With the spread of diseases transmitted through manicure tools, interest in unedged nail processing technologies has increased. It intensified even more with the advent of build-up and the need for subsequent correction. The new generation of gel polishes can be removed with cutters, and this also leads to an increase in the use of hardware cutters. In this regard, a professional manicure machine becomes a necessary purchase for every specialist in the field of nail business.
Companies produce a huge number of devices for treating nails - from expensive models for podology centers to miniature souvenirs that fit in a cosmetic bag and are powered by batteries. How not to get lost in this variety and choose the right model? Read about it in the article.
Design of the apparatus
Professional pedicure and manicure machines must haveAC connection. Any battery-powered devices will not be able to provide sufficient power for the device to perform well. They will stop the rotation of the cutter when the nozzle is pressed more strongly. So it will not be possible to remove the keratinized layer of cells, not only when performing a pedicure, but also during a manicure.
Ideally, a stationary model of a rather large size, with a built-in vacuum cleaner and high power, is suitable for a nail salon. But in practice, the use of such an apparatus is often not required due to the limited use of its functions. Portable models, which will be discussed, are quite capable of working in the economy class cabin.
Their design is not difficult and consists of two main parts: the body and the cutter. The housing has a control panel with a power button, a power connection indicator, a rotation speed scale, and a reverse switch. Using a flexible cord, a working handle is connected to the body, to which the desired nozzle is attached. The handle has an ergonomic shape, but different sizes depending on the manufacturer. Choosing a convenient device, the master should select such a holder so that the hand does not get tired during long work. For good devices, the handle weighs no more than 200 grams.
Selection Options
When purchasing a professional manicure machine, pay attention to the following indicators:
- Power.
- Engine type.
- Revolutions per second.
- Presence of reverse.
- Availability of switch relayspeed.
Reliability is another important aspect when choosing a device. To understand which professional manicure machine is better, you should refer to the rating of the best-selling models of well-established manufacturers with no complaints. Reviews of the masters will help you make a choice regarding price / quality parameters.
Power, engine type and RPM
By the way the cutter rotates, there are two types of motor:
- collector, in which the shaft rotates through a system of brushes,
- brushless, in which power is supplied directly to the motor shaft, causing it to rotate.
Professional machines for hardware manicure with collector motors are usually purchased in the salon. Although they are designed to run for several hundred rather than several thousand hours compared to brushless ones, they are much cheaper. The power of such a device should not be less than 35 watts. The speed of rotation at this power is usually from 25,000 to 45,000 revolutions per second. This is quite enough for removing gel polish, treating nails on hands and feet, and caring for heels.
Nozzles
When choosing a professional electric machine for manicure, they immediately purchase a set of cutters and removable abrasive caps. They are available in a standard size and are suitable for any device. Usually it is equipped with a minimum number of nozzles, but each master has his favorite tools and then buys them in addition.separately. Among all the nozzles, there are several main groups:
- Thin taper diamond burr.
- Cylindrical carbide cutter.
- Ceramic Gel Polish Remover.
- Abrasive pedicure tips.
- Round carbide cutter.
If you plan to polish your nails, then get more silicone nozzles.
Operating instructions
In order for a professional manicure machine to serve for a long time, simple rules should be followed:
- The device must not be used in high humidity. Do not wash the device under water. Dust should be carefully brushed off with special brushes or brushes.
- Keep the appliance turned off and out of the reach of children.
- Change nozzles must be done with the engine off.
- Processing of nail folds is performed by rotating the cutter from the nail.
The device is a means of increased danger. To work with it, you need to have professional skills.
