New Tornado BR 33/30 33" Cylindrical Rider Scrubber
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The BR 33/30 makes sense for facilities that scrub a lot of open floor and want the scrubbing action of cylindrical brushes on a ride-on: supermarkets, plants, warehouses, airports and exhibit halls. The 33 in cylindrical brush spins at 785 rpm, so it digs into textured surfaces like quarry tile and paver brick, and it picks up light debris into a collection box as it scrubs, so you sweep less before you scrub. The 30 gal solution and 32 gal recovery tanks keep it working between fills, and the tanks are polyethylene, so they will not rust. Operators like that automatic mode turns on the brushes, solution and vacuum with one selector, and the squeegee lifts on its own when the machine backs up, which protects the blades. Brush pressure has three preset levels, shown on the display, so you can go lighter on smooth floors and heavier on grout. This package includes a 36 V lead acid battery pack, so ask us which charger you need.”

Questions
Tornado BR 33/30: common questions
What floors is the BR 33/30 best for?
Cylindrical brushes handle flat floors and structured surfaces such as quarry tile, paver brick and raised rubber disc flooring. The brushes also send solid debris into a collection box as they scrub.
How do I empty the debris?
The machine has a collection box for solid dirt. Tornado says to empty it and rinse it out with water at the end of each cleaning job.
What happens if the recovery tank fills up?
A float closes off the suction when the recovery tank is full, which protects the vacuum motor. Empty the recovery tank and keep cleaning.
Can the operator switch between automatic and manual?
Yes. In automatic mode the machine handles the brushes, solution and vacuum together. In manual mode each function is turned on and off by the operator, and a transport setting runs only the drive for moving between areas.
