Aztec Introduces the Grand Finale Floor Finisher

June 15th, 2010

Aztec completes the Sidewinder™ Stripping System with an easy to use floor wax applicator - Aztec is introducing the Grand Finale, the newest addition to an extensive line of floor stripping, buffing and polishing machines. The Aztec Grand Finale is a simple, rugged floor chemical application machine designed to apply floor finish, concrete densifiers, hardeners and sealers quickly and uniformly. The Grand Finale also completes the Aztec Sidewinder™ Stripping System with an easy to use floor wax applicator.

For over 20 years the Aztec Sidewinder System has saved customers hundreds of man-hours on the labor-intensive job of floor stripping. The Sidewinder Stripping & Refinishing System can now also save them many hours on the slow process of applying floor finish.

The Grand Finale provides an easy, high speed way to lay down a smooth, uniform coat of fresh floor finish at an average rate of approximately 50,000 square feet/hour. The janitorial/sanitation industry will quickly recognize huge labor savings in the elimination of baseboard splash and product waste associated with finish puddling.

The Grand Finale is the newest addition to Aztec’s extensive line of high speed floor stripping, buffing, scrubbing and polishing machines. Aztec’s VP of Sales, Steven Spengler said, “For years our customers have encouraged Aztec to produce a wax applicator to complete the Sidewinder Stripping System. Therefore, we are very excited about our new Grand Finale. With Aztec’s Grand Finale, we complete our arsenal of high speed custom built equipment for VCT floors. By the way, it’s works well on wood and concrete floors too”.

Whit Beverly, President of Aztec Products said, “As a manufacturer, Aztec is thrilled to now be selling a finish applicator that we make ‘in-house’ at our Philadelphia, PA facility. Because we make it ‘in-house’, we have an extensive inventory of reasonably-priced service and replacement parts at our fingertips for quick shipment to customers in need. Quality is assured by Aztec’s production team, and customer service calls are answered by the same people who make the machines. The other great thing about the Grand Finale as a product is that it addresses both of the markets that Aztec serves as a company – VCT maintenance and concrete floor polishing.”

Aztec Products, Inc. is a family-owned business based in Montgomeryville, PA. For over 30 years, Aztec has developed a series of innovative floor cleaning machines that are engineered for quality work at high speeds, and has become known as the problem-solver for the floor cleaning industry.

Aztec Introduces the UltraGrind Concrete Grinding and Polishing Machine

June 8th, 2010

PROUDLY MADE IN THE USA! Aztec Products, Inc. introduced its prototype of the all new UltraGrind propane powered, planetary head, gear driven, concrete grinding and polishing machine at the World of Concrete Show in Las Vegas in February, 2010. Today Aztec announces the UltraGrind is now in production and available with diamonds and chemicals for grinding and polishing concrete floors.

The UltraGrind is the newest addition to Aztec’s extensive line of floor stripping, buffing and polishing machines. The Aztec UltraGrind has been designed for the more aggressive concrete floor grinding and polishing applications, where the goal is to both remove material and highly polish concrete floors. The UltraGrind machine is complementary to the DiamondShine, which is specifically designed for ultra high speed, large area concrete polishing only applications.

Weighing more than 500 pounds, the UltraGrind provides the ideal 40 pounds of head pressure per diamond abrasive for maximum results. The UltraGrind has industry-standard 2-inch exhaust ports for concrete dust vacuums. The UltraGrind also has an 8 gallon water tank, potentially adding up to 80 additional pounds of head pressure, and allowing the user to re-wet the floor while polishing. Like all of Aztec’s machines, it is made entirely in the USA.

The Aztec UltraGrind is powered by the new 20hp Kawasaki 603cc engine, featuring a heavy duty canister air filter.

Aztec’s VP of Sales, Steven Spengler said, “Our customers have requested for some time now that we manufacture a heavy duty concrete grinding machine. Aztec is known industry-wide for quality, value and serious time and labor savings. The propane powered UltraGrind is powerful, and will prove to be a valuable addition to the Aztec line-up for our contractor friends in the concrete floor industry”.

Whit Beverly, President of Aztec Products said, “We are really excited about having a gear driven concrete grinding machine to complement our DiamondShine polishing machine. The gear drive of the UltraGrind will allow it to be used in the most aggressive floor grinding applications”.

Aztec Certifies New Kawasaki 603CC Engine

March 16th, 2010

Aztec Products is proud to announce its EPA certification of the new Kawasaki FS481V engine. This 603CC engine yields a maximum of 22hp when set-up to burn gasoline. With Aztec Products’ custom-made LPG carburetor, Aztec’s certified testing lab was able to achieve the impressive results of 17.19hp, with emission numbers of only 1.132 CO g/kw-hr and 1.898 HC+NOx g/kw-hr.

Providing sufficient horsepower in a floor cleaning machine is important. The higher the percentage of the engine’s horsepower required by the mechanics of the machine, the harder the engine has to work. The harder the engine works, the shorter the engine life and the more preventative maintenance required. The power of the Kawasaki 603CC engine ensures that if you care for your Aztec machine properly, it will last a very long time.

The emission numbers are far better than those required by EPA and CARB. Emission levels this low take “Green Cleaning” to a whole new level. These low emission numbers were previously unheard of without employing closed-loop fuel monitoring systems, which have historically proven to be both expensive and problematic. Aztec machines equipped with this 603CC engine meet LEED IEQ Credit 3.4 Requirements for Green cleaning and Facility LEED certification.

President Whit Beverly said, “Kawasaki has really done a great job with this engine. We got a nearly 15% power increase with no price increase. I am sure our customers will really love it.”

Steven Spengler, Vice President of Sales, said “This new stronger engine will give Aztec machines the edge on performance in the concrete floor industry where the torque of floor-to-pad resistance is especially demanding.”

This new EPA certified Kawasaki 603CC engine will be available on all Aztec Sidewinders, Reliant and Answer propane buffers, and the DiamondShine and UltraGrind concrete floor polishers.

Aztec Products, Inc. is a family-owned business based in Montgomeryville, PA. For over 30 years, Aztec has developed a series of innovative floor cleaning machines that are engineered for quality work at high speeds, and has become known as the problem-solver for the floor cleaning industry. Aztec is proud to manufacture all of its products in the USA.

Aztec is actively working to improve nationwide distribution coverage.

WORLD OF CONCRETE RECAP - What stays in Vegas? Not us, whew!

February 16th, 2010

What a fantastic show! Although the actual floor space may have been smaller than in the past years, the attendance was great and we enjoyed meeting up with many of our concrete floor customers.

While in Las Vegas, Aztec unveiled the new UltraGrind to an overwhelming amount of positive feedback. The UltraGrind is the ultimate propane powered, planetary head, gear driven, concrete grinding machine. The excitement was high for this very flexible machine, designed for grinding, scarifying, and doing all general concrete floor preparation. People were particularly enthusiastic about the idea of eliminating the expense and restrictions that generators and cords bring to the scene. Not to mention the clean up of those cords once the job is complete…

Again this year there was a lot of interest in the Aztec ProScrub autoscrubber and the Aztec Reliant propane buffer – the only twin belted burnisher in the industry. Aztec is currently in the process of perfecting dust control and a water spray method to make the job easier for the contractor on the job.

While at the show, Aztec’s Vice President of Sales, Steven Spengler, along with our Technical Service Manager, Dave Groff attended several seminars involving all aspects of concrete, from Pre-Construction Planning to the Final Finish. “I have great respect for the concrete contractors, finishers and testing agencies who have invested education and training. They comply with the strict requirements and follow specs that bring out the very best in concrete floors for safety, appearance and longevity”, says Steven.

On the more adventurous side of the Las Vegas trip, Aztec employees made numerous “contributions” to various casinos along the strip, and also enjoyed some meals and music at the House of Blues, Mandalay Bay’s Foundation Room and Pure nightclub, to name just a few.

By the close of the World of Concrete show, the east coast was about to receive several feet of snow, and so the panic and scramble to find an uncancelled flight home became quite a challenge. Our Vice President of Sales, Steven Spengler, and our Administrative Assistant, Crystal Rose were temporarily stranded on the strip. But thank heavens for their continued patience, as they returned home on Super Bowl Sunday, just in time for the kick off.

Introducing Two New Aztec Contractor Confidence Initiatives

December 1st, 2009

Aztec looks at contractor equipment purchases not as a one-time transaction, but as the beginning or continuation of a long term partnership between Aztec and our customers.

It’s perfectly normal to shop around and compare prices and customer service when purchasing your cleaning equipment, however many don’t realize that the cost of buying multiple brands and models of equipment is much higher than it initially appears to be. Although it sometimes seems cost effective to buy whatever brand is on sale or cheapest today, this is actually a very expensive way to build an equipment fleet.

Over time each of those machines will require different replacement parts, different manuals, different service intervals and different knowledge to maintain. It makes both good financial sense and good common sense to standardize on one brand of machine to reduce all of these expenses and headaches.

Aztec hopes that contractors will standardize on our equipment and offers the following two incentives to help promote that decision:

Guaranteed Trade In – Maximizing your Investment Value:
Aztec provides excellent value throughout the equipment life cycle. When you want to buy new equipment, you will be surprised how aggressive Aztec prices are. This is particularly true when one considers that each machine has a custom-made LPG carburetor and is proudly “Made in the USA.” Each machine is also emission tested twice and floor tested once.

When it comes time to upgrade to a new machine, contractors no longer need to be worried that they will be stuck with an unneeded machine. Aztec guarantees that it will offer a fair trade-in value for any used Aztec machine towards a new Aztec machine. The trade-in machine needs to be a machine that Aztec is still marketing. The trade-in machine needs to be resalable and in working order.

Aggressive prices at the front end and guaranteed trade at the back end, Aztec provides excellent value throughout the equipment life cycle.

Contractor Investment Assurance – Peace of Mind for Large Purchases:
A store chain has just offered you a 50 store contract, so now you need to buy 50 propane burnishers. Where do you buy - and what happens if something happens to make you lose that contract down the road? What if you have no other place for those machines?

Aztec offers you some peace of mind. The Aztec guarantee is for all purchases of 10 or more propane burnishers or ProScrub auto scrubbers, if the contract requiring those machines is lost within the 24 months of purchase date, Aztec will buy back the entire lot of machines, provided they are in good working order.

So go get those big accounts, confident in the knowledge that, should something go wrong, Aztec “has your back.”

Last, but certainly not least, we want to brag a little about the Aztec Service Department. Dave Groff, our Technical Services Manager, has been with Aztec for 18 years. Rob Davis, our Production Foreman has been here 13 years. When you call Aztec for parts and service you will get accurate detailed information and the right parts sent, every time. Give us a call, we’d love to hear from you!
