The system is intended for factory-style operations such as central processing units. According to Heiner Rademacher, Böwe managing director, the most significant feature of the InduLine is its modular construction,
“Its most economic feature is the new loading and unloading system,” says Rademacher. The InduLine cage tilts 70degrees upwards for loading, and tilts 30degrees downwards when unloading.
The system creates less noise thanks to its flow optimised air shaft and new position of the refrigeration unit, while use of closed machines with overpressure control and integrated carbon unit means solvent emissions are reduced.
Water and waste water can be saved by using an air cooler during drying. Other cost-saving features include an adjustable steam valve at destillation, reducing steam consumption, while the machine is easy to maintain.
The company held demonstrations of the InduLine system over one week, giving visitors a good understanding of its applications. These include cleaning of workwear (including protective clothing), degreasing of furs and leather, machine cleaning of cloths (if they do not contain combustible solvents), cleaning of leather gloves, milling of wool and the cleaning of carpets.
Drawing on the proven technology of its PremiumLine system for the retail drycleaning sector, Böwe says the InduLine can be used with perc, as well as hydrocarbon and other alternative solvents.
