Tornado's cylindrical brush automatic scrubbers are designed for environmental sustainability. These units conserve natural resources including water, solution and source materials, and also operate at a whisper-quiet 67 dB, which is perfect for use in noise-sensitive facilities such as hospitals, schools, libraries, restaurants, retail shops, and more.
