Glazes as it glides

31 May 2018

The sole purpose of The Preparation Group’s Burnisher 430, is to produce a high gloss, glass-like finish on vinyl, tiles, concrete and resin systems. The high-speed operation (1500rpm) glazes as it glides across the surface, producing a long-lasting shine.

A drive plate is fixed to the machine which can just be lowered onto a cleaning or scrubbing pad and used with or without chemicals / water. Cost saving and environmentally friendly cleaning is achieved by using the burnisher with The Preparation Group’s double-sided Storm Diamond Pads and just water.

The Burnisher 430 features a 1.6kw motor, is easy to use with simple controls and has an adjustable handle height for operator comfort. An onboard dust collection port ensures clean results when used dry and the fold down handle is ideal for transportation and storage. The machine emits a low noise level so does not disturb normal daily operations.

An example project of the Burnisher 430 in use, is when The Preparation Group’s contracting division PPC where contracted to refurbish and deep clean 250m2 of heavily trafficked and dirty tiles in a hotel reception in Birmingham.

The first stage was to use an STG450 machine fitted with a 400 grade Storm Diamond Pad and water applied, to remove the ingrained dirt and to remove scratches from some of the steel expansion joints.  The edges and around columns were completed with a 5’’ Wet Polisher. The final stage was to use the Burnisher 430, dry, working up the Storm Diamond Pad grades from 800, to 1500 and then 3000.

The result was a high gloss finish that would repel dirt and be easier to clean and maintain.
