My original cimex is about 6 years old so I decided to replace it before it went to hell. Looking forward to rocking 2 cimex's on my commercial gigs and enjoying some nice production time
Bought my second cimex

It will cut those larger projects down to size. One of the local cleaners offered me his nearly new Cimex. I had to pass, I they told me had enough of them already.

I thought 8 was a nice even number but wisely someone brought me to my senses. Well...what little I have left! LOL

I have three and love them. Parts are a little expensive is the only downside but they don't break often.

Can't believe I went with just one for so long.

From your posts, I think could use three some days. You've put that second one to good use.

Shouldn't take as long to get the second!

I had some money that was burning a hole in my pocket. At the end of this month I have about 12k ft of hotel ballrooms, 8k ft of office space and a movie theater that I bid waaaaaaaaaay too low to do so I thought I could justify the expense. I cant count how many times I wish I had a second one to make things move faster.

In and around cubicles, partitions and such, anyone else annoyed at the spritzing out the sides and front? I asked this question to a major distributor of the Cimex yesterday and was told I was the first person to EVER point this out or complain about it. Hum, so I'm the only one who looked back at the file boxes, personal belongings and office furnishings that got encap juice on them. When I get one after the holidays I'll also be the only one making a guard for it.

Its no different than a 175 at spreading solution.
If it is a problem I'd trigger first and then slowly move in after the solution drops.
If that doesn't work for you, you could use OP. Controlled spray the area and bonnet it off.

I push around a simple guard with my 175 floor machine when I'm driving in tight office quarters or near computers. I feathered in many times after the spritzing stopped on several jobs with a rented Cimex. To much micro managing for me. I'll put together a simple/flexible guard.
on a side note, I found thee most expensive floor machine on the planet. MiniMax at Bonnetpro.com $4200, don't know about shipping. Or you can get his batt powered zambonie for $13k+ He must be a Jedi when it comes to selling the cleaning to all those senior homes. Someone though needs to tell him he's not in the marine corp anymore, it's "ok" to grow hair now and loose the diving watch.....

It looks like a cool machine but not at that price.

If you're slinging solution out of the head of the Cimex and/or over the top of the blue deck - then your plumbing is plugged up. If the head were not plugged up, the solution would flow through the pads, and very very little solution would ever get beyond the perimeter of the machine. This is a simple fix. We can help you at Excellent Supply. Give us a shout 800-330-1888 and we'll help you get 'er running smoothly again.

Rick, Does a worn set of pads have an affect on this? ie when they become thinner
encapman

Wearing your pads thin won't likely cause slinging of solution. But plugged plumbing, or partially plugged plumbing, will definitely do it.

What's the best thing to flush it with periodically?
Clean Response

I would say super hot water would flush it out nice and keep it from getting plugged. I never have had a problem with my being plugged.
encapman

Flushing with hot water won't do much. You need to remove the 3 plumbing caps and scrape out the build-up of mineral, coagulated detergent, fuzz, etc. Then blast it out with a good spray of water. Shoot me an email and I'll forward a set of instructions to you... rick at excellent-supply.com

We found when they got clogged it was because of the solution left sitting in the machine over time. So we just stopped doing that, now we drain it after each use and run a little water through afterwards.
