New Aztec 30" Refresher w/ 18 HP Kawasaki
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The Refresher is a good fit for contractors and in-house teams who take care of polished concrete or terrazzo that has lost its shine, or that someone coated with VCT finish along the way. It is a propane, planetary-driven machine with a 30 in path and three 10 in quick-change heads, and one machine can strip, hone, polish and burnish. Strip brushes take off old finish or sealer, Velcro drivers with hybrid or resin diamonds hone and polish, and Mighty-Lok drivers run burnishing or diamond pads. The gimbaled head follows the floor for an even gloss, and the planetary motion flattens while it polishes. Aztec rates it at up to 10,000 sq ft per hour refreshing and 15,000 stripping. It has 330 lb of head pressure, an 8 gal water tank for wet work and a 2 in vacuum port for dry work. It runs on an 18 hp, 603 cc Kawasaki engine with a centrifugal clutch, so there is no cord or generator to manage on a big floor.”
One propane machine to strip, hone, polish and burnish
The Aztec Refresher is a propane-powered, planetary-driven system for stripping, honing, polishing and burnishing polished concrete, terrazzo and marble floors. It is designed for previously polished concrete and terrazzo, and it also strips and scrubs VCT with strip brushes or pads.
Three 10 in (25 cm) quick-change heads cover a 30 in (76 cm) path with 330 lb (150 kg) of head pressure. A gimbaled head follows the floor for a consistent gloss, and the 8 gal water tank and 2 in vacuum port handle wet or dry work.
Condition: New.
