Take your cleaning to the next level with the CRB (Counter Rotating Brush) Machine—a powerful, dependable cleaning companion that will save you time and effort while delivering superior results.

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.

FAQ

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?

It’s a true multi-purpose machine for everyday professional work.

What size TM machine machine do I need?

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?

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)

CRB Buying Guide

Buyer's Guide
Why CRB Names Can Be
Confusing — And How to Compare

CRBs sold in the U.S. come from two different manufacturers, but many sellers private-label them under their own names. This guide helps you cut through the confusion.

Two Manufacturing Sources. One Confusing Market.

In the U.S., all CRB machines trace back to one of two supply chains — Austrian-manufactured units distributed by Carpet Cleaner America (CCA), or Chinese-manufactured units distributed by CRB Clean / CRB Cleaning Systems. Everything else you see online is a retailer's private-label name on top of one of these two sources.

🇦🇹 Austrian-Manufactured
Distributor Carpet Cleaner America (CCA)
Models TM3, TM4, TM5, PRO35, PRO45
Also sold as Hydro-Force, Prospector, BrushEncap, BrushMaster, TMF Pounder, CleanScrub, Brush Pro, Brush Pro Hybrid
🇨🇳 Chinese-Manufactured
Distributor CRB Clean / CRB Cleaning Systems
Models TM3, TM4, TM5, Multi-Clean, Clean Storm
Also sold as CRB Clean, CRB Cleaning Systems, Multi-Clean, CleanStorm
Why TM3 / TM4 / TM5 alone doesn't tell you anything. Both supply chains use those same model numbers. The model number in the listing title is not enough to identify the source — you need to confirm the manufacturer or distributor before comparing specs or pricing.

How We Label Machines on This Site

We name our products so the model number acts as an ID tag — it tells you exactly what you're buying before you read a single word of the description.

What to Know Before You Compare Prices

Because private-label branding is so common, the same Austrian (CCA) machine may appear on multiple sites under completely different names — and at different price points. If two listings are both the Austrian CCA-supplied unit, you're looking at the same machine regardless of what it's called. Price differences come down to the seller and what's included, not the machine itself.

Examples:

  • A Hydro-Force, BrushMaster and a Brush Pro are the same unit.
  • A TM, BrushEncap and a Prospector are the same unit.

If you see different prices for these, you're comparing sellers — not machines.

Our commitment: We label clearly and price competitively so you can make a fair, informed comparison — no guesswork required.
