Advance Floor Cleaning Equipment

In 1910, Merritt Pond founded the Advance Machine Shop, which originally repaired equipment found in grain mills and expanded into manufacturing floor polishing equipment in 1928. In 1989, the Pond family sold the company, which merged with Nilfisk in 1994. As of 2011, Advance had global manufacturing facilities that make commercial and industrial floor equipment
  1. Types

    • Advance produces floor cleaning equipment like carpet extractors, vacuums and combination floor sweepers and floor scrubbers. Advance also makes floor buffing machines and floor burnishers.

    Cleaning Performance

    • Advance floor scrubbers clean between 13,000 and 100,000 square feet of flooring each hour. Advance sweeper models clean flooring in 26- to 78-inch-wide sections. Advance floor machines and burnishers feature polishing pads ranging from 13 to 24 inches wide, and propane-powered burnishers polish up to 33,000 square feet of flooring over the course of an hour.

    Considerations

    • Advance manufactures commercial vacuum, sweeper, scrubber and carpet extractor models that allow operators to sit and direct equipment with the help of a steering wheel. The company offers a floor cleaning equipment leasing program for commercial and industrial clients who don't want to invest in buying equipment.
