A CRB scrubber is a machine equipped with two counter-rotating brushes that scrub inwards towards each other. Their uses range from scrubbing small areas of hard floors like those found in restrooms, to scrubbing carpets with a pre-spray before a full extraction to agitate and loosen soil attached to carpet fibers.
While CRB machines are effective in recovering most of the solution laid down, they lack a vacuum motor to assist in the recovery process. Instead, the machine relies on centrifugal force from the spinning brushes to recover as much solution as possible.
A floor buffer is a multi-purpose machine capable of performing tasks such as buffing, scrubbing, stripping, and even carpet bonneting. There are low speed machines, dual speed machines, and oscillating machines in this category, each with its own benefits. The most common type is a rotary-style head that utilizes a cleaning tool like a floor pad, a cleaning brush, or a carpet bonnet. Other accessories, like a solution tank or weight kit, can be added to help with efficiency when cleaning with the different styles of floor buffers.
A floor burnisher is a high-speed floor polishing machine that typically spins at 1,500 – 2,100+ RPMs. There are battery, electric, and propane options available. Electric models are the most popular and the most affordable. Battery-powered models, while generally more expensive, are excellent for covering wide areas. Propane burnishers are also suitable for wide open areas, but they do produce potentially dangerous emissions.
A multi-surface cleaning machine can be used to clean a variety of surfaces. They can be categorized into machines suitable for cleaning multiple surfaces in bathrooms or kitchens, and those capable of cleaning both hard floors and carpets. Additional tile cleaning tools are also available for spraying, cleaning, and recovery.
A ride on auto scrubber is a floor cleaning machine designed to clean large areas very quickly. It dispenses cleaning solution, scrubs the floor, and then recovers the dirty solution in one pass. There are cylindrical, orbital, and rotary options, each with its specific use. Rotary is the most popular and can be used with pads for smooth floors and brushes for uneven floors, such as concrete and grouted tile.
A walk behind floor scrubber is a machine that dispenses cleaning solution, scrubs the floor, and then recovers that dirty solution in one pass. There are cylindrical, orbital, and rotary options in the walk behind category, each with its own specific use. Rotary is the most popular, and can be used with pads for smooth floors and brushes for uneven floors, like concrete and grouted tile.
Wax & stripper applicators are actually two different types of machines. They dispense large amounts of floor finish or floor stripping solution, depending on your application.
