Namco 2125 17-Inch Floor Buffer – 1.5 HP, 175 RPM

Namco 2125 17-Inch Floor Buffer – 1.5 HP at 175 RPM The Namco 2125 is a 17-inch commercial floor buffer running a 1.5 HP motor at 175 RPM. The 17-inch pad fits through standard restroom doorways and narrow corridors where 20-inch machines cannot operate. At 175 RPM with a 1.5 HP motor, the 2125 handles the full range of floor maintenance tasks: stripping with black pads, scrubbing with green pads, and buffing with red or white pads. 2125 Motor Output, Pad Size, and Floor Machine Applications Motor: 1.5 HP — consistent torque at 175 RPM under stripping and scrubbing pad loads on VCT, terrazzo, and concrete. Speed: 175 RPM — standard stripping and scrubbing speed; compatible with full range of 17-inch rotary floor maintenance pads. Pad size: 17 inch — fits through 24-inch restroom doorways and around restroom fixtures that block 20-inch machines. 17-Inch vs. 20-Inch Floor Machines for Facility Maintenance The primary selection factor between 17-inch and 20-inch floor machines is the access width required for the areas being cleaned. Standard commercial 20-inch machines fit through most doorways (typically 32–36 inches) but cannot navigate around toilet bases, into restroom stalls, and through the tight turns required in small service areas. The Namco 2125 at 17 inches handles these confined areas while still delivering 1.5 HP motor output—the same horsepower as most 20-inch professional machines. Facilities with a mix of large open floors and tight access areas often run both a 20-inch machine for open areas and a 17-inch like the 2125 for confined spaces, rather than accepting the reduced productivity of a 17-inch on the open floors. Pad Selection at 175 RPM for the 2125 At 175 RPM, the 2125 accepts standard 17-inch rotary floor pads across the full maintenance range. Black stripping pads are appropriate for removing aged finish from VCT with chemical stripper. Green scrubbing pads handle daily and periodic scrubbing on tile and VCT without chemical stripper. Red spray buffing pads restore gloss to maintained VCT between strip-and-refinish cycles. White polishing pads apply and smooth finish coats during the refinishing process. Pad selection drives task performance—the machine provides consistent 175 RPM across all pad types. Specification Value Model 2125 Pad Size 17 inch Motor 1.5 HP Speed 175 RPM
