Floor polishing machine and single-disc cleaning machine E400S

Columbus Single Disc Machine E 400|S

Columbus Single Disc Machine E 400|S is a professional low-speed single disc floor cleaning machine designed for a wide range of intensive cleaning and floor maintenance applications. Developed as part of Columbus’s long-established range of single disc machines, the E 400|S is built for daily professional use and combines a robust construction with versatile cleaning performance. The machine can be used for deep cleaning, sanding, spray cleaning, shampooing and polishing when equipped with the appropriate accessories and tools.

The E 400|S operates with a 400 mm working width, making it suitable for controlled and efficient cleaning of a variety of floor areas. Its low-speed operating system runs at 140 rpm, providing the mechanical action required for demanding floor maintenance tasks. Columbus specifically positions this low-speed single disc machine for applications such as stripping hard floors and crystallising stone flooring.

One of the main engineering features of the Columbus E 400|S is its maintenance-free planetary gearing. The non-wearing planetary drive is designed to provide smooth and reliable operation while reducing maintenance requirements. According to Columbus, this system contributes to quiet running and consistent cleaning results during continuous professional use.

The machine is powered by a 230 V / 50 Hz electrical system with a total power rating of 1,200 W. It is equipped with a 12-metre mains cable, giving the operator a practical working radius for cleaning commercial and professional facilities. The corded design makes the E 400|S suitable for applications where a continuous electrical power supply is available and extended cleaning sessions are required.

With a machine weight of 40 kg, the Columbus E 400|S provides a stable operating platform for professional floor treatment. Its solid construction includes a robust cast aluminium housing, designed to withstand demanding daily use. Columbus describes the machine as a durable professional solution manufactured for long-term operation.

The E 400|S also focuses on operator comfort and ergonomics. It features an infinitely adjustable steering handle, allowing the operator to adjust the working position for safer and more comfortable use. This is particularly useful during extended cleaning operations where proper handling and ergonomics can improve overall usability.

Noise reduction is another benefit of the machine’s design. The official technical data lists a noise level of approximately 57 dB(A), and Columbus describes the machine as ultra-quiet, making it suitable for use during working hours in many professional environments.

The compact machine dimensions are 415 × 550 × 1,200 mm, allowing the E 400|S to be transported and manoeuvred more easily within professional facilities. The official technical data also lists a maximum ground clearance of 145 mm and a maximum working height of 300 mm, supporting access to appropriate areas beneath furniture or equipment where the available clearance allows.

A major advantage of the Columbus E 400|S is its versatility. With suitable brushes, pad holders and accessories, the machine can be adapted for multiple cleaning tasks rather than being limited to a single application. Depending on the selected equipment, it can support deep cleaning, floor sanding, spray cleaning, carpet shampooing and polishing. Columbus also highlights the possibility of intensive cleaning of textile floor coverings with appropriate accessories while reducing the amount of cleaning chemicals required.

The Columbus range includes accessories compatible with the E 400|S, such as different scrub brushes, shampooing brushes, polishing brushes, pad holders and grinding discs. The official catalogue also lists options including a spray unit, a 12-litre tank and an additional 15 kg weight for specific applications. These accessories allow the machine to be configured according to the cleaning task and floor type.

The Columbus E 400|S Single Disc Machine is suitable for professional cleaning contractors, commercial facilities, offices, hotels, schools, healthcare environments, retail spaces and other locations that require regular floor maintenance. Its versatility also makes it suitable for different hard-floor treatment applications, including stripping, cleaning, polishing and stone floor crystallisation when the appropriate tools are used.

Overall, the Columbus Single Disc Machine E 400|S is a professional low-speed floor cleaning machine that combines a 400 mm working width, 140 rpm operating speed, 1,200 W power rating, maintenance-free planetary gearing, 40 kg machine weight and a robust cast aluminium housing.
