WHY USE PROPANE:
Propane-powered floor burnishers have been gaining popularity since their introduction in the late 1970s. Their chief advantage lies in their horsepower, which when combined with their high speed translates into significant labour savings and increased productivity when compared to electric or battery-powered burnishers. Industry experts estimate the cost of labour to produce a cleaner floor has been reduced by as much as 600 percent over traditional swing buff cleaning methods. Alongside the development of Gas burnishers has been the introduction of new chemical processes and combinations that give floors a high gloss and glassy "wet look" or mirror finish, which is now the accepted benchmark in the cleaning industry. However, the problem with traditional electric or battery-operated burnishers is that they just don't have enough RPMs to buff floors to a hard, resilient thermoplastic finish, the way a gas machine can.
