Ideal for non payers, just leave it under the door mat on the way out.

Hi Clinton, you don't.

The machine can be used for the Texatherm process, extraction cleaning or wet pick up for hard floor cleaning. The Rotary isnt attached to the emv in any way

The machine replaces the  s/s  "tea urn".  The pads are put in the machine, so you no longer need the s/s tank.

So you have a state of the art h/w/e machine which doubles as a pad heater for a rotary system.

Don't know if the Tex method has been modified in any way, but to have the combination of h/w/e and rotary sounds pretty useful.

Clinton,

You use the EMV as Robert suggested, the clean solution tank acts as your heater tank in which to place pads. The way it is used in combination cleaning would be on a very soiled carpet instead of pre-spray -agitation, apply pre-spray of advanced cleaner, place pad into tank, ring and place on carpet run across carpet with rotary. Then with extraction side of machine extraction rinse loosened soil. You can the finally opt to dry pad the surface to increase dry times. 

Have carried out this succesfully even across black top pub carpets. Drying times have been impressive

Did TEX never bring out a wringer then?

Joe,

The replacement for the Heater Tank, (if you want Texatherm System only) is called the HT030 and that has slots built around the top for accepting mop wringer mechanisms. The new EMV has a wringer unit in the pipeline!

Was thinking the same thing ???

Always thought it was the only thing to let the system down with no wringer ???

Hi Gary
Why don’t you make a little movie about this and put it in You Tub, so every one can see how it works, this way you  don’t have to explain about it so much.

Regards

Bosh

Hi Bosh,

would love to if only I had the time.....


Business is booming and plenty of phone calls. When I get the opportunity maybe I'll try. Would be good to do so as the machine is so very different. Cleaned an Italian restaraunt by combination cleaning today and the owner is over the moon with how it looks and how dry it is. Bearing in mind he has had it cleaned previously by a truckmount based franchise and a well known franchise previously, and was unhappy with a) clean  b) drying times.


Regards 

Gary

It looks a futuristic machine and a very good portable but the only benefit for me is that when using Texatherm I only have one machine instead of the heater machine and the Ninja for stains.

As for drying times thats all about operator ability, the weather and the soiling conditions, carpet type etc.  I really dont see how it has more vacuum power than a normal 2 vac portable.  The pump flow concept I can appreciate.  The digital heater etc is something to break as we dont need to adjust the heat by 1 degree but it is beautiful but Id prefer blue.

As regards the TM guy cleaning the restaurant maybe it wasent the TMs fault.

have to agree with mark about the truckmount comment, (obviously :)
and the drying times.
thing with franchises is all though the names the same the end product isn't.
how many times do you walk round tesco's and ask for help, some smile and go out of there way, where as some tut grunt and point. its the same with franchises, some think cos there backed by a name they can just be in and out and down the pub in no time, where as some (jim neal for instance) take pride in there work knowing its there business with someone elses name for piece of mind.
did a job this morning for a women who in the past has used a well known truckmount company round here, she wasn't happy with there results yet i left her with a big smile and her saying she'll put me on file for next year when her next tennants move out, they have to use me.

i don't think it matters what machine you have, low end portable or high end truckmount(with in reason) if your determined to give customer satisfaction then you'll strive to accomplish that.
keep up the good work gary, its not the machine (allthough it helps make life easier) its you mate.

Derek,  Clinton

you are  right in respect its knowledge/experience/own ability that produces the right result, BUT I have tried similar areas in the past with my Ninja and was not able to get anywhere near the result. By using advanced cleaner as a pre-spray, putting down a slightly more wetter pad and then extracting the pad, this had already loosened those protein bonding soils and it became easier to then rinse /extract. The difference in this machine is I only required 70psi to flood into fibres and extract out.

Due to this and increased airflow I am recovering 95% of input solution. This has become evident over the last 5 months on returning to long term customers where I have previously cleaned before. I would never declare it is the machine that is doing all this, but it certainly has changed the way I approach some cleans!

Hi gary

So you geting the benefits of the new texatherm ???

With the increase in air flow with your 2" hoses compared to your old ninja ???


Thats the part i do like is when your geting beter drying times so eliminating any chance of mildew,shrinkage,wick back etc :)

I'm amazed all the porty manufacturers haven't adapted their machines to 2 inch hose. My speedster has the option and can make a big difference on longer runs.
