Professional cleaning market is constantly evolving. This is why one of the main goals of companies operating in this field is to offer effective cleaning solutions for any environment, even the smallest and difficult to reach. For this reason, the range of products is increasingly broad and manufacturing companies are constantly striving to develop practical and innovative products. This is the case of mini orbital floor machines, that are small single disc machines designed to meet specific cleaning needs, offering professional cleaning results even in small spaces. Therefore we thought it might be useful to make a list that includes the 7 main reasons why you should choose a mini orbital floor machine.
Let’s start with the basics: what is a single disc machine
The single disc machine, also known as floor machine, is a well-known equipment in the world of professional cleaning, as it is used for cleaning and treating floors. The name itself explains that it is equipped with a pad or a single disc brush. Through the movement of the brush or pad, the single disc machine can scrub, smooth and polish floors.
To better understand what a single disc machine is, it is worth remembering that, like the floor scrubber, it was created with the aim of mechanizing cleaning operations. In particular, the cleaning and treatments carried out on floors of various types such as marble, terrazzo, wood, terracotta, klinker, linoleum, etc.
The option to fit brushes or abrasive disc pads with different characteristics allows single disc machines to deal with different cleaning tasks. For example with both heavy duty cleaning on industrial surfaces and delicate maintenance or polishing operations on high quality floors. Obviously it is very important to choose the most suitable model for the operation you want to carry out.
Types of single disc machines
To make a first distinction, we can say that basically there are two types of single disc machines:
- Le monospazzole tradizionali, che sfruttano la rotazione della spazzola per effettuare un’azione sulla superficie da trattare.
- Le monospazzole orbitali e roto-orbitali, che sfruttano il movimento micro orbitale per esercitare molta energia sul pavimento.
There are also further distinctions linked to specific characteristics. For example, there are floor machines that exert very little weight but high revolutions on the brush; these are particularly suitable for polishing. There are also traditional floor machines that work at low rpm (around 180 rpm), at high rpm (around 400 rpm) and dual-speed machines.
What is a mini orbital floor machine?
A mini orbital floor machine is a cleaning machine characterized by extremely compact dimensions and which uses orbital technology to work in small and hard-to-reach spaces. This equipment is enjoying great success as it allows to obtain excellent cleaning results in areas where it is not possible to work with a traditional single disc machine due to its size. CM Mini Orbital, for example, is the perfect solution for cleaning, polishing and finishing edges, corners, steps and skirting boards. We will then use this ultra-compact single disc machine from Comac as an example to list the 7 reasons why we think you should choose a mini orbital floor machine.
7 reasons why you should choose a mini orbital floor machine
Now that we have seen in detail what a mini orbital floor machine is, it’s time to list the 7 reasons why you should choose it:
- Permette di ottenere risultati professionali ovunque: in punti difficili da raggiungere e negli ambienti di dimensioni ridotte.
- È estremamente versatile e può lavorare in qualsiasi ambiente svolgendo diverse tipologie di trattamenti.
- Sfrutta la tecnologia orbitale e tutti i suoi benefici.
- Riduce l’utilizzo delle risorse rispettando l’ambiente.
- Riduce i tempi e migliora le prestazioni.
- Può essere utilizzata praticamente ovunque.
- È semplice da utilizzare, facile da trasportare e da riporre.
Professional results, anywhere!
Thanks to an extremely compact floor machine, such as the CM Mini Orbital, it is possible to obtain professional results anywhere. In fact, this orbital single disc machine is particularly suitable for cleaning and treating stairs, steps, corners, edges and skirting boards. Of course, to obtain professional results avoiding to damage the surfaces, you must use pads suitable for the type of floor. Furthermore, the small size allows a mini orbital floor machine to work even in small environments such as bathrooms, changing rooms, utility rooms, kitchens and cluttered spaces.
Extremely versatile
A compact single disc machine is extremely versatile as it is perfect for both maintenance and deep cleaning. But it is also perfect for floor finishing on marble, stoneware, concrete, terracotta, resin, parquet and wood floors: you only have to choose the most suitable pad. For example, standard abrasive pads (white, red, green and black) are suitable for both maintenance and deep cleaning and also for polishing. While the diamond pads are suitable for marble surfaces and derivatives. Melamine pads, on the other hand, are used for washing hard, microporous floors such as stoneware, ceramic and concrete floors. Lastly, the special DSWC pad is used for deep cleaning, dewaxing and wood or parquet sanding.
These are all treatments that only an ultra-compact floor machine can carry out in confined and difficult-to-reach spaces. For this reason, a model like CM Mini Orbital is perfect to work in sectors such as public, Ho.Re.Ca. and large-scale distribution and is integrated into the equipment fleet of many cleaning companies.
Orbital Technology
An ultra-compact floor machine with orbital technology allows you to take advantage of all the benefits of the micro orbital movement. Orbital cleaning, in fact, uses a micro-orbital movement that exerts a large amount of energy on the floor, enabling uniform and effective results to be obtained in a short time. Cleaning results are excellent thanks to the large number of oscillations, while the consumption of water, detergent and energy are reduced, thus cutting costs. In addition, the orbital movement does not create lateral splashes and keeps the water inside the working area, preventing the solution from being dispersed.
It is also important to remember that the anti-vibration system of the orbital technology has been designed to give maximum comfort to the operator and makes the floor machine stable, easy to handle and safe.
Reducing resource use
As we have said before, thanks to the effectiveness of its special oscillating movement orbital technology allows the floor machine to reduce water, detergent and energy consumption. This means that an ultra-compact single disc machine like CM Mini Orbital is extremely efficient while remaining environmentally friendly. The effectiveness of the orbital movement, combined with the use of specific abrasive pads, allows you to reduce and in some cases entirely eliminate the use of chemicals.
Here you can see the result we obtained using a CM Mini Orbital, water and one green abrasive pad. We removed grouting resides on gres porcelain tile floor caused by the laying of the mosaic on the wall:

Reducing cleaning time while improving performance
If you use a mini orbital floor machine where you would normally have used manual cleaning methods, you can significantly reduce the time taken for cleaning operations or surface treatments. Not to mention that, in general, a floor machine allows you to obtain better and homogeneous cleaning results due to the pressure exerted on the surface, which in the case of ultra-compact machines is small but concentrated. For example, CM Mini Orbital exerts a pressure of 10 kg on its plate, and its pad measures 25 cm in length and 13.5 cm in width. This is a considerable pressure if we think of such a small contact surface!
You can use it almost anywhere
In addition to the great versatility obtained thanks to the orbital technology and the wide choice of pads, an ultra-compact floor machine allows you to work anywhere in a comfortable way and in perfect autonomy.
CM Orbital Mini, for example, can be cable or battery powered in order to choose the right solution for your needs. Battery version allows you to move freely between one room and another without having to worry about the availability of a power outlet. Furthermore, since it is a lithium-ion battery, it can be recharged at any time and guarantees constant performance and full power until it is completely discharged.
Simple to use, easy to carry and store
Single disc machines are known for being simple to use, and the mini orbital is even more so. As a matter of fact orbital technology makes the action of the pad effective during any movement, making the machine extremely easy to use. Furthermore, since it is a small floor machine, it is easy to transport, easy to store and you can use it in different environments.
CM Mini Orbital, for example, is equipped with two rear wheels for making transportation very easy. The handlebar closes and the floor machine remains in a vertical position, to be conveniently stored in any place.
