For schools and other major commercial facilities, whenever there’s a large surface area with natural wood floors, it may be necessary, over time, to sand them down. Stripping, cleaning, polishing, and waxing are all essential to maintain them looking their best and being optimal, especially when you consider that a basketball court needs to be even and have the right level of traction, but every so often it might be necessary to sand them down.
For this, Centaur Floor Machines created the Woodpecker, which is one of the optimal floor sanders that minimizes dust. That means it can be used in many different situations and environments for a variety of purposes.
It also cleans grout.
The Woodpecker is incredibly versatile and will allow commercial facilities to not just use it as a sanding machine, but also to clean grout. When grout dirt builds up, can be extremely difficult to get clean. With the Woodpecker, a simple attachment makes it incredibly easy to use over ceramic and other tile surfaces.
It includes two fluorescent light bulbs.
This means it can be used in almost any area, even if it’s not optimal lighting.
It comes with its own attached vacuum.
The reason why the Woodpecker is considered dustless is because it has an exhaust port and vacuum that is easily attached to the machine that will remove airborne dust. This can be optimal in school settings, even when children are still in session. While they won’t be using the gym facility while this sanding process is going on, by minimizing dust, it helps to keep it from infiltrating into the hallway and other areas of the facility.
It is also adaptable for stonework and offers a soft start and single speed at 1 ½ hp.
