Water & energy efficiency

Look beyond the capacity label.

Evaluate washing, extraction, drying and utilisation together. Efficiency depends on the selected model, options, programme and how your laundry actually operates.

Extraction

Consider the water left for the dryer.

Extraction performance affects residual moisture and the work required during drying. G-factor describes extraction force; it is not a direct percentage measure of water or energy savings.

Compare the relevant machine’s technical data alongside your textile mix and wash programme.

Compare washer specifications

Drying

Balance heating, cycle time and installation.

Heat-pump, gas, electric and other heating configurations have different site requirements and operating characteristics. Heat-pump drying can trade cycle speed for reduced installed power, so compare throughput as well as energy.

Compare cycle time, consumption and loading conditions for the same model and programme.

Explore drying options

Water recovery

Assess the options against your process.

Weighing, level control and water-recovery options may help reduce resource use in suitable applications. The result depends on the programme, textiles, load and selected equipment.

Discuss model compatibility, space, plumbing and the maintenance requirements of any recovery system.

Review checklist

Measure before and after.

  • Record laundry weight and programme mix.
  • Record water, energy and operating hours on a consistent basis.
  • Include drying and finishing, not only the wash.
  • Compare equivalent loads and the required output quality.
  • Review the real result after installation.
