PUDU MT1 Best seller

A sweeper, not a Swiss army knife

Start with what the MT1 is not: a scrubber-dryer. No water tank, no detergent, no squeegee. It works exclusively dry: it sweeps, it vacuums, it filters the dust. That specialisation is a deliberate choice. The MT1 is the sweeping building block of an ecosystem in which the CC1 models scrub and the BG1 covers very large wet areas.

Its home ground: environments where the soiling is mainly dry. Dust, plastic film, packaging debris, paper, leaves blown in through the doors, cigarette ends at hall entrances.

Spot cleaning, the real signature

The MT1 carries AI cameras that recognise debris on the floor in real time, drawing on a training base that the manufacturer says keeps growing. On patrol, it covers its zone while scanning the floor over a wide field of view; as soon as it spots an item of litter, it leaves its coverage pattern, plots a path and goes to collect it.

This switch from systematic coverage to targeted cleaning is the whole point of the machine. On a site of several tens of thousands of square metres, passing over every square metre makes no sense when most of the surface is already clean. The MT1 is the tool for large volumes with uneven soiling, where intelligent targeting matters more than raw power.

Its home ground: warehouses, factories, retail, transport

Warehouses and factories tick every box: long aisles, permanent dust, localised packaging waste, and runs too long for an operative to cover several times a day. Shopping arcades, with their crumbs and paper, and transport hubs, with their diffuse and unpredictable soiling, round out the target.

Within the MT1 family, the choice is straightforward: the MT1 for conventional industrial interiors, the hardened MT1 Max for semi-outdoor areas and car parks, the MT1 Vac for vacuuming and carpet.

Points to watch, and how our service covers them

The MT1 will never leave a floor gleaming: it collects dry debris, it does not scrub. Its 35 L hopper is emptied by hand, at a rate that depends on the site, until the auto-empty station announced by Pudu on 8 September 2026 becomes available (see our article on the PUDU Auto-Empty Station). And AI targeting, excellent on visible debris, is no substitute for a well-thought-out cleaning schedule.

That is what our service is for: at the demonstration, we set zones, frequencies and emptying intervals against your actual soiling, and the pairing of robotic sweeping with scrubbing at the right frequency is built machine by machine. Maintenance and the 72-hour continuity guarantee are included, as across the whole range.
