In its latest newsletter, the company says its BW Barrier range is designed to meet strict hygienic conditions for hospitals, care homes, prisons, commercial clean rooms and laundries with specialised applications that provide operational separation of clean and contaminated areas to prevent cross contamination.

Initially available in 50kg and 100kg capacities, the stainless steel machines have touch screen computer controls and energy efficient inverter drive systems.

Further models with 35, 70 and 140kg capacities will be available shortly.
