38 - Squeegee System
Squeegee
The squeegee has a front and rear squeegee blade, creating
a vacuum area in between where water can be drawn up
from the fast moving airflow. The front squeegee blade is
intended to permit wastewater to enter the middle of the
squeegee’s vacuum area, yet still maintain enough of a seal
to not completely lose vacuum The rear squeegee blade is
intended to create a tighter seal to the floor, and also act as
a wiper to prevent wastewater from being left behind the
machine
