EXPOdetergo, the four-yearly leading event in Europe, dedicated to laundry and wet-drycleaning machines, technologies, products and services, will take place at Fiera Milano Rho from 21 to 24 October where visitors will be able to discover the latest trends and innovations from a large selection of companies gathering for the first major European show since Covid-19 struck.

Sustainability, digitisation and sanitisation are the three key words around which the project is being built, according to Paolo Pizzocaro, Fiera Milano exhibition director of the event, who said: “The world comes here to see what’s new in the sector, because it is here that the market can do business and network.”

The large number of companies that formalised participation early in the year was undoubtedly extremely signifi cant, said Marco Sancassani, president of EXPODetergo International. “Such a massive participation so many months before the event is in fact a sign of the great vitality of this sector, of its resistance and the desire to get back into the game, which I am sure will fi nd full fruition in an unprecedented edition of the exhibition.”

The October event promises to provide a global view of the market and the innovations that companies and their research and development departments have been working on in recent years.

“The Alliance team in Europe is looking forward to this year’s Expo Detergo show,” said Jean-Baptiste Vandamme, senior vice president sales Europe. “Due to Covid restrictions, the laundry industry did not have the chance to meet physically, so having the opportunity to interact with customers and visitors is something we are very much looking forward to.”

BÖWE

Hall 3P – Stand G30 H29

Ever since drycleaning machines have been in existence, the problem of distillation boil over (also known as black-over) has been a problem. Due to the addition of low temperature boilers such as water, high humidity, dosing additives and substances removed from the garments during the drycleaning process, the boiling behaviour of the solvents and the low boiler mixture can change. This results in froth and a ‘black-over’ of the distillation. This problem is particularly problematic with alternative solvents.

Böwe decided to tackle this situation and developed a new photoelectric sensor. During the distillation process, the surface of the liquid in the distillation is monitored. If there is increased bubble formation, the sensor detects this and automatically breaks the vacuum for a short time. This leads to an increase in the boiling point and a collapse of the foam head. Black-over and dirt transfer are thus prevented. This eliminates the need for annoying and expensive cleaning of the water separators and clean tanks, which leads to odour formation if poorly maintained. In addition, energy-intensive distillation of contaminated tank contents is no longer necessary which saves a lot of energy, time and cooling water. Problem solved!

BUEFA

Hall 3P – Stand M10

Büfa develops products to remove a wide variety of stains and odour-intensive soiling, for safe disinfecting and for finishing and improving fabrics. Modern process engineering in conjunction with individual dosing equipment and methods guarantee flawless and cost-effective results.

Drycleaning is catered for by various solvents, such as perchloroethylene, hydrocarbon solvent or silicone solvent, the trademarked Sensene. Büfa was involved in the developing of Sensene over several years. This enabled the introduction of perfectly balanced textile care, says Büfa, allowing textiles to retain their colour brilliance and just smell clean (not of solvent). Valuable textiles, especially outerwear, sportswear, weatherproof clothing, duvets, protective clothing (PPE), must be cleaned and treated professionally.

CHRISTEYNS

Hall 3P – Stand D09 and D10 E01

Christeyns will showcase its new and groundbreaking washing concept EPIC. Water is usually the first thing that the industry thinks of when it comes to sustainability. Not only the availability of water but also the cost of wastewater disposal and the need to comply with ever strict wastewater regulations.

EPIC – Enzymatic Process Innovation by Christeyns – allows commercial laundries to meet wastewater discharge standards and reduce wastewater costs. How? By introducing biological enzymes directly into the wash process. The enzymes ensure that 50% less detergent is needed, which makes the wastewater cleaner. But there are many more advantages to the EPIC wash concept, which professional textile cleaners can discover at the Christeyns’ booth.

Choosing EPIC, also means unlocking a totally new technology, says Christeyns, because washing with enzymes requires expertise and accuracy. That is why Christeyns developed a high-tech and patented device that mixes enzymes and adds them to the washing process separately from the detergent.

During the show, visitors can experience the technology in the Christeyns ‘Expreinece Box.

Christeyns’ partners Laundry Dashboard and HydRO for laundries are also exhibiting at H3 – Stand D09.

CLM TEXFINITY

Improving textile Use = improving sustainability

Professional textile care according to Best Practices is the to five times more sustainable than washing at home. That is the key message to customers, governments and other stakeholders. It is a tremendous market opportunity for the industry. Optimising the usage of textiles creates an enormous additional CO2 reduction.

Intensifying of textile use = improving textile sustainability

Sustainability is a key issue in society. Professional textile care is the sustainable option, but textile services also create attractive options for an extended product lifetime and can create better circumstances for recycling. The effect of extending textile lifetime on the sustainability of textile use is immense. Very significant reductions in CO2- emissions and water consumption can be achieved by prolonging the present average lifetime of textiles in the consumer market to the technical lifetime.

Hygiene challenges in 2022 and beyond

Touches upon the two viruses that circulate globally – Covid and Monkeypox – and the way Cinet suppor ts the laundries in minimising the risks in treating contaminated textiles avoiding human transmission. This is applicable at the end user side, as well as in the laundry. The independent International Hygiene Advisory Committee reacts swiftly on any new outbreak, writes hygiene recommendations and communicates these with all Cinet members globally.
