Electrolux Professional launches new laundry equipment range
Electrolux Professional has launched the new Line 5000 series of washer extractors and tumble dryers, designed to meet today’s demanding needs.
The new Line 5000 range has been created with inputs from users and experts in the professional laundry field all over the world. Special attention has been given to particular challenges such as regions with extreme climates, high temperatures or humidity, locations with unstable power supplies, and even areas affected by rodent populations.
Line 5000 incorporates tailored programmes which remove bacteria, dirt and stains efficiently during the laundry process, ensuring the freshest, cleanest mops and cloths. Line 5000’s washer extractors and tumble dryers also combine technology with green thinking and cost reducing features. They are made to be 95% recyclable and are energy-efficient.
Line 5000 washers and dryers are built to last longer. Their heavy-duty components need less maintenance and are optimised for all kinds of operations and environments. A brand new feature for washer extractors is Power Balance, Electrolux Professional’s unbalance detection system. Power Balance allows the wash cycles to have the maximum amount of dewatering by adjusting the G force throughout the entire extraction to ensure optimum stability, quieter, faster operations, better water extraction, and lower drying costs.
Line 5000’s unique, new efficiency also uses less water and energy for wash and dry cycles. The Automatic Saving System for washers adjusts the water level to the weight of the laundry, meaning up to 50% in water savings for half load, as well as energy savings due to less water to heat. The Residual Moisture control for dryers measures the exact moisture content throughout the process, ensuring energy savings due to shorter drying time. And the Efficient Dosing System, an easy-to-use, automatic calculation of the appropriate detergent amount, ensures quality results. Efficient Dosing System claims to add up to 50% savings in running costs.
Line 5000’s tumble dryers have been designed with new door handles, magnetic locks and a new range of horizontal lint filters, making it one of the easiest and the only horizontal filter solution available in the market today.
Ergonomics, performance, safety and labour effectiveness are key factors in Electrolux designs. Line 5000’s user-friendly new Compass Pro interfaces are intuitive, intelligent as well as easy to use, and available in 18 languages. Compass Pro is the intelligence inside Line 5000 that enables Electrolux to provide customised solutions for every kind or laundry business, offering up to 55 programs, of which 15 are programmable. It combines with the Certus Management Information System (CMIS), a highly valued process monitoring system allowing users to control and document all operations. The Compass Pro interface also features a USB port to make software updates easier. Other user-friendly features include Braille buttons, voice guidance to guide the entire washing and drying process, and multi-language selections.
Another benefit to save users time and reduce strain is the Evolution Barrier Washer Range. Built to maximise ergonomics, performance, safety and labour effectiveness, the Evolution range meets the highest hygiene standards with linen safety and control of laundry management. It includes the Automatic Inner Drum Positioning for Barrier Washers, which ensures that before opening the door, the inner drum is always in correct place for loading or unloading.
The Line 5000 range contains washer extractor models starting at a weight capacity of 6 kg/13 lb and going up to 60 kg/135 lb, while the tumble dryer capacities range from 13 kg/30 lb to 37.5 kg/82.7 lb.
