Propane Floor Burnishing & Buffing Machine Maintenance

Floor Buffing Pad Maintenance
After buffing is complete, remove the floor-buffing pad from the machine. Gently wash either by hand or in the delicate cycle of a washing machine and then hang to dry. Washing in a regular cycle or drying in a machine can damage the floor pad and result in a high rate of unnecessary replacement. Do not leave a pad on the machine or the next floor buffing will not result in clean floors. Finally, when necessary, replace the floor buffing pad.

Storage and Care for Floor Machines’ Propane Tanks
Propane tanks for the floor buffing machine may be over-filled to unsafe levels. If propane tanks are overfilled, operators should vent by using a screw driver in a well-ventilated area that is away from all sources of heat or open flame. Propane escapes as a white mist and should be allowed to escape until the escaping gas turns clear.
When tanks are not in use during floor burnishing or buffing, they should be removed from the inside of the building. Store tanks in a secure area that is well ventilated and not near any sources of heat or open flame such as heater rooms, boilers, or gas-fired water heaters. In addition, ensure that any other objects that are in storage with the tanks are not likely to fall and cause damage to tanks’ metal hulls.

Engine Maintenance Meter
The engine maintenance meter helps prevent mechanical malfunction and increase fuel economy and engine life. Aztec implements the maintenance meter in the Reliant Buffer and Burnisher to ensure that operators can easily use preventative maintenance.

The engine maintenance meter has many functions:

12-Volt Battery for the Floor Buffing Machine
Charge the battery or provide an absolute source of 12 volt DC power capable of 50 amperes total output. Equip yourself with an inexpensive 12 volt test light.

Dry Burnishing – Applications and Capabilities

Dry Burnishing does exactly what its name implies: performs high speed polishing without liquids such as polishers, cleaners, or rejuvenators. Dry burnishing hardens the finish on the floor and brings out the original shine.

Aztec propane burnishers have higher rpm and increased pad pressure to make that shine last. Our floor machines operate at speeds between 1000 and 3000 rpm and come in a range of sizes from 21 inches to 27 inches.

Spray Buffing – Applications and Capabilities

Spray Buffing is burnishing a floor with the aid of a rejuvenating liquid. To buff the floor in this manner, either spray the polish onto the floor or onto the pad in small areas at a time for ample coverage.

Aztec spray buffers polish floors for a smooth, glossy look while filling in minute scratches. Some liquids contain cleaning agents, which can be used to help remove dirt on lightly soiled surfaces.

Use the maneuverability of Aztec propane burnishers and buffers offset body to achieve superior results for entire floors whether under racks or in corners. Eliminate side torque and dramatically increase head pressure with Aztec’s unique pad angle. Choose from 13 hp to 17 hp and produce respectively 25,000 square feet to 33,000 square feet of burnished and buffed floor per hour. Operators of Aztec propane burnishers and buffers achieve brilliant results at amazing speeds in a variety of industries.
