Electrolux recently announced the launch of its Line 5000 series of washer extractors and tumble dryers, specifically designed to help hotels, restaurants and catering facilities save money and provide their guests with a five star laundry quality. The Electrolux Professional in-house solution offers noticeably better quality linen for guests; a quick return on investment through lower running costs per wash; savings in energy, water, detergent and time; and full control over every part of the laundry process.
Line 5000 offers real benefits and improvements in three crucial areas for professional clients: durability, enhanced economy, and flexibility.
Durability: Washers and dryers are built to last longer. Built with a solid, sturdy frame, its heavy-duty components need less maintenance and are optimised for all kinds of operations and environments.
Power Balance, Electrolux Professional’s revolutionary unbalance detection system, allows the wash cycles to have the maximum amount of dewatering by adjusting the G force throughout the entire extraction. This means optimum stability, quieter, faster operations, better water extraction, therefore lower drying costs and of course a better balanced drum means less wear and tear on the machine, pro longing its lifetime.
Enhanced economy: New efficiency means using 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, means that your laundry will have the highest quality results while still protecting your skin during usage. Combined with Automatic Saving System, Efficient Dosing System can add up to 50% savings in running costs.
Line 5000’s tumble dryers have been designed with a new range of horizontal lint filters, making it one of the easiest and the only horizontal filter solution available in the market today. And with an increased G factor, king size lifter and reversing drum, as well as the Residual Moisture feature, Electrolux quite simply is unique!
Maximum flexibility: Ergonomics, performance, safety and labour effectiveness are key factors in all Electrolux designs. Line 5000’s new user-friendly interface, Compass Pro® is simple and easy to use. Designed for specific market segments and available in 18 languages, Compass Pro® enables Electrolux to provide individual solutions for every kind of laundry business, offering up to 55 programs, of which 15 are programmable. It combines with the Certus Management™ Information System (CMIS) and is a highly valued process monitoring system allowing users to control and document all operations to achieve ultimate hygiene and cleanliness.
More flexibility is provided with Triangle Technology, incorporating economy, performance/care and time, depending on customer needs. Triangle Technology guarantees the best washing and drying results for all types of textiles, offering cost savings for medium soiled garments, faster time cycles for lightly soiled garments and top results for tough stains. Other unique, user-friendly features include Braille buttons and voice guidance to guide the entire washing and drying process.
As for the sizing, 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.
