Extractor/Scrubber

The Adphibian extractor/scrubber from Advance eliminates the need for two machines to clean carpets and hard floors. The industry’s first full-function extractor and scrubber, Adphibian offers simple operation for cleaning hard floors and carpets on a single platform. Operators can switch from scrubbing to extracting in just 30 seconds, with the touch of a button and change of a hose. By replacing two machines with one, Adphibian reduces equipment investment costs and simplifies operator training.

Both extraction and scrubbing modes use Advance’s AXP detergent-dispensing system. AXP eliminates operator guesswork by accurately measuring detergent at the recommended ratio. Detergent is then dispensed at the correct ratio just as solution is applied to the floor-minimizing the use of both water and detergent.
