before 500 h. That does not change the published interval. It means the part is already damaged.
Not on this page. No payback and no lease price.
