At Sparkoz, innovation is at the core of our mission to deliver adaptable and high-performance cleaning solutions. The launch of the TN70 Cylindrical Brush Edition redefines versatility by introducing the industry's first scrubber compatible with both disc and cylindrical brushes. This article dives into the technical distinctions between disc and cylindrical brush systems, emphasizing cost efficiency, adaptability, and the TN70’s unique dual-platform design.

1. Disc Brush Scrubbers: Deep Cleaning with Cost-Effective Flexibility
How They Work
Disc brushes are flat, round brushes that rotate while water is dispensed through the centre of the scrubber. Disc brushes apply direct downward pressure to lift embedded dirt and polish surfaces. This type of cleaning typically uses less water than cylindrical cleaning and can be used for a wider range of applications.
Ideal Applications
• Floor Types:
￮ Flat surfaces
￮ Vinyl Composition Tile (VCT)
￮ Polished concrete, epoxy floors
• Environments: Schools, retail spaces, healthcare facilities.
Advantages
• Deep Cleaning & Polishing: Enhanced pressure ensures thorough dirt removal and shine restoration.
• Low-Cost Maintenance: Interchangeable scrubbing pads reduce long-term expenses compared to fixed brush systems.
• Adaptability: Compatible with a wide range of industry-standard pads, ensuring easy sourcing and customization.
2. Cylindrical Brush Scrubbers: Debris Management for Rugged Environments
How They Work

The brushes rotate in opposite directions at high speeds, effectively cleaning deep into floors with grout lines or cracks, while simultaneously sweeping debris into a built-in collection tray. This design eliminates pre-sweeping, ideal for environments with debris.
Ideal Applications
• Floor Types:
￮ Textured concrete, Rubber flooring
￮ Ceramic tile with grout lines, Natural stone
• Environments: Warehouses, manufacturing plants, parking facilities
Advantages
• Sweep and Scrub Simultaneously: There is no need to sweep before cleaning
• Deep Crevice Cleaning: Reaches grout lines and uneven surfaces effortlessly.
• Heavy-Duty Performance: Built to handle large debris like metal shavings or food waste
Disc Scrubbing:
Disc scrubbers wash, or strip wax from the floor. Disk machines offer easy to change, variably aggressive, pads or brushes. These features make disk scrubbers ideal for retail applications where pads are not only inexpensive, but offer a great deal of surface contact for scuff mark control and floor shine. When aggressive pads are coated with the stripped wax, they can be conveniently thrown away. For industrial applications, disk brushes often make sense because they can accept greater down pressure than cylindrical brooms, and heavily soiled floors benefit from heavy down pressure. Example: A demonstration person can stand on a disk brush (in our case this is up to 250 pounds of pressure) and the brush bristles do not deflect. For this reason, your see them on machines that offer great down pressure such as the Advance and American Lincoln combustion engine cleaning machines. But you will note, these combination machines still include separate dry sweeper brooms to collect the solid debris.
Cylindrical Scrubbing:
A cylindrical scrub brush system will (wet) sweep small amounts of solid debris into a removable tray while also washing the floor. You eliminate the manual pre sweeping of your factory or warehouse floor for greater productivity and fewer clogs in the squeegee section of the scrubber. Plus there is often no need for an additional separate sweeper or even a combination machine when a cylindrical machine will do the job. Cylindrical scrubbers usually turn their brushes at a speed that is three times the rotation of a disk brush. This will often offset the greater surface area advantage that disk scrub decks offer. Cylindrical scrub brushes do keep less bristle surface in contact with the floor, but the revolving line of bristles will rotate on the floor with three times the rotation frequency of disk brush bristles.
Which is better?
Both will clean your floor!
Pro Disk: Disc scrub brushes have the advantage on the issue of lower initial cost and simplicity of maintenance. A disk brush will last longer and a replacement brush usually will cost less. Cylindrical decks (as an option) will typically increase your scrubber cost. Plus it helps to add side brooms to cylindrical systems to steer the debris into the path of the of the scrub deck and out of the outer edges of the squeegee.
