SOFTWARE , HARDWARE & SYSTEMS
Kannegiesser has always carefully developed all machines to optimize the entire energy chain in the laundry and offers intelligent solutions for every processing step . Already in 2008 , Kannegiesser presented ‘ The Green Laundry ’ at the Texcare in Frankfurt . Today , more than ever , companies are faced with the challenge of developing solutions to remain future-proof and competitive despite constantly rising energy costs and CO2 taxes .
In the washhouse , the high-performance washing line PowerTrans Vario sets new standards for wash quality , hygiene , water and energy consumption . The water-extraction technology of the PowerPress and PowerSpin provides low residual moistures permitting high savings in the subsequent evaporation process . With the PowerDry batch dryer , the Eco2Power process control ensures that the energy remains in the system and does not have to be recovered via heat exchangers . In the finishing process , Kannegiesser is a pioneer for low-temperature drying during the process of ironing , finishing and full drying – with impressive results for both maintaining textile value and energy consumption . Ultimately , the energy contained in the ironing and finisher exhaust air is used to heat fresh water for the washing process – the circle is completed .
The sum of many factors leads to solid results : The average energy consumption of a modern industrial laundry equipped with Kannegiesser technology has more than halved in the past 10 years . Using innovative technology , the consumption of less than 0.8 kWh per kg of laundry can be achieved in many cases today . For comparison : In many laundries nowadays , this figure is around 2 to 2.5 kWh per kg of laundry – for some it is certainly a little lower , but for others it is significantly higher .
Significant energy savings help companies to remain economically healthy and competitive with strongly increasing energy costs . Not only the cost balance , but also the climate balance plays an important role . The CO2 emissions of a laundry processing 30 tons of laundry a day and at the same time reducing gas consumption from 2.2 to 0.8 kWh per kg of laundry , are reduced by 2,255 tons per year – a plus for the budget and for the climate !
Modern Kannegiesser technology reduces the use of fresh water and fossil fuels . Our solutions drive growth for our customers and create attractive , future-oriented and ergonomic jobs for us and in the entire industry . This is how we help people to live clean , healthy and safe lives .
