Smaller companies in particular make a major contribution to sustainability and professionalism they are the ones, after all, who are in direct competition with washing at home.
The more textiles washed in professional laundries instead of at home, the better it is for us and for future generations. Laundries continuously optimise their processes in terms of textile care, water consumption, energy efficiency, use of chemicals and waste water pollution. Here, says Kannegiesser, its washing technology also enables smaller companies to make huge savings.
With the Favorit Vario and the Futura, Kannegiesser has two washer-extractor series in its portfolio for the manually operated washhouse. Both stand for washing quality, process optimisation, resource saving and process documentation across the spectrum of laundry operations.
Each batch of laundry is washed with exactly the amount of water and chemicals required for the real batch weight. This ensures high washing quality and the lowest consumption, even when particularly small batches have to be processed. It even takes into account the amount of water that is absorbed in the textile or that is added via the dosing of chemicals and steam – it couldn’t be more precise!
At the same time, JET rinsing ensures low fresh water consumption and fast process times, and thanks to the CareWash perforation, even sensitive textiles are processed extraordinarily gently. The high imbalance tolerance of our washer-extractor technology is particularly important for smaller businesses – after all, the processing of minor batches always leads to very different loading quantities in practice.
A lower purchase price often goes hand in hand with higher total costs over the service life. Therefore, a somewhat higher investment often pays off quickly. Less heating energy, lower water and waste water costs, higher reliability and availability, longer textile service life and output reserves not only please the launderer, but also the investor and financial manager of the laundry.
