Single disc machines
Which are key components in a
single disc machine?
The procedure to choose the right product for specific
application must take into consideration of: the weight (that
is the pressure over the brush), the surface to work, the RPM /
type of construction of the motor and the transmission type.
Generally speaking, the lower is the rotation speed, the most
effective is the pressure over the brush and deeper is dirt
removal.
With the increasing of rotation speed, lower is the effect of the
pressure over the floor.
Different accessories combinations, rotation speed and motor
power can provide the solution for any application: from
dewaxing or deep scrub, up to polishing or buffing; from the
crystallization up to spray cleaning; also carpet cleaning or
sanding. Please see application chapter on the next pages.
How much power is necessary?
There is not a set rule, if not the common sense: higher is the
friction over the floor (a combination of type of working, type
of surface and type of accessory used), the higher will be the
power request to the motor. So more powerful is the motor, the
harder the job being able to be done.
The power is nothing without a control….
Together with its construction simplicity there are the worst
danger for the operator who has to control the machine for long
working sessions.
Only the perfect components and weights
distribution on the machine allows a
perfect balanced and ergonomic
working posture, without any
vibration and any strange effort
to keep it in place.
A cheap construction (less
strength) not considering the
perfect ergonomic for the user,
further to the waste of money
(less productivity), it’s a serious
danger for the health!
