Energy Saving Innovation from Girbau Washers and Dryers
Girbau’s GS7 Genius washer and ED dryer ranges are among the most energy efficient available today, thanks to a host of energy saving innovations in their design and manufacture.
Available with capacities ranging from 9 to 32kg, Genius washers feature a robust chassis design, high levels of water extraction and a 10-inch colour user interface. Their sustained higher spin speeds create a 450G extraction force, higher than available from other manufacturers. This reduces drying time by at least 10% and drying energy consumption by up to 30%.
The washers themselves are the most efficient on the market, reducing energy consumption by up to 15%. Girbau’s own tests on the Genius GS7018 washer found that it typically used 2.5 kWh for each full 18kg load cycle. This compares to 3.5kWh of a comparable washer from a leading competitor.
“With each kWh unit costing businesses around 25p today, the savings soon begin to mount up when machines are used all day every day in a care home,” says Jeremy Paul, Commercial Sales Manager at Girbau UK. “If we said eight cycles per day for 365 days, that’s a saving of £730 per machine per year, and more if we see electricity prices rising again.”
GENIUS washers come with the easy-to-use Sapphire management system that allows you to completely monitor, manage and configure a laundry from anywhere, giving greater control for energy efficient operation. Sapphire also allows you to check machine status and alarms as well as analysing data trends to spot how operational efficiency can be improved. You can also set up activity reports and use the alarms feature to show down times and check machine history.
Designed to be more energy efficient than conventional dryers, Girbau’s ED range of premium performance dryers feature the company’s unique Transflow technology. This is a combination of both radial and axial airflow for maximum efficiency, reduced cycle times and lower energy costs. Cabinet insulation and a double-glazed door further optimise energy efficiency by preventing heat loss.
The highly reliable and accurate built-in humidity control system automatically senses when clothes are dry and activates the cool down process, preventing wasteful and damaging overdrying, maximising energy efficiency and assuring textile care.
“Comparing Girbau’s ED260 with our previous generation GU030 dryer, we are seeing a saving from the latest machine of between £2 and £3 per day in gas use for each full day of operation,” Jeremy Paul adds.
