Like the
tilēzeŽ
6000, this machine is specially designed to take the
work out of grout clean-up. The Tileze R Model is ideal
for smaller commercial and residential jobs.
With a minimal amount of training, one laborer can do
the work of 3 and do it three times faster! Water is
changed less frequently so there is less down time.
The
tilēzeŽ
R Model cleans up to 700 square feet per hour.
Electrically powered, the
tilēzeŽ
R Model employs a soft sponge belt which
picks grout up off the floor surface, and
is washed clean as it revolves around the
rollers. Residue and water are pressed out
in the attached bucket resulting in a clean,
film-free surface. Only half the amount
of water is required, unlike conventional
methods, so grout joints are not washed
out. Also, the operator works in an upright
position, eliminating fatigue and stress
on the knees and back.
The
tilēzeŽ
R Model is equally at home on brick pavers,
abrasive tile, sure tread tile, glazed and
unglazed ceramic, rough slate, natural stone,
polished and unpolished marble & granite,
and Mexican tile.
The
tilēzeŽ
R Model is powered by electric hand drills which are serviceable
in the USA and Canada. Parts, including sponge belts (regular
& epoxy), are available directly from
tilēzeŽ
or any authorized
tilēzeŽ
dealer. Constructed of galvanized steel with welded main
frames, each model is virtually maintenance-free. Movable
parts have sealed bearings for a smother operation, and
belt replacement is a snap - snap on, snap off.
Certain grouts may create excessive foam in the water
bucket, making it necessary to change your water more
often. To eliminate this problem, we recommend using
tilēzeŽ
defoamer. One application of our defoamer will reduce
excess foam.
The
tilēzeŽ
"R" Model is ready to work when you
receive it. All that remains to be done is inserting
the handle and filling the factory-installed bucket
with water. It is important to use a GFCI protector
when dealing with the combination of water and
electricity. With the GFCI protector in place,
connect the unit to the closest 110v power outlet.
Read
all enclosed directions completely before operating
tilēzeŽ
"R" Model. We recommend practicing under
controlled conditions before going to a job site
to gain the techniques that ensure a professional
job. The demonstration video included with the
machine should be viewed before use.
