  Christeyns Laundry Technology, LLC

  (617) 203-2169

  Full Profile

  Before spending a fortune in equipment, Christeyns ascertains that an operator is using the most lean and mean wash formulas in the market. Only then can capital investment be the next step (if ROI is still worthwhile), for which Christeyns practices the Pareto principle where 20% of the investment achieves 80% of the results. From the operators’ perspective, this is the best approach: first reduce the fresh water volume significantly by implementing smart wash formulas; then review all equipment options considering Christeyns’ advice that ‘simple is often better.’ Contact Christeyns at info.usa@christeyns.com or 617.203.2169.

  Ellis Corp.

  Full Profile

  Unfortunately, there has yet to be a truly innovative membrane technology capable of treating wastewater to a point of complete reusability. This has all changed with the recent introduction of the Ellis Rotational Turbidity Membrane, also known as Nautilus. The revolutionary Nautilus system utilizes a combination of interlocking disc membranes. As the system continuously filters wastewater, the rotation of the discs creates a scouring effect on the membrane surface. This scouring prevents fouling agents such as FOG (fats, oils and greases), silica, high solids, etc., from coating the surface and causing inevitable failure. Furthermore, the variable frequency drive (VFD) of discs will increase and decrease speed of the membranes allowing for continuous “self-cleaning.” For more information, visit www.elliswastewater.com.

  Full Profile

  The Ludell Waste Water Heat Recovery System is the most efficient way to maximize and reuse heat in any industrial facility. Through a unique, continuous, stainless steel shell-and-tube design, this system reduces the fuel consumption and steam required to generate hot water by recovering heat from wastewater and transferring it to incoming clean water to a hot water system. Lint, string and other waste materials can safely pass through the system utilizing a nonclogging diaphragm-type throttling valve, while a four-way reversing back flush valve automatically reverses wastewater flow to clean the system and keep it working at maximum performance.

  Kemco Systems Inc. is an innovator and leader in the development of energy-efficient water systems for commercial and industrial laundries. For more than a decade, Kemco’s Ceramic Microfiltration/Reverse Osmosis System has been providing 75% recycle rates for laundry wastewater with all soil classifications. The Ceramic Microfiltration System (CMF) will remove 100% of the FOG (fats, oils and greases) from heavy- or light-soil applications, and the Reverse Osmosis System (RO) will complete the filtration process by removal of wastewater Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). Kemco’s approach of eliminating TDS levels from the system permeate has made Kemco the perfect choice for plants utilizing tunnel washers, washer/extractors, or a combination of both technologies.
