HTM — Carpet dusting before washing

Removes dry dust and debris before washing, using six dusting cylinders (3+3), vacuum collection and forward/reverse operation.

HPM — Standard carpet finishing

The standard HPM is the first finishing option to consider: a cylindrical brush, vacuum and dust collection prepare the dry rug for rolling and packing. It uses time-relay control and is distinct from the fully automatic HPM.

HPM — Fully automatic alternative

For operations needing greater automation, the catalogue also offers a PLC-controlled HPM version: 2 cylindrical brushes on 2200/2700 and 4 on 3200/4200/5200. Both versions share HPM model numbers; specify “standard” or “fully automatic” when requesting a quote.

Model numbers are not usable rug widths: for example, ER 4200 accepts a maximum rug width of 4 m. Confirm configuration, utilities, layout and options before ordering.

View the catalogue · Ask for model advice

1. Start with your rug sizes

Record the widths of your usual rugs and the largest rugs you plan to accept. Select by the maximum usable rug width, not the model number. For example, the catalogue lists ER 3200 for rugs up to 3 m wide and ER 4200 for rugs up to 4 m.

2. Plan the whole cleaning line

Estimate your normal and peak daily workload in both rugs and square metres. Consider dusting, washing, wringing, drying and finishing together: a faster washer alone will not increase output if the next stage cannot keep up. Ask for a demonstration using rugs similar to yours rather than relying on one universal washing time.

3. Check space and utility requirements

Before ordering, request the machine dimensions and a proposed layout. Allow room for loading, unloading, trolleys and maintenance access. Confirm electrical supply, water supply, drainage and any compressed-air requirements for the exact configuration.

4. Specify the equipment you need

Confirm the brush configuration, controls and included accessories in writing. Separate standard equipment from optional extras. For finishing, consider the standard HPM first; choose the fully automatic version when its additional automation suits your workload.

5. Compare complete quotations

Compare like-for-like configurations, delivery terms, installation, training, warranty coverage and spare-parts support. For a rug wringer, ask the manufacturer to specify the appropriate drum and approved loading procedure for your rugs.
