The Firbimatic SX2002 perc machine will be a big talking point. This 20kg perchloroethylene machine has the footprint of a 15kg model, a two-bath cycle time of only 23 minutes, and features a self-cleaning lint filter and water separator.

The perc-in-air concentration at the door is less than 50ppm, making the machine a “supermarket’s dream!” Other features to look out for include: the 800mm diameter fan; streamlined, single-pass recovery circuit; twin heat pump technology using hot solvent vapour from the still to pre-heat drying air; and the reversible door.

The company will be offering special show promotional incentives including self-filling steam generator, auto solvent-filling system, low level soap detector and multiple injection points.

For alternative solvents, don’t miss Firbimatic’s new EcoGreen machine. Designed to run on either hydrocarbon or Green Earth solvent, the machine and allows drycleaners to keep their options open. Features include short drying times, two-stage fractional distillation and programmable speed control.
