|---|---|---|---|
| Motor Type | AC motor | DC motor, precisely balanced for optimal performance | Gas engine, typically 18 HP Kawasaki |
| Speed | 1500 RPM | Operates at an impressive 2000 RPM | 1800-2100+ RPM |
| Pad/Apron Size | 20-21 in. | 21-in. apron | 21-28 in. |
| Power Requirement | Standard 15-amp circuit, corded | Corded electric, DC motor | Propane tank, no electrical cord required |
| Pad Driver | Standard or floating pad driver | Flexible pad driver for secure and even pad contact | Floating swivel pad driver |
| Mobility | Limited by cord length | Limited by cord length | Untethered, no cord restrictions |
| Emissions | None | None | Combustion exhaust, requires ventilation |
| Best Suited For | Smaller facilities on a budget, basic gloss maintenance | Commercial and industrial facilities wanting premium electric performance without propane | Large facilities needing maximum speed, output, and cord-free mobility |
Why The Mercury Ultra DC Burnisher Is Worth The Investment
This isn't just a high-speed burnisher, it's built with a precisely balanced DC motor and a flexible pad driver, giving facility managers and commercial cleaners a smooth, consistent 2000 RPM high-gloss finish without the combustion exhaust and ventilation requirements that come with propane-powered burnishers.
The DC-21-1500 specifically addresses the needs of facility managers and commercial cleaners who want professional-grade, high-gloss burnishing results in commercial or industrial environments without switching to propane power.
Premium DC Performance, No Combustion Exhaust. Operating at 2000 RPM through a precisely balanced DC motor, this burnisher delivers a smooth, consistent high-gloss finish comparable to propane UHS burnishers, all while avoiding the combustion exhaust and ventilation concerns that come with gas-powered units.
Built For Professional-Grade Results
The balanced design ensures precise burnishing control for consistent, professional-grade results
Operating at 2000 RPM delivers a smooth, consistent high-gloss finish on a variety of hard floor surfaces
The 21-in. apron provides wide coverage, improving efficiency and reducing cleaning time
Engineered For Reliable, User-Friendly Operation
The flexible pad driver provides secure and even pad contact, enhancing overall performance and finish quality
Built for reliability and ease of use in demanding commercial and industrial environments
Straightforward electric operation avoids the fuel handling and maintenance associated with propane engines
Real Savings
No combustion exhaust eliminates the need for ventilation infrastructure required by propane burnishers
Electric operation avoids the ongoing cost of propane fuel and engine maintenance
The wide 21-in. apron reduces the number of passes needed to cover large floor areas, saving labor time
Free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately
The Bottom Line Facility managers and commercial cleaners who want professional-grade, high-gloss burnishing results without the exhaust and ventilation requirements of propane power can't get that combination from a basic AC-motor burnisher or a gas-powered UHS unit.
