Cimex
« on: May 01, 2012, 03:48:30 pm »
Ive a chance to buy a secondhand cimex cr38 15inch machine.

I assume this machine does carpets the same as the others?

When using the encapsulation method are white pads or shampoo brushes best?

Anything else I should consider?

Thanks

Pads work best for encap work if the carpet allows brushes will also give good results.
I have 6" pads here for that can be used.
Truvox dont make the Encap pads for that model.

Jamie I have an old r38 model it has 2 pins that hold the brushes will the newer brushes still fit I believe they have 4 holes? or do they still make brushes and pad holders with 2 holes?

I can source the drive pads/brushes.

However you can get them direct from the people that make them for Truvox from ebay.

Is this your machine Shaun ?

I have an R38P Cimex with pad drives, i bought a set of brushes off ebay a couple of year ago.
When i come to use it, i had ordered the 8" brushes by mistake, it takes 6"

Can it be used for carpets with brushes or pads, and can it be used on hard floors with the correct brushes.

Andrew.

Ps anyone want a set of white 8" brushes  ;D

Don't be daft, it clearly shows two hands on the machine, not one hand grasping the wallet firmly shut ;) ;)

Not sure what speed it is.  I assume the crs38 is the slow speed 400rpm.

So whats the fast machine for?  Is it definately too fast for carpets?

Thanks
