Frequently Asked Questions
A high-speed burnisher is used for polishing and restoring the shine of hard floor surfaces quickly, producing a glossy, smooth finish without stripping the floor finish.
No, a burnisher is not the same as a buffer; a burnisher operates at much higher speeds (typically 1,200–3,000 RPM) for polishing and producing shine, while a buffer runs slower (around 150–300 RPM) for cleaning, scrubbing, and light polishing.
A burnisher machine typically operates at 1,200–3,000 RPM, depending on the model and floor type.
A curved burnisher is used for polishing floors in tight spaces, edges, corners, and around obstacles where a standard flat burnisher cannot reach.
The best speed for buffing is typically 150–300 RPM, which allows effective cleaning and light polishing without damaging the floor finish.
To high-speed buff a floor, ensure the surface is clean, attach the appropriate high-speed pad, set the burnisher to the recommended RPM (1,200–3,000), guide the machine steadily in overlapping passes, and avoid staying in one spot too long to prevent finish damage.
