Behind the Scenes - Windsor Machine Demo at Universal Studios

As described by Mike Anderson, Machine Specialist from WAXIE Ontario

Every so often we get a really “cool” demo. In this case at Universal Studios in Los Angeles. Not only Universal Studios, but BEHIND the scenes, where I was able to drive my WAXIE truck right onto the lot/sets of Universal, right past Jaws and WaterWorld. A really neat experience for me.

Anyway, note the photo below. Universal Studios has a “Red Carpet” that all patrons walk across (through the front gate) to get into the park. This carpet is hundreds of feet long and probably 15 feet wide. TONS of daily foot traffic.

They needed a solution. Currently they replace it about every 2-3 weeks, actually throwing it away, and replacing with a new one. We were able to do some minor discovery only to find out it was in excess of $3,000 each time.

Along comes the Windsor Chariot iExtract (#573534) and our WAXIE-Green Encapsulating Carpet Pre-Spray (#070663) and Extraction Cleaner (#070660). What a miracle solution. We estimated it would take 30-45 minutes of running the iExtract across it. They currently spend more than 2 hours daily just cleaning it, and more time maintaining it. Along with the Chariot iExtract, we recommended using the Windsor NuWav Wide Area Vac for multiple daily vacuuming.

Again, a really neat demo, with awesome pile lifting results. I wanted to share, as this is a GREAT machine.

The photo shows what I pulled out of the debris hopper, and up inside where the brushes are located. This was only about ½ of the way through our demo. (The $ was not part of the debris, it was put there for size reference).
