Encap Equipment

[jmo]

If you were going to get some new equipment for encap what would you get and why?

I'm thinking of getting a brush pro and a cimex. Or would I be better off getting 2 brush pros?

With a Brush Pro, a Cimex and a 175 you'll be able to ant vlm situation and then some.

One of each, the cimex is great for wide open areas.

Never used a crb for encap but it looks like it would be better for cubicles and tight areas in general.

for CGD? the Trio is the only CRB i'd consider or recommend in that field.

Mikey nailed it.

Mikey I did not see that you have a banner for 175s or are you working on that??

As soon as he finds a comparable 175 to the advance 4317.

I see no mention of using a 175/300 rpm buffer so I'll add that for max sq ft cleaning.

Or is encrap really cleaning or is it smearing in the dirt?

Dribble, foam, scrub/smear, blend. Oh, then run. I personally like Scrub-n-Run.

I can put some serious damage on comm. glue down with my 175. It's slow, maybe 900 sq. per hour sometimes 1000. Cimex would be nice but even nicer would be a serious wide area vacuum cleaner. Our choices in wide vacs has shrunk in recent years. On most commercial that doesn't get vacuumed I'd say powerful/fast vacuum cleaner first, then 175 then Cimex then accounts then Chimps.

No need to buy new...buy used, it works the same.
