power flight pfx 1080
« on: April 13, 2010, 05:16:08 am »
 ;D after 2 weeks wait at last got my new machine ;D ;D its well good getting me head round the fact you dont see water coming out of the wand or hand tools ::)
and the fact is you can clean with much higher pressure with the hand tool then a normal system because no water goes flying every where ;D you get a 33ft hose thats got built in pressure pipe so no more getting it round your feet,my machine is all black it looks like something out of star wars :o

renamed it R2 TEL 2 OR MIGHT CALL IT DARTH BLEEDER  ;D :-X
it is a great bit of kit well worth the money solid in how its made all in all a very good quality machine and looks great,Karl at Amtech very helpful can honestly
recomend this machine ;D

Hi Alan it shows 600 on the dial but I know for sure it is 500psi its the top of the range model as the 1080 goes heat etc you get constant hot it has coils in line heater,cleaver system ;D

Morning Terry i had its big brother for 3 years and found it an excellent piece of kit which did a great job and was always impressing the customers as it looked so good in blue so see what comments you get with your black one.   Make sure you rinse it out at the end of the day and run the vacs for at least 3 to 5 mins to dry it out then leave the lid off overnight this will help it last longer.Regards Alan

It shows 600Psi because it is.
The pumps fitted are 1000 Psi regulated down.
The perfect heat system is only rated at 500Psi, so
be careful running higher than 500Psi.
my PX 1350Ph hits 700Psi.

It's a standard pressure gauge, they probably don't
make 500 Psi gauges.

your car speedometer might show max 140 but your car may only do 100 in reality. Same thing

The pumps fitted are 1000 Psi regulated down.
The perfect heat system is only rated at 500Psi, so

 ;D Hi vince have a full day with it today  ;D I think you will like this machine there
is no over spill with water on the wand or hand tool the jets are sort of hidden,the hand tool alone sets you back £300  :o but when you see the quality
of everything you understand every thing is well made nothing like what you and I have just seen! I have mentioned you to karl at amtech, vince if your over my way you can pop in 4 cuppa have a demo  ::) karl is very helpful and just a very nice guy to deal with a gives you a complete run down on every thing,I have now stopped using powder ::) and gone over to micro spraying first,
and just using water to wash carpets clean,machine gets hot it just works all differant, I am very pleased The guys from the carpet cleaning show told me I would be and there are correct! ;D and it looks the dogs whatsits :o

hi terry
  how did you get on with the machine today, do you find it needs filling and emptying too often as its spec says it runs at 6 litres a minute so that would only be 6 minutes of cleaning per fill i know this is running at its full 500psi which you probably wont use so often but i would be interested to hear how you found water use at the pressures you use.
better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove any doubt

Hi Trev I was using around 250 psi found this to ok did not finf to be filling up to much at this pressure,what I did notice because the jets are hidden no overspray the machine is the best I have used so far for suction it really picks up
the dirt out of the carpet I have had a ninja,Rhino,and weeks ago took a mytee
back because of its problems ::) this machine I think is one of the best portys on the market power wise,even the hand tool has hidden jets this picks up every bit of water you cant go wrong  ;D and the other thing you lay the machine on the van just lift roll in,no humping in or anything,

Them perfect heat coils od nothing top increase heat, I tested the temp with the vacs turned off, and then on, and ran them for a while, heated cold water about 1-2 degrees.  Fortunatedly I have a heater in muine aswell.  I think they are maybe a con :'(

I think the heat is ok but no doubt after trying machines of differant makes,if you want added heat big time,then add a inline heater as well,but to be honest the results so far I am getting with this machine is good,
I think the vacs on this are very strong in fact I think they are the best I have tested,I have had ,ninja,mytee,Rhino so this wins all defo  ;D
may be you have a little problem with your heat as when the heat come in up the wand the brass nut is to hot to handle :-\
