Couple of pics of my first time encapping with an orbital today , think im gonna like it !
BTW , if you in the UK im sure Kev Martin is the top guy to buy these from ... im elsewhere and went with a local supplier , had to wait ages though . 
Anyway , i was planning to build a custom pump spray onto this ... but i could actually live with the gravity tank feed ... if i can figure a way to adjust the drip flow ....  at the moment im hitting it every few secs with my finger to regulate , but that might get old soon , so my question is has anyone with a cimex or tank rotary fitted anything that would throttle the flow a bit so u could just velcro the lever in place while using it sometimes ?

what pad/bonnet/chemical you using John?

Hey , its all a bit custom      the dirty bar area pic was presprayed with citrus with hydroforce . I then had Evans dry foam in the tank with a dash of ultimate master powder  .I used a green scrubb pad . I didnt post bonnet .  The cleaner public area i didnt prespray .
I have some proper encapp juiice but i didnt want to waste in that place

The machine looks good - i've got the Orbot but i wish it was shower fed.

Just be careful of leaving the machine standing with a wet pad underneath it like in the picture - when you are shower feeding the pad is pretty wet and if you leave it standing on the pad like that too long it will over wet that area and you'll have a lovely perfect round wick back mark in the next couple of days where it stood!!

Cimex for shower feed great and Orbit more for bonnet clean. Both really great machines, each to there own areas of use.

If the klindex has a shut off valve you can restrict the flow when the tank is full and then gradually open up the valve when the tank is less than half full. You use the shut off valve to regulate the flow. Then you keep the lever on all the time. get a cable tie and form a loop whuch then slides over the lever..the pressure washer guys use this way to keep the flow going so you dont get cramp in your hands

As always John you stretch the boundaries and think out of the box,  my cimex has a tap to regulate the flow it's the same as on solution hose silver middle black plastic handle.

Great Shaun thanks  , il search the local tool place next week for an inline tap !

There is an electric spray tank available for the maxi orbit and a vacuum if you want it to do wood.

Have you any idea of the price of the orbital John?

The Klindex ?  well im in a different zone for shipping , VAT etc so it might be a bit different  ,  with you i would expect it to be from about 1300 to 1600 + vat .    It might make a difference if you want one in stock or willing to wait a couple of weeks also .

[Shaun_Ashmore]

I had a look at the comac machine from the website and there's a lot of machine for the money.

can u find a price for it ?  the Belfast comac supplier lists the tor 43 spray , but the pricing is a bit confusing , it might be around 1700 + vat anyway .

The comac is more expensive and it's plastic.  The build quality is far superior on the Klindex Maxi Orbit.  I am also currently having a brush specially designed for it by our German engineers.  The KLINDEX is a lot more versatile with the options of the gravity tank, spray tank and the vacuum.  Makes it ideal for Carpet, Hard Floors and Wood
