For energy-efficient dryers, Maytag says its next generation, Commercial Laundry TurboVent Technology, offers single and stacked dryers equipped with 100 feet of venting capability to provide maximum performance and shorter drying times. The matching dryers to Whirlpool’s Commercial Laundry Front-Loading Washer, which is Energy Star- and CEE Tier II-qualified, have a blower system that increases air velocity, energy efficiency and heating element life. The dryers allow four-way venting up to 100 feet with three elbows, hood and vent, to provide shorter drying times. Looking ahead,” says Maytag/Whirlpool’s Karn, “energy- and water-efficiency remain [top priorities] of the laundry industry.” MHN To comment, email keat.foong@nielsen.com Among Maytag’s offerings of front-load machines, its Commercial Energy Advantage High Efficiency Washers (pictured opposite page) are designed to cut utility costs by up to 60 percent “without compromising cleaning performance,” according to Maytag. The unit is designed to help on-premise locations “save as much as possible on laundry utility costs.” This model is also the first commercial laundry single-load washer to be Energy Star- and CEE Tier III-qualified, meaning that owners and operators can save even more energy, and in select states, receive utility rebates, says Maytag.
