Immersion tank heating system

TUCSON, AZ -- The Type "L" Bottom Tank Heater, a new family of immersion heaters from Glo-Quartz Inc., place heating elements parallel and in close proximity to the tank bottom to allow a natural heat convention to take place.

Heaters are available for single or three-phase operation at all common voltages and in standard density (40 watts per square inch) and low density (20 watts per square inch) in single or triple elements. The range of output capacity and heating sizes funs from 1 KW at 14" horizontal (tank length) x 36" riser height (tank depth) up to 63 KW at 67" horizontal x 48" riser.

All wetted parts are available in corrosive-resistant materials, including 304 and 316 stainless steel, Incoloy and titanium, a preset temperature sensor is standard on all models.

Washer-extractor

CHICAGO, IL -- The ASEP 2000 Pass-Thru aseptic washer-extractor is manufactured by the French company Danube to professional laundries and other situations where cost-effective, quality washing of linens is required.

Fitted with the company's Aqua Mix system, the stainless steel unit is designed to optimize hot and cold water intake depending on the desired temperature. This shortens cycle times and saves energy. Four models in capacities of 60, 73, 108 and 142 pounds, with water heating by electricity, steam or gas, are available.

A partition separates soiled linen from lean linen with loading access on the soiled side and unloading on the clean side. Waster extraction is accomplished by a 31" diameter drum and a high-speed spin cycle that reaches 1,000 revolutions per minute for a G factor of 440.

The drum is fitted with sump pumps that limit tub oscillation, reduce load unbalance and limit wear on shock absorbers. No sealing base is needed since the unit is suspended by helical springs and has with hydro-pneumatic shock absorbers.

The machine is simple to program through its microprocessor controlling functions. A digital or physical locking device to prevent unauthorized use is optional.

Computer link for washers and dryers

PANAMA CITY, FL -- IPSO coin-operated washer-extractors and dryers linked with the Micro-20 and Sigma controls can be monitored by a PC from a remote location.

Through the PC, the owner can change vend prices, run specials during the day, count the cycles that have run on the equipment and the money that has been deposited and perform some equipment diagnostics.

With software from IPSO USA, the Sigma Control can be used with any computer running Windows 95 or later operating system with a modem. The control links the IPSO washers and the IPSO dryers with the computer and will work with equipment activated by either coins or debit cards.

In the store, the Sigma Control permits changing the wash formulas without opening the machine. By using a portable computer, such as a laptop, with a companion magnetic infrared device, the operator can change the programmed wash formulas, water levels, wash and extract speeds.

Hydrocarbon solvent machines

OWINGS MILLS, MD -- Realstar has introduced its new line of HydroClean drycleaning machines designed for use with Class III-A hydrocarbon solvents and other emerging solvents.

The new models feature the Advanced Filtration and Fractional distillation system, a Realstar innovation designed for complete separation of water and solvent. That separation eliminates the growth of bacteria and odors that can occur in drycleaning with hydrocarbon solvent. Some models also feature a dynamically suspended drum cage with both springs and shock mounts for smooth, vibration-free, high-speed extraction.

The HydroClean machines achieve shorter cycle times for more production. Each model has a new cage design, an increased heating surface area with variable speed blower fan motor, and an inverter drive for a smooth run-up of the drum cage through the selected wash and spin speeds.

The HydroClean series is available in loading capacities of 35, 40, 45, 60, 80 and 95 pounds. Two-tank Spacesaver versions are available in 35- and 40-lb. capacities, with or without distillation.

All models are available in a three-tank configuration with Advanced Filtration and Fractional Distillation systems, the programmable Pulsar computer with advanced factory pre-set programs, Iceberg refrigerated solvent coolers and security floor tanks.

All HydroClean models are ETL-listed and meet or exceed EPA, DEC, OSHA and NESHAP minimum standards, the company noted.

Ozone generator

WEST PALM BEACH, FL -- RGF O3 Systems Inc. has developed a high efficiency corona discharge ozone generator module, the RGF Model HEC.

The design incorporates several advances in corona discharge technology to achieve 20 grams/hour ozone levels per module at 5 percent by weight concentration from an air-cooled system.

The design uses a solid-state, high frequency drive module to power the corona cell. This lowers the power consumption by increasing the spark density per square inch, which in turn lowers the spark intensity. The lower the spark intensity the more efficiently energy is used to produce ozone and the less energy that is lost to heat. The new generator design focuses on a 19" rack mount concept in which the air-cooled modules can be coupled together in increments of 20 grams per hour of ozone production.

This design lets singular modules be lab top-mounted and multiple modules to be cabinet mounted. With this design up to 10 pounds per day of ozone can be produced in a 40" high x 20" wide x 20" deep cabinet.

New design for washer bearings

KENNER, LA -- A new design by Milnor engineers extends the life of bearings and simplifies service. The design offers added protection to bearings and allows seals to be replaced without removing the bearings from the machine.

The design keeps contaminants away from the bearing. If water passes beyond a warn seal, it is channeled away from the bearing and drained through five exit openings at the rear of the machine. The run-off area is three times larger than the area around the seals, minimizing chemical and sediment effects on the bearing and adding to machine life. Compressed air is injected through the bearing around the excluder seal which also keeps out contaminants.

For service, a removable hub swings away from the bearing shaft for easy access. Replaceable seals and sleeves can be installed through the cylinder so the machine can be put into operations quicker.
