does anyone out there have experience of these machines.
there being advertised on ebay at the moment. i'm currently looking at all makers of cleaners within a budget of £1200/£1500.

Just found this forum and find it very interesting. I have 5 SEMCA Machines bought in South Africa. They have 2 three stage motors and a 60psi solution pump (not the greatest pressure but good enough for my purposes). 2 of the machines are 3 years old and 3 machines are 1 year old. They are very reliable, and in my opinion very effective.  Not 1 machine has been in for repair and they are used every day.

Having said this, I am now upgrading to a Prochem Everest HP (for no reason other than to reduce setup time). In SA we are fortunate to have a reasonably cheap labour force and thus we use as many machines in a house/office as the electricity can take. However this means lugging 40 kilo machine up staircases, which is a problem

and where would we look at this machines

As I said, I bought mine from SEMCA Cleaning Equipment R6900.00 in Johannesburg, South Africa. Thats about £650.00. They can be contacted at +27 12 327-0777. Ask Niels to send you a data sheet

Thats almost double the price that I paid. Somebody seems to be ripping somebody off. I thought that these where a South African made machine because I had a debate with the guys about upping the pressure pump from 60 PSI to 100PSI. There reaction was that they where looking into it for the future.
