At ClickCleaning, we understand that maintaining pristine floor appearance requires more than basic cleaning - it demands professional equipment designed for specific floor care tasks. Our rotary floor machine range encompasses everything from versatile single disc machines for daily maintenance to specialised high-speed burnishers that create mirror-like finishes on polished floors.
Rotary floor machines, often called buffers or single disc machines, remain the workhorses of professional floor care. These versatile machines tackle multiple tasks through interchangeable pads and brushes - from aggressive stripping of old polish through deep scrubbing to high-speed polishing. Understanding the capabilities and selecting appropriate machines transforms floor maintenance from labour-intensive drudgery into efficient, professional operations.
Our standard-speed rotary machines operating at 150-200 rpm excel at general cleaning, scrubbing, and stripping applications. These foundational machines provide the controlled power necessary for removing old floor finishes, deep cleaning heavily soiled floors, and preparing surfaces for new coatings. The moderate speed delivers optimal pad contact time, ensuring thorough cleaning without excessive heat generation that might damage sensitive floors.
High-speed machines running at 300-500 rpm bridge the gap between cleaning and polishing, offering versatility for facilities requiring both capabilities. These dual-purpose machines scrub effectively with appropriate pads whilst also achieving good polishing results, making them popular choices for facilities seeking single-machine solutions. The increased speed improves productivity whilst maintaining sufficient control for detailed work.
Ultra high-speed burnishers operating at 1000-3000 rpm specialise in creating brilliant shine on properly prepared floors. These machines generate the heat and pressure necessary to compress floor finish into mirror-like surfaces, though they require skilled operation and appropriate floor finishes. Our burnisher range includes both electric and battery-powered options, enabling shine restoration even in areas without convenient power access.
Machine weight significantly influences performance and application suitability. Lighter machines around 20-30 kg prove easier to manoeuvre and transport between areas but may lack the down-pressure necessary for aggressive stripping. Heavier machines from 40-70 kg provide superior stripping performance and stability but demand greater operator strength and may require lift access between floors. We help customers balance performance requirements with practical handling considerations.
Power options extend beyond traditional mains-powered models. Battery-powered machines eliminate trailing cables that create trip hazards and restrict movement, proving invaluable for daytime cleaning in occupied spaces. Modern battery technology delivers runtime exceeding 2 hours whilst maintaining consistent power output. Propane burnishers offer unlimited runtime for large facilities, though they require adequate ventilation and specialised handling procedures.
Pad drive systems deserve careful consideration as they directly impact machine versatility and pad security. Traditional centre-lock systems provide secure pad attachment for aggressive applications but require specific pad types. Pad holder systems accept any standard floor pad, offering maximum flexibility for facilities using various pad types. Some machines feature quick-change systems that minimise downtime between different floor care tasks.
Handle design affects operator comfort and machine control significantly. Adjustable handles accommodate different operator heights, reducing fatigue during extended use. Safety switches requiring two-handed operation prevent accidental starts, whilst variable speed controls enable optimisation for different tasks. Ergonomic grips and vibration reduction features improve operator comfort during long shifts.
Tank systems on solution-equipped machines enable wet scrubbing without buckets and mops. These machines apply cleaning solution directly to floors whilst scrubbing, improving cleaning effectiveness and reducing labour. Tank capacities range from 10-40 litres, with larger tanks extending operational time between refills. Solution control systems prevent over-wetting that might damage water-sensitive floors.
Dust control features on high-speed machines capture airborne particles generated during dry burnishing. Active vacuum systems with HEPA filtration protect indoor air quality whilst reducing post-cleaning dust settlement. These features prove essential in healthcare facilities and other environments where air quality matters.
Whether maintaining retail showrooms, restoring industrial floors, or ensuring healthcare facilities meet the highest standards, our rotary floor machine range provides the power, versatility, and reliability professional floor care demands. Our team's extensive experience helps customers select optimal machines for their specific floor types and maintenance requirements, ensuring successful floor care programmes that protect investments and maintain professional appearances.
