+1 (978) 295-753897602 Floor Machine — Built for Strip-and-Recoat and Burnish Routes
The OB 20 from Tornado takes traditional floor machine operation to the next generation. This unit moves away from the traditional disc style to a square pad with high-end features including a durable 3/4 inch thick epoxy coated steel frame, 180 lbs. of down pressure, 3,530 RPM running speed and an extremely low decibel level. All of this allows our OB 20 to excel at cleaning multiple hard floor types in a wide range of cleaning applications.

97602 Applications and Environments
97602 runs in K-12 schools, healthcare facilities, government buildings, offices, and retail spaces during strip-and-recoat cycles. Contract floor-care companies cycle it across multi-account routes for stripping, scrubbing, buffing, and bonneting hard floors. Restoration contractors use it for post-flood floor prep before sealer or new finish goes down.
97602 Pad Drive, RPM, and Build Detail
97602 drives a pad or brush at the listed RPM through a planetary or direct-drive system; pair with the matching pad driver and consult the pad chart for the right grit before stripping, scrubbing, or bonneting. Pad/brush size 20" matches standard Tornado and aftermarket pad inventory. Replacement cord, drive belt, and bearings are stocked under matching Tornado catalog numbers — keep a quarterly PAR for fleet uptime.
