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.
Advantages
Coupled with Renovator Technology, there is no better way to deep clean a carpet. These machines are ideal for scrubbing encapsulation cleaners, removal of dry compound cleaners, as well as agitation of chemicals prior to hot water extraction. They will pull dirt, hair and other residue out of the carpet that even the best vacuums would have no chance of removing. They will also double as a pile lifter and carpet groomer, leaving a signature look your customers will love.
CRB machines deliver amazing results on both residential and commercial carpet and with it's dual counter rotating cylindrical brushes, it will agitate the carpet fibers and break up tough soils like no other machine on the market.
