Less Is Definitely More When Using The Latest Cherry Tree Machines

Ozone Laundry Washing MachineThe benefits of using ozone have already been established for a number of years. Its popularity is growing as people see the benefits of using this naturally occurring cleaning agent.

Ozone is injected in to a cool wash cycle, where it works along-side normal detergents. Ozone works by attacking the molecules that bond dirt to the wash, and produces a more efficient wash process at a lower temperature, therefore using less energy. Ozone also lowers the quantity of the harmful chemical products needed for the disinfection process, which is an important issue with regards to the current guidelines on environmental disposal of chemicals. Ozone is hypo-allergenic, eradicates odours, and is a natural biocide, killing organisms such as bacteria, viruses and the superbug MRSA.

But with utility cost continually rising, many commercial laundries are looking to make substantial savings in their overheads, as well as maintaining excellent standards in clean laundry.

Paul Carroll, Managing Director at Cherry Tree takes up the story:

“Times are tough and we know all our clients, whether they are a hospital laundry or a busy commercial cleaner, are looking to reduce their bills. We looked at how our machines could become even more efficient and we have come up with the ‘last rinse – first wash’ concept that is going to re-shape how commercial laundry is processed.”

Engineers at Cherry Tree recognizing that typically, water from the last rinse cycle is practically clean; it can be re-used in the first wash cycle. By integrating a storage tank inside the popular XGQ 50Kg and 100Kg machines the ozonated water is simply pumped back in to the machine when the next cycle is started.

“The system works extremely well, with both ozone and water re-cycling, integrated within the machines – keeping the same machine footprint, taking up no more space than our standard range.” commented Paul. “The cost savings are significant. For example, as well as using 40% less water, we see up to 60% savings in electricity, gas, chemicals, along with lower water and sewer disposal charges. These figures represent serious savings, which laundry operators simply can’t ignore.
