THE WORKING PRINCIPLE
FRONT 
1.Cleaning liquid, in the solution tank, is applied to the floor by gravity through the solution manifold.
2.The contra rotating brushes scrub the floor and also throw the dirty water on the conveyor drum. The front brush does most of the scrubbing and drying. The rear brush completes the scrubbing and collects the remaining water off the floor.
3.A blade fitted to the dirty water tank wipes the drum and collects the dirty water.
