Bissell BGDC-19 19" Commercial Floor Burnisher – 1500 RPM DC Motor

The BGDC-19 runs a 1.5 HP DC rectified motor at 1,500 RPM on a 19-inch pad for high-speed burnishing of VCT, vinyl, tile, terrazzo, and sealed concrete. The DC rectified motor design eliminates startup torque issues, low-voltage drops, and brown-out conditions. A polished aluminum chassis, non-conductive dual triggers, and non-marring full-wrap bumpers complete the commercial-grade specification. Pad driver sold separately.

How Floor Burnishing Works

Floor burnishing generates heat and friction between the pad and floor finish, which momentarily melts and redistributes the finish to create a high-gloss surface.

Floor Burnisher Pad Selection

The pad driver is sold separately — required for operation. Tan or white burnishing pads are the usual choice for 1,500 RPM maintenance burnishing on VCT and vinyl. Red buffing pads suit spray buffing applications. Natural hair pads work on sealed terrazzo and marble. Pad hardness must match floor finish hardness — too aggressive a pad at high RPM removes finish rather than redistributing it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does burnishing do to a floor?
Burnishing polishes a finished floor at high speed to produce a high-gloss shine and harden the finish. The BGDC-19 runs at 1500 RPM, which is the speed range that brings up gloss on coated VCT and similar finished floors.
What is the difference between buffing and burnishing?
Buffing runs at lower speeds, generally a few hundred RPM, to maintain and clean a floor, while burnishing runs at 1500 RPM or higher to produce a high gloss. The BGDC-19 at 1500 RPM is a burnisher, built for the high-gloss finishing step rather than scrubbing.
What is the difference between a floor scrubber and a burnisher?
A floor scrubber applies solution, agitates, and extracts dirty water to clean a floor, typically at 175 RPM. A burnisher like the BGDC-19 runs dry at 1500 RPM to polish an already-cleaned, finished floor. The scrubber cleans; the burnisher shines.
How often should you burnish a floor?
Burnishing frequency depends on traffic and finish, ranging from daily in high-traffic retail to weekly or monthly in lighter-use facilities. Burnish after the floor is clean and the finish has cured, and follow the floor-finish manufacturer's recommendations.
What RPM is the BGDC-19?
The BGDC-19 runs at 1500 RPM, driven by a 1.5 HP DC motor with a 50-foot cord. That speed places it in the burnishing range for producing a high-gloss finish on coated floors.
