A floor

buffer or

rotary floor machine is an electricalfloor

scrubber that is used to clean and maintain
non-carpeted floors, such as hardwood,
marble, tile or linoleum. It is also known as
a floor polisher or burnisher if it is a high
speed floor buffer with a pad that rotates at
over 1000 RPM.
What are the types of floor buffer/Floor
Scrubber ( Automatic- Non Automatic ) ?

Disk Style Floor Scrubber Heads

The most common, disk style floor scrubbers use a
circular motion with a round pad or brush to agitate
a cleaning solution against the floor to release soils.
Disk floor scrubber heads work best on smooth floor

Cylindrical Style Floor Scrubber Heads

Using counter rotating tube style brushes that rotates
perpendicular to the floor, cylindrical floor scrubbers
clean rough or uneven surfaces. Cylindrical brushes
usually have a collection tray behind the brushes that
can pick up larger debris such as rocks, screws and
small bolts. This reduces the need to sweep or dust
mop prior to scrubbing, although it is still a good idea
if possible.

Square Oscillating Floor Scrubber Heads

Similar to the disk style, square oscillating floor
scrubbers use a flat pad to scrub the floor. The
difference is that instead of spinning, it moves in a
vibrating motion at a much faster speed. The square
design allows for cleaning closer to walls and in
corners. The high speed motion and down pressure
also allow this style of floor scrubber head to be useful
for removing floor finish from vinyl composite tile and
well as prepare wood floors for refinishing. A
specialized, abrasive pad is used for these
procedures.
