Electrolux Professional announces ENERGY STAR® qualification for even more solutions
New ENERGY STAR qualification demonstrates Electrolux Professional’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and efficiency.
Electrolux Professional announced today that the range of High Spin Washers which have earned the ENERGY STAR® has now increased to include washers with a capacity larger than 105 litres (up to 45lbs).
The ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Established in 1992 to help save money and protect the environment it provides customers with guidelines on energy efficient products and practices. The strict conditions that a product must fulfil before qualifying for the government-backed label are reliable insurance that the product contributes significant measurable energy savings.
Reducing energy consumption and pollution while strengthening the economy are compelling ambitions of the ENERGY STAR program. By producing equipment that fulfils all the ENERGY STAR specifications, Electrolux Professional meets these ambitions and is therefore not only passing energy savings on to its customers but also actively taking part in reducing greenhouse gas emission thus contributing to important health and environmental benefits on a global scale.
Smart, green and economical
The Electrolux High Spin Washers (H series) have been shaped with contributions from users and experts in the professional laundry field all over the world. Their insights and know-how helped drive improvements in product mechanics, ergonomics and design all the while ensuring energy-efficiency and sustainability.
“We are very proud that now an even larger range of our solutions is part of the ENERGY STAR® program” says Esther Staskiewicz, Head of marketing at Electrolux Professional (Business Unit Laundry Systems). “As part of our company philosophy we invest significantly into sustainable product development leading to exceptional solutions that are environmentally friendly and save our customers up to 70 percent on utilities.”
Electrolux’s High Spin range (H series) combines technology with green thinking and low running costs. Energy-efficient, its durable, robust construction and high technology manufacturing is built to respect the environment at every point of production usage and disposal. This exemplifies Electrolux Professional’s commitment to continued sustainability by being made to be 95% recyclable for example.
Time saving, economical and flexible benefits
The H series offers real savings and improvements in three crucial areas: time savings, enhanced economics and flexibility.
-
Time savings: Electrolux’s High Spin Washer can complete a wash and dry cycle in less than 50 minutes without compromising the quality of the washing result.
- Economy: Its unique efficiency means using less water and energy for wash and dry cycles. This helps lower operational costs by up to 70 percent while cutting the environmental footprint.
Automatic Water Savings (AWS) 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 less water to be heated. Another unique Electrolux feature, Eco Power for dryers, measures when garments are dry and automatically turns the heat down to the cool-down temperature, resulting in up to 15% in energy savings.
- Maximum flexibility: Ergonomics, performance, safety and labor effectiveness are key factors in Electrolux designs. The user-friendly Compass Pro® interface is intuitive, intelligent as well as easy to use, and available in 18 languages. Compass Pro® is the intelligence inside the H series that enables Electrolux to provide customized solutions for every kind of laundry business, offering up to 55 programs, of which 15 are programmable. The Compass Pro® interface also features a USB port to facilitate installation of the latest software updates.
