[Paul Moss]

Stu, i would not buy one. Too many people are buying them now .

[stuart_clark]

are they any good though? do they clean any better than a rotary

[Jamie Pearson]

I have one. Obviously. They are faster than a rotary.

I will have one at the TACCA day to play with if you want to try it onsite.

[stuart_clark]

Why are they Faster? thought there was a lot of pulling and pushing withy an Orbital where as a rotary moves a lot easier !

[Jamie Pearson]

They spray for starters saving you the prespray stage.

It takes a bit of getting used to, just like the cimex walking forward rather than swinging the machine.

After a couple of shifts you get used to it.

Its a lot less effort too.

[stuart_clark]

thanks for your help on that, I have a couple of Chemspec Chemstractors which also have the Spray on the front of the Rotary

[Jamie Pearson]

Great machines in their day.

I have 6 of the 20" Rotobrite versions of the machine.

[Paul Moss]

I find they lift the pile more than a rotary and clean better.

[stuart_clark]

I think thats realy what i wanted to hear, the fact the clean better, I too have a 21inch rota brite machine, its good but a bit clumsy but good on big jobs

[Paul Moss]

We have anumber of big commercial contracts and for years used a heated bonnet system on them, it took two of us ,one to prespray and one to bonnett. Now one person can do it because of the onboard sprayer. We have only used the Hbot for about 5 months but so far it is doing the jobs faster and the results are defo better. I also think the results are better because of the chemical change to.

[Len Gribble]

Silly me and there was me thinking prespray needed dwell time 

[Paul Moss]

Not encap chems Len 

[Jamie Pearson]

Paul is right.

Some are better suited to machines with mounted sprayers than others.

The ones I know of designed specifically for this are Environ, Releasit Punch, Karchaer iCapsol and Chemspecs Rotobrite/Rotobrite 2.

These products have higher surfactant levels than others available and are zero dwell time.

[stuart_clark]

Paul
so what type of Encap   if any do you use mate ?

[derek west]

surely encap chems have the longest dwell time of all considering its not actually extracted out.

[Jamie Pearson]

Looking at it that way it should be hwe rinse detergent as they take longer to dry.

[Paul Moss]

 Stuart I used to use rotobrite with the heated bonnet system but  with the h bot i prefere either Environ, releasit punch and dynamall dependent on what im working on.
