Lavex 20″ Dual Speed Rotary Floor Machine with 2 Gallon Solution Tank – 175/320 RPM

Description

Strip commercial floor wax at 175 RPM or buff finishes to a mirror gloss at 320 RPM with this Lavex 20″ Dual Speed Rotary floor machine. Designed for retail stores and healthcare centers, this unit includes a 2-gallon gravity-feed solution tank for controlled chemical dispensing. Operators must toggle the motor switch between low and high speed before engaging handle triggers.

A thick cast aluminum apron encloses the 20-inch drive perimeter, dampening vibration and resisting caustic floor strippers. The 1.5 HP dual-capacitor induction motor couples to a triple-planetary steel gear assembly on 120V utility power. Operators meter chemical solution from the blow-molded polyethylene tank through a brass control valve. The bare machine weighs 97 lbs and features a 50-foot safety cord.

Key Features of Lavex 20

Contract cleaners buy Lavex dual-speed buffers to strip and polish floors without transporting two separate machines to customer accounts. This commercial rotary floor machine delivers versatile speed control and direct chemical feed across high-traffic vinyl composite tile corridors.

• A dual-speed motor switch toggles between 175 RPM stripping and 320 RPM buffing on commercial floor machines.
• The 1.5 HP motor and triple-planetary steel gearbox transfer continuous torque on rotary floor buffers.
• A 2-gallon blow-molded polyethylene tank dispenses chemical detergent straight through the floor machine apron.
• Heavy 20-inch cast aluminum deck housing delivers 97 lbs of down-pressure for fast floor finish stripping.
• Brass flow control valve meters detergent release to stop puddling on commercial floor scrubbing runs.
• Chrome-plated 1.5-inch steel handle tube locks in multiple operating angles on single-disc floor machines.
• Commercial 50-foot safety power cable supplies continuous 120V power across large institutional facilities.

Bench Dynamometer Motor Load Telemetry

Technicians test each dual-speed machine on our motor dyno platform to measure current draw and gearbox temperature under load. The 1.5 HP motor pulls 13.5-Amps at 175 RPM and 14.8-Amps at 320 RPM under full pad load on VCT panels. Gearbox noise levels test at 68 dBA across both speeds. Motor winding temperatures stabilize at 126°F after two hours of continuous test operation. Spindle runout on the drive hub measures under .002-inch.

Field Operation Directives Negative Filter

Lower the handle tube to waist height, lock the cam lever, and choose 175 RPM for stripping or 320 RPM for spray buffing. Pull the safety lock and squeeze the power triggers to start the pad. Do not buy this dual-speed rotary machine for high-speed 2000 RPM burnishing or dry carpet vacuuming.

• Flush clean warm water through the 2-gallon solution tank brass valve after using chemical wax strippers.
• Inspect the 20-inch pad driver face each week to remove wax residue on commercial rotary floor machines.
• Examine the 50-foot safety power cord jacket for cuts before operating 120V commercial floor buffers.
