The Nilfisk BU500 is a professional-grade ultra high speed burnisher, engineered to deliver exceptional gloss performance across large areas and demanding commercial environments. Operating at 1500RPM, this machine is purpose-built for producing a deep, reflective “wet-look” shine on hard floors, making it ideal for hospitals, schools, retail stores, and corporate buildings where presentation standards must remain consistently high.
Designed with durability, safety, and operator comfort in mind, the BU500 is one of Nilfisk’s most dependable and efficient burnishing systems.
The BU500 runs at a true ultra high speed of 1500RPM, the optimum zone for activating floor polish, improving surface temperature, and producing mirror-quality finishes. Unlike slower single-speed machines that polish rather than burnish, this model achieves:
Whether maintaining sealed vinyl, terrazzo, marble, or other resilient flooring, the BU500 ensures professional, repeatable results.
With its dead man’s safety switch, high-visibility cable, and trip fuse protection, the BU500 places operator and bystander safety first. These features make it exceptionally suitable for healthcare settings, where reliability and controlled operation are essential.
Its quiet motor, smooth handling, and controlled pad pressure allow burnishing to be carried out without disrupting staff, patients, or visitors.
Built around a heavy-duty metal frame with large transport wheels, protective bumpers, and durable gloss-coated surfaces, the BU500 stands up to daily commercial workloads with ease. Weighing 41kg, it offers exceptional stability during burnishing, helping the pad maintain consistent floor contact for an even and uniform finish.
With a 510mm / 20" brush width, the BU500 covers more area per pass, making it suitable for large buildings where efficiency matters. The integrated pad holder ensures perfect pad alignment and stability during high-speed operation.
