7.2 Description
The machine dries the floor using an in-
tegrated Drying System.
After the washing, the solution used
with the mechanical action of the brush
to remove the dirt, is collected by a sys-
tem which vacuum it out from the floor.
The system is basically made by a vac-
uum motor which produces an under-
pressure in the system. This underpres-
sure causes an air flow which flows in
the whole vacuum circuit.
The air that flows in the squeegee
(when it is lowered on the floor) allows
it to collect the water on the floor and,
via the vacuum system, is brought to the
recovery tank.
In the recovery tank the water mixed
with the dirt stops and the air keep flow-
ing throughout the circuit reaching the
vacuum motor and being discharged in
the environment.
