The
Floor Treating machine is a unique project
that Power Torque designed and built. The
purpose of this machine is to remove
electrical static from a surface so that
another process such as painting or printing
can be applied to the surface.
This
particular machine is self propelled, and can
be fully operated by one person, and it's main
purpose is to prepare gymnasium and roller
hockey floors so that they can be painted
with the school or rink's logo and boundary
lines.
The
process involves using numerous transformers
that increase the voltage, and the high
voltage is then applied to floor using small
blowers that actually blow the arc onto or
near the floors surface, virtually eliminating
static electricity so that the paint and or
stickers will adhere to the floor. This unit
has traveled across the country preparing
floors for colleges, stadiums, and roller
rinks. Because many of the components on this
machine are unique, and can not be found
anywhere else, Power Torque had to design
components such as the blower control boards
and the drive / differential assembly so that
this one of a kind machine would operate
properly and efficiently.
