Cylindrical Brush at 1300 RPM — What It Addresses
The BR 18/11's cylindrical brush at 1300 RPM agitates soil from tile grout lines and textured floor surfaces that disc pads ride over. At 50 lbs of brush pressure it removes embedded grit, food residue, and grime from grouted kitchen floors, healthcare corridors, and school hallways in one pass rather than requiring repeated disc-pad scrubbing. The 105 AH wet-acid battery provides extended runtime suitable for large facility shifts. At 66 dB, it is among the quietest walk-behind scrubbers in the Tornado lineup — 4 dB quieter than the BD 20/11 series — appropriate for use adjacent to classrooms and patient areas during the day.
