Many youtube videos showing CRBs used for encap cleaning, some specially built for encapping with tanks attached. Is it possible to achieve good results with a CRB? Anyone tried this method?

I would think that if you were using a crb with attached solution tank, it'd pay to remove the recovery tank so that more product stays in the carpet - but otherwise crb make for good encap machines.

tried  encap with a roto wash, no where the same revery *friendly* persons as a cimex ,  get the correct tools for the job is the answer.

I should have stated, CRB can be better on some carpets (cut pile etc) than rotary type machine, but the Cimex is a beauty - but then you pay for the privilege.

At this moment I can't justify the cost of a cimex but I would like to approach some commercial customers and use the equipment I have already. Found these vids last week and I was wondering it could be a nice little add-on (if it works).

Unless its a broadloom I would recommend you buy a std speed rotary a sprayer and a selection of encap pads. Charge a decent price for your work and start saving for a cimex (or a Borg)

Rotary is on the shopping list, just wanted to know if a rotowash would do the trick. Could save some space in the van too

On tiles or glue down rotowash will be okay but won't perform as well as the rotary,

Steve Gunn put up an eBay link othe TACCA Facebook group last night for a rotary at a great price.

Thanks Jamie, I had a look at that listing this afternoon. It is not that urgent, just wanted to know the potentials of the machine. I have learnt something very important during the last two years: life is much easier if you have the right equipment. A Cimex is on the shopping list now (its a very very long list), not sure about that rotary, seems way too cheap.
