Fagor Industrial presents its laundry innovations at Hostelco

Fagor Industrial, leading Spanish company providing comprehensive solutions for the hotel, restaurant and laundry sectors, participates in the new edition of Hostelco, the International Trade Fair for Hotel, Restaurant and Establishment Equipment, by presenting its newest products within the Expolimp sector, specific for industrial washing and cleaning, including the company's new LR range of fast spin washing machines focused on the self-service laundry sector and the LA range of high performance washing machines.

LR range: spin speed 25% faster than other washing machines in the same category

The new LR range of washing machines also presents innovations in design, including energy and time saving in all wash and dry cycles and performance similar to top range machines. The range's most important characteristic is the spin speed; thanks to its 200G, it is 25% faster than similar models on the market. All of this makes this range especially interesting for the self-service laundry sector. Hostelco will be the setting for the presentation of the new models in this range, with capacity for 10, 13, 18 and 25 kgs, and the LR-10 and LR-8 equipped with a coin-op function specifically for the self-service laundry sector.

LA range: high performance and fast return on investment

The high speed LA range includes 10, 13, 18, 25, 60 and 120 kg. models and the LA-13 equipped with a coin-op function, payment center or prepaid card function for the self-service laundry sector, also offering 10, 13, 18 and 25 kg. models. This range was designed to offer high performance levels while reducing water and energy consumption, ensuring a fast rate of return in the medium term. The range has been completely re-designed, focused on making the machines more robust, while facilitating repair and maintenance operations.

Fagor Industrial's offer for the hospital sector at Hostelco will include its range of sanitary barrier washing machines including 16, 22, 27, 33, 39, 67 and 100 kg capacities. The 16 kg machine was specifically designed to ensure maximum hygiene for use in hospitals and clinics, preventing the spread of germs and infectious agents thanks to its double door system.

The most complete offer for drying and ironing

Fagor Industrial will be present at Hostelco with its SR range of dryers in 13 and 40 kg capacities, although this range also includes models with 10, 13, 23, 32, 40, 60, 80 and 120 kgs capacities. The ironing section will be represented by the flatwork ironer PSE-35 and the Phoenix model PSG-80/320, designed for small spaces while offering the highest rates of performance of up to 180 kg/hour with little manual labor required for large pieces such as sheets or tablecloths.

"The importance of Hostelco as a meeting point for reference companies in the professional washing and drying sector has driven us to present our most complete offer," states Peio Bengoetxea, director of marketing at Fagor Industrial. "The combination of excellent performance levels and energy-saving efficiency of our fast and high speed washer extractors make them highly competitive and attractive for the professional sector."

"These last additions to our laundry range constitute the first step in a series of innovations in all other fields in which Fagor Industrial is present and which we will be presenting in upcoming months. We began 2010 with ambitious expansion plans and strategies for the European, American and Asian markets, and new plans for the Russian and Indian markets. To reach our objectives, we need to increase our presence in those markets and we'll achieve this by maintaining our quality level and the development of new product lines," explains Peio Bengoetxea.

"At Fagor Industrial, we'll continue to focus our research on three key fields: respecting the environment by making our equipment more energy efficient; constantly re-designing our products to make them more ergonomic, facilitating installation and maintenance work; offering a wide range of models within our cooking, oven, laundry and dishwashing sections that will allow us to respond to the needs of all customers in order to maintain our position as a reference company offering comprehensive solutions for the hotel and restaurant sector," concludes Bengoetxea.

Fagor Industrial will be present at Hostelco in Pavilion 8, stand B220, Expolimp, in the Montjuic fair grounds in Fira Barcelona.
