TORNADOR arrives at Maniac Auto! We reveal the full range.

Many people call their cleaning gun "a TORNADOR" without knowing that it is actually a brand in its own right. Better yet, it is unquestionably the reference brand, as the quality of their products is beyond dispute.
Pioneers of the Tornado system for cleaning guns — a system they themselves invented — they have been continuously developing new products and improving existing ones for 25 years. Covering all fields, from large-scale automotive (washing, detailing, garages, rental companies, etc.) to industry, TORNADOR has established itself as the leader in the field.

Let's discover the new range in this detailed article.

TORNADOR Black Z-020 RS:

The Rolls-Royce of cleaning guns. All the expertise of TORNADOR brought together in this masterpiece that is the new Black Z-020 RS.
Everything has been revised in this latest version: more cleaning power, an optimized rotation system to deliver better performance from as little as 4.5 bars of pressure. Vibrations have also been reduced in this version to offer better maneuverability during long working sessions. The optimal working pressure is approximately 6 bars, but it can be used over the range of 4.5–9.2 bars.

The bearing-based rotary system is retained, offering great reliability, along with a swivel connector for quick connection and above all excellent maneuverability regardless of the direction of work.

Ultimately, the Z-020 RS gives you optimized working time, better results and a better user experience.

Some specifications:

Compressed air operating range: 4.5–9.2 bars
Optimal range: 6 bars
Air consumption: 270 l/min
Strong start-up impulse, more power, better cleaning.
Swivel connector included
Ergonomic, low vibrations.
Suitable for piston compressors min. 2.2kW at 240V
Manufacturer ref: 602 420.

TORNADOR Classic Z-010:

The iconic version of the TORNADOR range, the one everyone knows, the "main-runner" so to speak. The Z-010. This cleaning gun is a very interesting choice for those who want to optimize their working time on interior cleaning. It is capable of cleaning hard plastics, foam plastics, textiles, alcantara, and dislodging all the dust from ventilation grilles or seat rails effortlessly.

This Z-010 will require the use of a solid compressor, with a tank of at least 100L, or ideally 200L, as it operates optimally at a pressure of 8 bars. This high pressure will be hard to sustain without constant recharging on smaller tanks. That said, it can be used over a pressure range of 4.5 bars to 9.2 bars, but the ideal is 8 bars. Compared to the Z-020, that is 2 bars more to supply.
The main difference between the Z-010 and the Z-020 lies in the rotary system. The Z-020 uses a bearing-based system while the Z-010 does not. Nevertheless, the Z-010 remains a very robust gun, allowing less product consumption than its predecessor (thus increased efficiency).

The overall aesthetic is red on the Z-010, which immediately distinguishes it from the Z-020 in full black finish.

Finally, the last difference between the Z-010 and the Z-020: the rotary nozzle, which is plastic on the former and metal on the latter.

Some specifications:

Air and detergent solution cleaning system
Fine and controlled misting
Reduced product consumption
Low residual moisture level
High resistance to elevated pressures (up to 9.2 bars)
Long-term availability of spare parts
Standard pneumatic connection
Designed for intensive professional use
Air pressure range: 4.5–9.2 bar
Optimal performance: from 8 bars
Air consumption: approx. 270 l/min
Compatible with 2.2 kW / 240 V piston compressors
Manufacturer reference: 602 410

TORNADOR Foam Z-011 RS:

Z-011 RS is a rather special cleaning gun as it generates a pre-wash foam that is very useful for cleaning the most soiled areas of the interior before finishing work with the other guns Z-010 or Z-020.
Its very special cylindrical nozzle allows it to generate a very dense, stable foam that will allow an optimized dwell time and subsequent working time.

The ideal use of Z-011 RS will be on interiors with carpet mats requiring mechanical work afterwards with brushes and other accessories. However, it will also be possible to use this cleaning gun during the exterior pre-wash phase for the bodywork, door jambs and engine bay.

In the box you will find two adapters to allow you to apply the foam precisely to surfaces without it running.

TORNADOR Basic Z-014 RS:

A fantastic dry-blowing gun for complete interior dusting, the Z-014 RS will make your life completely easier.
Fitted with a very ergonomic handle, it shares the same architecture as the Z-010 but without the reservoir for the cleaning solution.

Ideal for cleaning air vents, blowing out floor mats, seat rails, etc., while retaining the ergonomics and handling of a cleaning gun like the Z-010 or the Z-020. You can quickly remove dust, sand and pet hair with its cyclonic system.

The build of the Z-014 RS is solid and designed for continuous use, particularly for cleaning businesses.

Another possible use of Z-014 RS is blowing out your polishing pads. You can thus easily clean polish dust from the pads during your work.

TORNADOR Mini Z-007:

This mini gun with a less narrow cone than its bigger sibling the Z-008 RS, allows perfect accessibility in every nook and cranny.
Every precision dusting job will become very easy. In short, it comes into action when access for standard guns like the Z-014 or Z-010 and Z-020 becomes impossible.

Its "pedal" trigger is very practical and falls easily under the hand during work, without generating excessive fatigue.

It will be an ideal complement to the larger guns such as the Z-010 and Z-020.

TORNADOR Mini Z-008 RS:

High-end and very robust version of the Mini range. This mini gun with a slightly wider cone than its smaller sibling the Mini Z-007, still offers excellent accessibility in hard-to-reach areas.
Designed for interior dusting work, it can, like the entire Mini range, be used to clean pads in order to free them from polish dust.

Its "pedal" trigger is identical to the Mini Z-007, very practical and falls easily under the hand during work, without generating excessive fatigue.

The key difference between the Mini Z-007 and the Z-008 RS is that the nozzle is even more robust on the RS (metal, whereas it is plastic on the Z-007).

It will be an ideal complement to the larger guns such as the Z-010 and Z-020.

Rotador Adaptator:

This complete Rotador Adaptator system fits on any Z-010 or Z-020 cleaning gun and revolutionizes the way you clean your interiors.

Indeed, the kit features an adapter system that allows you to connect your cleaning gun directly to your wet and dry vacuum cleaner. You will thus have a system that simultaneously dusts, cleans and extracts. An incredible time-saver and above all much greater efficiency.

The combined cleaning and extraction in a single step avoids any projection of dust and dirt once loosened, as it is vacuumed up directly by the vacuum cleaner.

You still benefit from all the advantages of your cleaning gun while eliminating the full vacuuming step after blowing.
A significant time-saver for any professional seeking to optimize their workflow.

The kit includes several connectors for use with either the Z-010 or the Z-020, plus two male/male connectors to couple the supplied hose with your vacuum cleaner hose.

A truly functional, well-thought-out, affordable and long-lasting system.

Conclusion:

The TORNADOR range is truly very comprehensive and will suit both professionals and enthusiasts alike. The guns are of excellent quality, well designed to last over time. There is a clear amount of engineering work done to improve user comfort (a prime example being the swivel connector that makes rotating the hose easier).

The two guns in the Mini range prove to be very useful for professional detailers in search of a cleaning tool that allows access everywhere, including the most inaccessible areas inside the vehicle, as well as for pad dusting. The Z-007 and Z-008 RS guns are very maneuverable and lightweight with a very ergonomic trigger.

The Z-020 RS gains even more in user comfort with a wide pressure operating range without requiring an excessively high peak pressure like the Z-010. This gun has been revised and improved to offer less vibration in use and a progressive start. This results in a much better comfort during use.
Excellent for interiors, it can also be used for other work stations such as wheel arches, door hinges, etc.

By choosing TORNADOR, you are opting for quality guns from a well-known and recognized brand. It is an investment, but this equipment will last you a very long time given how good the build quality is.

A must-have for any detailer looking to optimize their working time and gain in efficiency.
