Plastic instead of stainless steel, fan-vacs rather than positive displacement pumps, PVC instead of brass fittings and undersized wiring are common deviations from the high-quality standard set by Bane-Clene.
Instead of a stainless steel heat exchanger that utilizes engine heat for heating the cleaning solution, imitators use LP gas to heat water. Besides the inherent inconvenience and danger, the cost of liquid petroleum is prohibitive. Fan-vacs quickly lose recovery efficiency and brush wear causes frequent replacement of motor units. Fins in the fan become coated from the moist air passing through and cannot be flushed like the vacuum pump used by Bane-Clene. Even though the noise level of a fan-vac is high and suction seems good, greatly reduced air velocity results in carpets that are too wet.
Unlike Bane-Clene’s stainless steel tanks, imitators’ plastic tanks crack from vacuum expansion and contraction. Aluminum tanks oxidize and develop leaks. Some imitators don’t even use tanks. They hook up to a customer’s water supply and pump dirty water onto the street.* So-called fractional HP motors draw more than 30 amps. Bane-Clene uses only 12 amps and will operate on one 15 amp circuit.
Thousands of Bane-Clene systems are in service with more than 20,000 operating hours on the original pumps and motors. Bane-Clene systems can be upgraded to meet increased production requirements in a growing company. There is no built-in obsolescence. No imitator offers a training program, certification, a referral network, advertising assistance, mentoring by experts and a toll-free hot line to help a company grow and prosper.
These are but a few of the reasons that Bane-Clene is the best cleaning system and supplier for you. For more reasons, call one of our expert customer service representatives today at 1-800-328-9512.
