New Powr-Flite Millennium 1600 Buffers/Burnisher
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“If your crew keeps finished VCT and other coated floors looking good between strip-and-recoat jobs, a 1,600 rpm burnisher is the workhorse that does it. The NM1600 is the speed many facilities start with because it is a little more forgiving than a 2,000 rpm machine while still putting a high-gloss shine on the floor. Powr-Flite's patented housing and balanced weight distribution keep the full 20 in pad flat on the floor without a compensating caster, and the 20 in flexible pad driver comes with the machine. It runs on a 1.5 hp belt-drive motor, plugs into a standard outlet with a 75 ft cord, and Powr-Flite rates it at 23,500 sq ft per hour. A thumb-activated safety interlock helps prevent accidental start-ups, and full-surround non-marking bumpers protect walls, door frames and furniture. Schools, retail stores, offices and healthcare buildings with daily or weekly burnishing schedules are a natural fit. If you want more speed and a slightly higher shine, the NM2000 is the 2,000 rpm version of the same machine.”

Questions
Powr-Flite NM1600: common questions
Is a pad driver included?
Yes. The NM1600 comes with a 20 in flexible pad driver, which is what lets the full pad stay in contact with the floor without a compensating caster. Burnishing pads are sold separately.
Should I choose 1,600 or 2,000 rpm?
Both put a high-gloss shine on finished floors. The NM1600 runs at 1,600 rpm with 15 lb of pad pressure and is rated at 23,500 sq ft per hour. The NM2000 runs at 2,000 rpm with 16 lb of pad pressure and is rated at 26,000 sq ft per hour. Match the speed to your floor finish and how your crew likes to work.
What power does it need?
It runs on a standard outlet through its 75 ft, 12/3 SJTW-A cord. The long cord lets the operator cover more floor before moving to the next outlet.
Can it scrub or strip floors?
No. A burnisher is a high-speed polishing machine for finished floors. For scrubbing and stripping, use a low-speed floor machine such as the Powr-Flite Millennium 20 in models.
Not sure the NM1600 fits your floors?
