Hi Robert,
I took the Texatherm EMV along to the CCDO for Mark. I think talking to quite a few cleaners there, that they have not quite grasped what the EMV is about.
The EMV is a dual Texatherm heater tank, so you can heat the pads and perform the Texatherm process, as well as being a stand-alone extraction machine.
There are many differences in how it operates compared to the majority of systems around. The solution is controlled via a varaiable speed pump system that is electronically controlled. This means it works on demand of what you set the pressure in PSI via the front panel. The pump then compensates for gravity, size of jets on tool etc to give you constant volume without continually operating on bypass.
The pump is capped at 100 PSI because the system works on greater flow from the pump itself, through wider bore PTFE/Telfon solution hose to the jets themselves. This reduces the need for greater pressure to feed narrow volume solution through a system, causing higher volumes of solution/air and increased wear to the pump/heads.
The vacuum motors are mounted above an air channel through the mouldings of the machine, similarly the air paths through both sets of mouldings have beed designed to not restrict air flow through any couplings/fixtures. consequently there has been little point in adding a third vacuum as the airlift has been deemed insignificant.
The idea is now that with greater flow wetting out or flooding into the fibes at lower pressures very little air or cavitation is created, so you are lifting water not air, water lift is significantly increased, hence with the open air paths dring times of 1-3 hours have been achieveable.
I think a lot of people have still to grasp with ANY of the machines out there is that right from the start they were deemed soil extraction machines. The chemicals and agitation that goes ahead forms the real cleaning itself and the machines react by removing that soil away and removing any chemicals placed into the item cleaned and resetting wherever necessary.
The last item to add is that the EMV IS 100% British made. The mouldings are british and the components are sourced as much as possible in this country.
