Mist and brush machines are basically made by whitacker for Masterblend.. they are counter rotating brush machines.. They are great at pile lifting and offer you a couple of different advantages:
They allows you to perform encapsulation on a limited scale. They allow you to perform absorbant
compound cleaning when the situation calls for it. And of course they allows you pile lift and prescrub prior to Hot water extraction.
However if you do not own a mist and brush machine and own a rotary 175 scrubber. You can get into the encapsulation method with a bit higher production levels and lower investment.
Higher production means you can tackle larger jobs.. faster.. with lowered costs making you not only
mor profitable but more competitive.
For the larger accounts and people that want the best encapsualtion has to offer, often you will find them using random orbit machines or planetary drive machines like the Orbot or cimex. Cimex is king of the encap world when it comes to straight scrubbing method using a good crystalizing encap shampoo. However if you need to remove some soil. random orbit machines combined with thick cotton or microfiber bonnets allow good agitation and some soil removal as well.
Do some search and make sure you consider what your needs are before investing in a system. While I will vouch more many masterblend products. If you are looking at performing top quality methods.. and even saving a little money, there are better products to be used.
P.S.
Jeremy is a huge wealth of a knowledge when it comes to encap!!
