Two cylindrical brushes turn towards each other at 483 rpm, working the pre-spray or encapsulation chemical into the fibre from both directions and lifting flattened pile as they go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a preparation and interim-maintenance tool rather than an extractor. Contractors use it ahead of hot water extraction to get more out of the pre-spray, and on its own for encapsulation and compound cleaning in commercial buildings where carpet has to be back in use quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it is used for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePre-spray agitation and pile lifting\u003c\/strong\u003e before hot water extraction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEncapsulation cleaning\u003c\/strong\u003e with your preferred encapsulation solution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow-moisture compound cleaning\u003c\/strong\u003e with \u003ca href=\"\/products\/brush-pro-dry-compound-9-07kg\"\u003eBridgepoint Brush Pro Compound\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDry soil and granule recovery\u003c\/strong\u003e using the Renovator Trays supplied with the machine to collect dry soil or used cleaning granules.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CRB-15 runs from a foot lever.

The difference shows up on traffic lanes, where the pre-spray is sitting on top of the pile instead of being worked through it. One thing to watch, though: hair, string and carpet fibres can wind around the brush axles. Clear them out after each job rather than waiting until a brush starts dragging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the CRB-15 a carpet extractor?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It agitates, lifts pile and works chemical into the fibre, and it recovers dry soil or granules with the Renovator Trays supplied. It does not rinse or extract water. For hot water extraction it is used before the extractor, not instead of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat comes in the package?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe machine with one pair of Blue Standard brushes fitted, Renovator Trays and a transport trolley. The Blue brushes suit commercial level loop and low cut pile; for residential cut pile and wool loop carpet, fit the Black Soft brushes, sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it plug straight into a power point?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, it draws 4 amps and runs from a standard 10 amp outlet, but the lead is only 1.15 metres long. Plan on a heavy-duty extension lead for almost every job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does the warranty run?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12 months against defects, brushes excluded, in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I change the brushes on site?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The brushes change without tools: slide out the axle, swap the brushes and refit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich brushes should I buy for residential work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Black Soft brushes, for residential synthetic cut pile and commercial wool loop pile.
