 The Lint Lizard – As Seen on TV!

Cleaning your lint screens will maintain proper airflow (and better efficiency) in your dryers. Optimally, the lint screen should be cleaned after each load. You also should inspect lint screens or drawers for damage and replace if torn.

One very important – and frequently overlooked – aspect of dryer efficiency is the venting system. The air that is expelled from a dryer is frequently mixed with a fair amount of airborne lint. Over time, the lint will settle out of the air and wind up inside your dryer cabinet and venting system. Lint inside the dryer cabinet can easily accumulate in critical areas of the dryer, including the thermostat and areas near the burner box. If a thermostat is blocked by a lint accumulation, it will fail to do its job of regulating temperature properly, and your efficiency will suffer. Worse yet, large lint accumulations can even provide the potential for a dryer fire. Be sure to frequently clean your venting system to minimize this risk and maximize the all-important airflow.

Prevent Dryer Fires – Dryer fires constitute the most devastating (and costly) property insurance claims for self-service laundries. Over the years, many stores have been lost as a result of a dryer fire. Prevention begins with good maintenance habits and lint control. Develop a schedule to keep lint screens clean; prevent lint from accumulating inside the dryer cabinet; and clean out ductwork on a regular basis.

A product like the Lint Lizard is a cheap and easy way to ensure you’re removing as much lint as possible.

The Lint Lizard attaches to almost any vacuum hose and features a 43″ long flexible reach.

Electrolux Earns Sustainability Award

 
April 22, 2013– Electrolux recently reaffirmed its reputation as one of the most environmentally responsible companies in the world. For the sixth-consecutive year, the company was named to the prestigious Dow Jones Sustainability World Index. The honor, testament to Electrolux’s commitment to the environment, places the company in the top-10 percent of the 2,500 firms included in the Dow Jones Global Indexes.

 In addition Electrolux was named one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies in 2012. The company also continues to earn recognition and certification from a number of U.S. and European agencies.

 The Electrolux approach to sustainability starts at the design stage, where engineers working on Electrolux Professional products place equal emphasis on high performance and reduced energy and water consumption. Innovations such as Automatic Water Savings (AWS), SmartDosing (SD), and EcoPower illustrate the company’s approach to products that are not only “thinking of you,” but the environment as well.

 AWS weighs each wash load and automatically reduces fill levels for loads that are under full capacity. Since many facilities underload 60-70% of the time, this one feature can save on-premises laundries thousands of gallons of water annually. Likewise, SmartDosing reduces chemicals based on the lower water levels. EcoPower dryers sense dryness levels in the load and reduce heat, and as a result, gas consumption. 
 Whether you own a coin laundry or are in the hospitality industry, long-term care, or operating a commercial laundry, these are design components that deliver real savings. Electrolux further solidifies its sustainability efforts through employing manufacturing processes that are focused on reducing its impact on the environment.  Production units are certified in accordance with ISO 9001 (Quality) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) standards. Though the company’s professional products have a rich history of providing decades of dependable service, even after their useful lives, the products still have a reduced environmental impact. That’s because up to 95 percent of the machine is recyclable.

Huebsch Introduces HCN100 Front Load Washer-Extractor

Machine offers eBoost^™ technology for reduced utility costs

Ripon, Wis. – Huebsch, the expert in commercial laundry efficiency, announced today that it has expanded its washer-extractor product line to include the HCN100, a 100-pound front load washer-extractor with eBoost™ technology for vended laundry owners.

This large capacity washer-extractor will allow laundromat owners to command a higher vend price than smaller capacity machines, leading to additional revenue. The machine takes up the same amount of room as an 80-pound machine, making the HCN100 an easy replacement.

Huebsch’s new eBoost technology is also available on the HCN100. eBoost makes Huebsch washer-extractors supremely efficient, using 33 percent less electrical energy and 11 percent less water than two-speed models. The technology also includes the patented Water Guardian leak detection, a one of a kind technology that detects leaks in both the drain and fill valves, eliminating wasted water and resources.

With the Galaxy™ 600 control, multilevel vend pricing enables store owners to increase revenue per cycle, while time-of-day pricing helps laundromat owners increase turns during slow times, increasing store profitability. Customers can tailor wash cycles for an additional price, allowing store owners to generate even more revenue. When combined with a card payment system, the control allows customers to ease into vend increases pennies at a time, helping to eliminate sticker shock.

Owners can quickly retrieve machine data using a PDA or laptop with Galaxy 600. Easy programming and information retrieval gives laundry owners the tools to manage multiple laundromats and maximize profits.

All of the efficiency components of the HCN100 with eBoost and Galaxy 600 control mean one thing for vended laundry owners – greater profitability.

 Landrylux transforms holiday card into a helping donation

Laundrylux decided to do more than just wish their friends Happy Holidays this season. The company helped make the holidays a little happier for their New York and New Jersey neighbors. Instead of mailing out their annual holiday card, Laundrylux marketing staff put that money toward a donation to help victims of Hurricane Sandy. The 500-plus people  on the company’s holiday card mailing list instead received, via email, a fun digital greeting, complete with animation and festive music.

“This holiday season just felt a little different knowing how many of our friends and neighbors were still trying to recover from the hurricane,” said Neal Milch, CEO of Laundrylux. “Making the donation felt like the right thing to do. And we actually received a number of positive comments from the card…many said it was a ‘wonderful idea’ and an ‘excellent way to share the holiday spirit.’”
