Difference between an air flow and a high speed rotary buffer

WASHER

I have been asked to fill in a questionaire from work, and it ask the question "what is the difference between an air flow and a high speed rotary buffer, I honestly don't know the answer, tried googling the question, but none the wiser really.

Can anyone help me with a straight forward answer.

Thank you in anticipation.

The first question to answer is "What the hell is an airflow."

that is the second question. The first is what is a buffer. I was thinking railway wagons - but a quick google on 'rotary buffer' indicates it is a machine for polishing cars. And there does appear to be an airflow buffer too.

He/ She must be a cleaner / janitor ..

The only info i can find on the word "airflow" is a Victor rotary floor polishing machine ...the word airflow has now been replaced by "Exhauster".........It's basically a rotary floor buffer fitted with this gizmo that vacuums as it polishes .

so does not kick up dust ..or alergens

The airflow model is not made anymore ..and has been replaced with the Europer model

airflow/exhauster models have skirts around the polishing head ...and large dust box things

Hope that answers your question...I don't know zilch about floor polishers

and next time remember google .

Thank you for your replies.

I did google it, couldn't find much on airflow.

I work as an Assistant Site Manager within a school, (new to the role, less than a month) and need to have an understanding/working knowledge of cleaning systems the school uses, I have had training on a floor buffer but I have no idea of the difference of an airflow and a floor buffer. I even asked the cleaning supervisor and he had no idea of an airflow either, must be an out of date questionnaire if the term "airflow" is no longer used....cut backs are a little drastic if they cannot update and reprint the questionnaire!

You learn something every day. If the OP had given us a bit of context originally, I'm sure the answer would have appeared as if by magic. As indeed it now has.
