New Tornado BR 18/11 18" Cylindrical Pad Drive Floor Scrubber
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The BR 18/11 is a small walk-behind that cleans more like a bigger machine, because it uses cylindrical brushes instead of a flat pad. The brushes spin at 1,300 rpm, which gets into grout lines, quarry tile, paver brick and raised rubber flooring that a disk scrubber tends to skip over. It still does a great job on smooth floors, too. The 18 in path, 11 gal solution tank and 12 gal recovery tank make it a good size for restaurants, restrooms, schools and clinics, and Tornado rates it at 17,969 sq ft per hour. At 66 dB it is quiet enough to run while people are around. The parabolic squeegee picks up even on tight 180 degree turns, changes in 10 seconds or less, and a float shuts off the vacuum when the recovery tank is full, which protects the motor. This package includes lead acid batteries and the built-in onboard charger, so it is ready to work out of the box.”
An 18 in cylindrical scrubber for grout, tile and tight spaces
The Tornado BR 18/11 (Tornado number 99685) is a small walk-behind automatic scrubber with cylindrical brush technology. The brushes spin at 1,300 rpm for low-moisture deep scrubbing, and Tornado says they deliver four to six times more contact pressure than rotary brush scrubbing.
It carries an 11 gal solution tank and a 12 gal recovery tank in a roto-molded polyethylene body, and the parabolic squeegee is 31 in wide. This package (99685C) includes lead acid batteries and the onboard charger.
Condition: New.
