Renovator Technology
Our patented Renovator attachments are stainless steels catch trays that mount to the front and rear of the machine. When utilized, they provide the CRB machine with the ability to “brush out” soil and particulates from the carpet fibers.
When we introduced this concept, it completely redefined what a CRB machine was capable of doing. These catch trays perform two very important functions within the cleaning process- dry soil removal and dry compound removal. Use of these trays on a CRB machine will enable the user to extract particulates from the carpet fibers at a rate far superior to a vacuum.
Since pre vacuuming a carpet is the most neglected chore of any establishment, unaddressed dry soil can build up over time and can account to almost 75-80% of the overall soil load in carpet. The most common components of dry soil are very abrasive particulates, which are the real culprits in damage to traffic lanes.
This soil component causes carpets to “ugly out” before the actual lifespan of the carpet has been realized. Since dry soil is extracted from the carpet before chemistry application has occurred, much better results are attained at the completion of the overall cleaning process as well as an extension of the carpets useful life.

FAQ

The Austrian-built units are the original, industry-pioneering CRB machines known for their unmatched build quality, long-term durability, and refined engineering. They feature precision-machined components, stronger motors, splash-resistant housings, and a track record of 20–30+ years of performance in professional environments.
If you want the highest level of durability, the smoothest operation, and the most proven CRB platform on the market, the Austrian models are the premium choice.
What surfaces and applications can the TM5 handle?

- Pre-scrubbing before hot water extraction
- Pile lifting and grooming
- Deep dry soil removal using Renovator trays
- Certain hard-surface scrubbing (with proper brushes and chemistry)
It’s a true multi-purpose machine for everyday professional work.
Where does the TM5 fit compared to smaller or larger CRB machines?
The TM5 machine is ideal for large commercial and industrial applications. The 20" width can make it cumbersome in a residential setting.
- TM3 (10") / smaller units – best for tight residential spaces and stairs
- TM4 (15") – ideal all-around machine for residential plus small-to-medium commercial jobs
- TM5 (20") / larger units – best for large, open commercial areas
If you want one CRB that can do a high production rate and excels in open spaces, the TM5 is typically the top choice.
What brushes should I use, and when should I switch them?
You’ll receive standard blue brushes, which are excellent for most residential and commercial synthetic carpets. Optional brush types are available - see below for more detailed information.
How do Renovator trays improve my cleaning results?
Renovator trays attach to the front and back of the TM5 to capture sand, debris, hair, and dry soil removed by the brushes.
Benefits include:
- Massive dry soil removal before chemistry is applied
- Better encapsulation results
- Cleaner traffic lanes

- Quick to set up, break down, and clean
With the included BONUS eBook, even new cleaners can master the CRB process quickly.
How does the TM5 fit into VLM and encapsulation cleaning?
The TM5 is one of the most effective machines for VLM cleaning:
- CRB agitation evenly works encap detergent into fibers
- Soil is suspended, encapsulated, and removed with post-vacuuming
- Renovator trays pull dry soil out before wet cleaning
- Results are fast-drying and ideal for commercial maintenance
- It’s perfect for offering “dry in under an hour” services.
How does the TM5 fit into traditional hot water extraction cleaning?
CRB machines are invaluable add-on for truck mount and other HWE cleaners.
- The superior agitation created by the dual cylinder brushes makes it the perfect pre-scrubbing tool.
- In addition you can also use it to pile lift and groom the carpet to enhance the looks and help the carpet to dry quicker.
Is there an option for increased cleaning width?
Yes. With the optional tandem bar accessory, two TM5 units can be linked together for increased productivity on large-scale projects.
