GROVEPORT, OH -- Staber Industries has the Staber System 2000, a top-load horizontal axis washer which the company said uses up to 66 percent less water, 75 less detergent and 50 percent less energy than traditional agitator washers.
Instead of a round tub, the Staber system 2000 uses a patented stainless steel eight-sided outer tub with a six-sided inner tub and tumbles laundry down repeatedly into a bottom pool of water. That creates a water pumping action that forces the water through the inner basket and gently tumbles the clothes to clean more effectively than in circular tubs.
The company recently opened a new 60,000-sq.-ft. manufacturing facility near Columbus.
