COMAC OMNIA 32 - Choice and Use of Brushes

CHOICE AND USE OF BRUSHES
POLYPROPYLENE BRUSH (PPL)
It is used on all types of floors, which are hot water resistant (not more than 60
°C). The Polypropylene brush is nonhygroscopic
and therefore conserves its characteristics even if working in the wet conditions.
NYLON BRUSH
It is used on all types of floors with excellent wear and hot water resistance (more than 60
°C). The nylon is hygroscopic and so,
over time, looses its characteristics working on the wet.
ABRASIVE BRUSH
The brush bristles are charged with very aggressive abrasives. It is used to clean very dirty floors. To avoid floor damages, work
strictly only with the necessary pressure.
STEEL BRUSH
The bristles are made of steel wires or flat blades or can be mixed, by means of steel and synthetic fibres. The steel wire brush is
used to descale very uneven floors or with wide joints. The brush with steel blades is used to scrape off more resistant
incrustations.
THICKNESS OF THE BRISTLES
The thicker the bristles are, the more rigid they will be. These ones are therefore used on smooth floors or with small joints.
On uneven floors with deep joints it is recommended that, softer bristles, which enter more easily in depth, are used.
Please bear in mind that, when the bristles are worn out and get too short, they will get rigid and cannot penetrate anymore. As
well as for thick bristles, the brush will begin to jump.
PAD HOLDER
The pad holder is recommended to clean glossy areas.
There are two types of pad holders:
1.
The traditional pad holder is equipped with anchor points, which allow the abrasive pad to be held and dragged during the
work process.
2.
The pad holder is of the CENTER LOCK type, apart from the anchor points, is equipped with a central blocking release system
made in plastic. This allows a perfect match with the abrasive pad and to hold it without the risk of falling down. This type of
pad holder is recommended especially for machines with more brushes, where the centering of the pads is difficult.
