Staying loyal to dry cleaning

Written by Jason Alexander Read time 4 mins

The universal movement towards more eco-friendly, safer cleaning operations isn’t easy, particularly when your robust, reliable dry cleaning machine has served your business so well for many years. More so, dry cleaning in a solvent-based machine, when used correctly, is still highly effective at removing a lot of stains.

Today, this is still the case for many of our clients.

Paul Buckley, Owner of John Buckley Dry Cleaners, called upon Wavepoint Group to replace his 18-year-old dry cleaning machine. Paul was adamant he wanted to remain a solvent-based dry cleaning operation.

The Wavepoint Group Progress 35 4U 17kg capacity dry cleaning machine, running on Perc, was the ideal fit for John Buckley Dry Cleaners.

With energy efficiency being a huge purchasing factor, the system includes an innovative filtering system and stainless steel still, using a dual energy system to lower energy consumption.

It’s incredibly versatile too; the system is available in two different footprints for installation in the smallest of spaces.

For optimum durability, the still condenser is covered with a special anti-corrosion material.

Paul’s new machine was also supplied with both an ecological powder-free filter, as well as a colour bleed filter.

To enable a higher degree of flexibility, two different control panel systems are available for this model of dry cleaning machine, in different screen sizes. Paul opted for the EasyTouch system, which is a touch screen display able, using a cleverly designed visual guide, to control the dry cleaning machine mid-process, diagnose machine faults faster, get instant access to service and support for the machine, and manage machine alerts and warnings. With increased interactivity and operating flexibility, the machine can undertake several important functions, like controlling the processing speed, drying inlet and outlet temperature, and set the number of soap dosing pumps.

“Our new Wavepoint machine is absolutely fantastic, very pleased we proceeded with it. And not forgetting the brilliant service from Wavepoint Group, from the initial meeting to the installation and training. They took away my old machine hassle-free and the whole project was completed in less than half a day. The engineers were great, I couldn’t be happier with their straightforward, honest and no-nonsense approach to the project.”
