TM4 CRB - Austrian Counter Rotating Brush Machine
$2,599.99$2,799.99
The TM4 CRB is the ideal choice for carpet cleaners servicing residential and small-to-medium commercial accounts. With 15" of true cleaning coverage, a productive cleaning rate of up to 3,000 sq. ft. per hour, and a manageable 53 lb. operating weight, the TM4 delivers the perfect balance of portability and performance. It's light enough to carry into homes and upstairs apartments, yet powerful enough to tackle demanding commercial environments.
Built in Austria with a stainless steel body, 800W motor, and 470 RPM brush speed, the TM4 is engineered for real-world durability — not occasional use. The dual counter-rotating brushes agitate and lift dry soil from deep in the carpet, while the Renovator trays collect the debris as it’s pulled free. For low-moisture cleaning, this delivers better soil removal, faster dry times, and less wick-back. It also doubles as an effective pre-scrubber for hot water extraction, helping break up soil for a deeper clean.

What is the difference between the Austrian machines and the CRB-Clean models?
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 CRB handle?

- Dry compound cleaning
- Pre-scrubbing before hot water extraction
- Pile lifting and grooming
- Deep dry soil removal with Renovator trays

It’s a true multi-purpose machine for everyday professional work.
What size TM machine machine do I need?
- TM3 (10") – best for tight residential spaces and stairs
- TM4 (15") – ideal for residential and small-to-medium commercial jobs
- TM5 (20") – best for large, open commercial areas & big residential jobs
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 if you need softer, stiffer, or specialty brushes for different surfaces.
How do Renovator trays improve my cleaning results?
Renovator trays attach to the front and/or back of the CRB to capture sand, debris, hair, and dry soil removed by the brushes.
Benefits include:
- Massive dry soil removal before chemistry is applied
- Cleaner traffic lanes

With the included BONUS eBook, even new cleaners can master the CRB process quickly.
How does it into VLM and encapsulation cleaning?
The CRB is one of the most effective machines for VLM cleaning:
- Dual brush agitation evenly works encap detergent into fibers
- Soil is suspended and removed with post-vacuuming
- Renovator trays remove dry soil before wet cleaning
- Fast-drying, ideal for commercial maintenance
- Perfect for offering “dry in under an hour” services
How does the CRB fit into traditional hot water extraction cleaning?
They are invaluable add-ons for truckmount and portable HWE cleaners.
- The superior agitation makes it the perfect pre-scrubbing tool
- You can also use it for pile lifting and grooming
- Improves appearance, drying time, and overall results
Is there an option for increased cleaning width?
Yes. With the optional tandem bar accessory, two units can be linked together for increased productivity on large-scale projects. (*Please note the TM3 does not have this capability)
