Marvellous machine for marble

Spring Grove House is set in the grounds of West Midlands Safari Park.Having recently reopened after a £5m rebuild following a fire, the job of keeping a fine marble black and white chequerboard floor in its entrance hall at its best has been passed to the Truvox Orbis Cordless Burnisher.

The essential requirement was for a reliable high-speed rotary burnisher capable of maintaining a high gloss on the marble floor area, without posing health and safety risks to staff or visitors, present while polishing was being carried out.

Equipped with two 12 V rechargeable batteries, a built-in charger and charging lead, the Orbis Cordless Burnisher motor propels the 43 cm diameter head at 1500 rpm while maintaining a pad pressure of 3 gm/cmÇ, suitable for polishing marble, for two hours on one single charge.

"The Truvox Orbis UHS delivers a great finish and is superb for our needs," says Paul Hewesterne, park services manager.
