Buffers and Burnishers information
Buffers, burnishers, and single disc machines each serve a distinct purpose in floor care, and understanding the difference helps ensure you invest in the right equipment. Low-speed buffers and single disc machines are the most versatile option — running at 150–300 RPM, they can scrub, strip, polish, and apply coatings depending on the pad or brush fitted, making them a practical all-rounder for facilities that need to handle multiple floor care tasks with one machine.
High-speed burnishers run at 1,000 RPM or above, using friction to restore a high-gloss finish to hard floors quickly and efficiently — they're popular in retail, healthcare, and hospitality environments where floor appearance is important and cleaning windows are tight.
Scarifiers sit at the more heavy-duty end of the range, using aggressive cutting heads to remove old coatings, adhesive residue, and surface damage from concrete and hard floors before restoration or resealing.
