Electrolux Professional makes self-service laundry easier than ever:
the bold, new Line 5000 generation delivers the simplest, most efficient, and most cost-effective washer and dryer solutions
Electrolux Professional announces the global launch of its Line 5000 series washer extractors and tumble dryers, designed to meet the most demanding needs of the self-service laundry sector.
The Line 5000 generation, with its cutting edge technology, is another milestone in Electrolux Professional’s comprehensive range of laundry solutions.
Designed by experts, Inspired by you
The new Line 5000 range has been shaped with contributions from users and experts in the professional laundry field all over the world, whose insights and know-how helped drive improvements in product mechanics, ergonomics and design. Special attention has been given to the particular challenges faced by professionals: regions with extreme climates, high temperatures or humidity; locations with unstable power supplies; and even areas affected by rodent populations.
“Our close association with professionals has helped shape our design, ensuring it matches real user needs,” says Esther Staskiewicz, head of marketing at Electrolux Professional (Business Unit Laundry Systems). “We have developed innovations that ensure the new Line 5000 range offers the lowest cost per wash, an unrivalled reliability, durability and flexibility to meet customer needs. This new generation of built-to-last equipment will not only provide best linen quality and control but will make work life easier and deliver savings over time.”
Line 5000 offers particular advantages for customers of coin-operated laundrettes, looking for quick access and easy-to-use machines, as well as owners seeking lower running costs while running higher volumes. It includes intelligent features and unique extras like the Automatic Saving System and Eco Power cost cutters; the Speed Soak short cycle times; and an intuitive, multi-language control panel.
The Text ManagementTM Information System will be particularly welcomed by self-service laundry users. It allows customers to track machine availability on their mobile phone so they can run errands while getting updates on their laundry status. A text message will be sent when the laundry cycle is complete. The equipment also features a newly-designed, extra large coin box, as well as features to ensure faster maintenance like an easy-to-clean lint screen. However, it is the overall array of smart technology, flexible options, robust engineering and service that is expected to make an impact with customers.
Smart, green and economical
Line 5000’s washer extractors and tumble dryers all combine technology with green thinking and cost reducing features. They exemplify Electrolux Professional’s commitment to continued sustainability and are made to be 95% recyclable. Energy-efficient, their durable, robust construction and high technology manufacturing are built to respect the environment at every point of production and usage.
Line 5000 offers real benefits and improvements in three crucial areas for professional clients: durability, enhanced economy and flexibility.
Durability: Line 5000 washers and dryers are built to last longer. Their heavy-duty components need less maintenance and are optimized for all kinds of operations and environments.
With its Power Balance for washer extractors, Electrolux Professional’s revolutionary unbalance detection system ensures Line 5000 washers have optimum stability. This means quieter, faster operations, better water extraction and lower drying costs.
Enhanced economy: Line 5000’s unique, new efficiency means using less water and energy for wash and dry cycles. But while Line 5000 helps lower operational costs and cut the environmental footprint, it has not compromised on quality.
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 used to heat. The Eco Power for Dryer measures when garments are dry and automatically turns the heat down to the cool-down temperature, meaning up to 15% in energy savings. The Efficient Dosing System is an easy-to-use, automatic calculation of the appropriate detergent amount, meaning that the laundry has the highest quality results while still protecting your skin during usage. Ideally combined with Automatic Saving System, Efficient Dosing System can mean 50% savings in running costs.
Maximum flexibility: 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 of laundry business, offering up to 55 programs, of which 15 are programmable. It combines with the Certus Management™ Information System (CMIS), which is a highly valued process monitoring system allowing users to control and document all operations to achieve ultimate hygiene and cleanliness. The Compass Pro® interface also features a USB port to facilitate installation of the latest software updates.
More flexibility is provided with Triangle Technology, guaranteeing the best washing and drying results for all types of textiles, depending on customer needs. Triangle Technology offers cost savings for medium soiled garments, faster time cycles for lightly soiled garments and top results for tough stains.
Other user-friendly features include Braille buttons, voice guidance to guide the entire washing and drying process, and multi-language selections.
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.
