A handball cleaning robot for removing resin from sports halls or for regular sports hall cleaning. The robot is customized to the needs of handball by Alpha11.
CC1 cleaning robot from Pudu, including delivery by freight forwarder, training, instruction, and cloud control via a data protection-compliant, German cloud. For use in handball, a one-day training session near Munich/Germany is required for a caretaker or technically savvy club member to be able to replace wear parts or troubleshoot problems themselves.
The robot automatically applies the resin remover approved for robots and sports halls (DIN 18032) to the floor with fresh water via an optional docking station. After a contact time of approximately 10 minutes, the robot scrubs up to four times the areas heavily contaminated with resin, such as the goal areas. If other sports are also being practiced in the same hall, the robot must automatically vacuum the area briefly before training or a game to remove any foreign dust. With dry cleaning, the robot can vacuum 1,000 square meters per hour. The dry cleaning materials are included in the delivery.
If there are already old resin stains in the hall that have turned black, the robot cannot remove them. Fresh resin stains can be easily removed automatically with the robot. We recommend performing a thorough cleaning and sealing of the hall after purchasing the robot to ensure the hall is set to a good zero point and the resin does not mix with old resin residue, which would then impair the result.
The robot can operate for approximately 8-9 hours on one battery charge. It automatically recharges itself at the docking station, refills with fresh water and cleaning agent, and drains dirty water at the docking station. On average, the handball cleaning robot can wet clean around 500 square meters per hour. Since some areas need to be cleaned multiple times due to resin buildup, the robot requires 4-6 hours for a standard handball sports hall of approximately 1,200 square meters. It can clean this area automatically at night and then only requires about 15 minutes of cleaning the next day, for example, by the caretaker.
At a cost of around €25 per day, the robot is well-calculated compared to conventional cleaning staff, which are in short supply everywhere anyway due to staff shortages. Especially for large areas, it's an ideal tool to provide overworked employees with a useful tool for mopping. Club members are also welcome to use it after training.
The CC1 cleaning robot falls into the category of scrubber-dryers, except that it doesn't need to be pushed; it mops the floors independently and in neat lines. Simply start it up, and the robot can do its job independently.
The CC1 cleaning robot is charged via a power adapter. An optional docking station is also available as an accessory, allowing the CC1 robot to independently fetch fresh water, drain dirty water, and recharge the battery. For handball, the docking station contains a 1.7-liter tank for resin solvent concentrate, which can be adjusted to the appropriate mixing ratio from 1:20 to 1:200 in increments of 10. Only a robot-approved resin solvent may be used.
The optional docking station requires a fresh water and wastewater connection (like a dishwasher) in the hall, with a pre-filter to prevent limescale and rust from entering the robot. If a water connection is not available, a mobile water system with a 30-liter fresh water tank and a 30-liter wastewater tank is available as an option.
Please note that the solvent (resin solvent) requires more wear parts for the robot than with dry cleaning. Fresh water filters, rubber squeegees, water hoses, and water pumps are needed from time to time and should be kept in stock.
Technical specifications:
- Pudu CC1 cleaning robot
- Learnable room maps up to 5,000 sq m per map, multiple maps can be stored, such as each floor
- Wiping width 40 cm
- Vacuuming width 50 cm
- Battery life approx. 8-9 hours, charging time approx. 4 hours
- Relatively quiet at under 70 dB (up to 80 dB is permitted since 2017), normal conversation is around 65 dB, and a TV at room volume is also 65 dB.
- Speed ??up to 1.2 m/second - a human walks at approximately 1 m/second
- Weight 60 kg
- Dimensions 66 cm (length) x 56 cm (width) x 68 cm (height)
- Optical LIDAR scanner in the robot, which detects obstacles in a flash within half a second and stops or avoids them
- Cleaning performance of 500 to 1,000 m² per hour (mopping or vacuuming). For handball, the performance is reduced to approximately 250 m²/hour (a 1,200 m² hall needs approximately 4-6 hours at night)
- Also detects glass panes above additional sensor
- Documents the area it has mopped or vacuumed on the robot itself and via an app.
- CE marking present.
- An approved resin solvent for robots must be used. A 10-liter concentrate is available for €99 net, which also has a sports hall approval according to DIN 18032. The concentrate is sufficient for 200 liters of cleaning fluid (1:20). With 15 liters, the robot can clean approximately 1,000 square meters. The concentrate is therefore sufficient for approximately 13 refills on the robot. Cleaning a hall costs an average of €9.
