Carpet cleaning reaches its peak with Everest
What are thought to be the world's most powerful truck mounted extraction cleaning machines have been introduced by Britain's largest supplier, Prochem Europe.
The Surrey-based company has extended its top of the range Everest programme to include the 408 and 650 cleaning systems.
The secret behind the most powerful liquid-cooled machines of their kind on the market lurks behind stylish new front panels in the shape of 68 HP 1.6 litre dual overhead-cam petrol engines, also used to drive manufacturer Hyundai's Accent car range (pictured).
These super-powerful newcomers share the same performance benefits of the original Everest, which was powered by a relatively tame 49 hp Nissan engine, and offer a host of innovative design features including a new chemical simulator valve, console illumination for night operation, and diagnostic indicators.
Designed for commercial jobs or de-flooding and water restoration work, the Everest is a dual operation system for carpet, upholstery and hard surface cleaning.
The simplified multi-stage heat exchanger system provides constant hot cleaning solution with two wand operation at up to 1200 psi pressure on the standard model and up to 3000 psi on the Everest HP, for all types of hard surface cleaning and pressure washing.
In addition to more powerful engines, new and old models differ in solution pump output: the 408 and 650 use General Emperor 5.5 gpm in place of the original 4.5 gpm. Solution pressure controls on all models are fully adjustable with magnetic clutch switch for de-flooding work
Vacuum technology output is also increased, from the original Sutorbilt T408 Tri-lobe 405 cfm to a Gardner Denver Tri-Flo 408 cfm for the Everest 408 and a mighty Gardner Denver Tri-Flo 650 cfm for the largest model.
Additional features include patented heat exchange system that eliminates by-pass of hot water to waste tank; chemical simulator valve allowing quick setting of chemical flow; and hot water tap for mixing chemical pre-concentrate. Optional fresh water tanks and waste pump out system are also available for the range.
Warranties on machines are for one-year, with two years cover on water pumps and 18 months on vacuum pumps, with the Everest 408 and 650 General Emperor pumps under warranty for five years.
Prochem Europe offers the most comprehensive range of truck mounted cleaning technology on the UK market. Operator training and dedicated service bays are both provided at its Chessington headquarters.
