Long lasting, economical and flexible benefits
Line 5000 offers real benefits and improvements in three crucial areas for
professional clients: durability, enhanced economics and flexibility.
Line 5000 features a new extra
large coin box

Durability: Line 5000 washers and dryers are built to last longer.
With its Power Balance for washer extractors, Electrolux Professional’s
revolutionary unbalance detection system ensures Line 5000 washers have
optimum stability. This means quieter, faster operations, better water extraction
and lower drying costs.

Enhanced savings: Line 5000’s unique, efficiency means using
less water and energy for wash and dry cycles. But while Line 5000
helps lower operational costs and cuts the environmental footprint, it has
not compromised on quality.
The Automatic Saving System for washers adjusts the water level to
the weight of the laundry, meaning up to 50% in water savings for half
load, as well as energy savings due to less water used to heat. The Eco
Power for dryer measures when garments are dry and automatically
turns the heat down to the cool-down temperature, realising up to 15% in
energy savings. The Smart Dosing System is an easy-to-use,
automatic calculation of the appropriate detergent amount, meaning that
the laundry has the highest quality results while still protecting your skin
during usage. Ideally combined with Automatic Saving System, Smart
Dosing System can mean 50% savings in running costs.
The user-friendly new
Compass Pro® interfaces are
intuitive, intelligent and easy to
use, and available in 18
languages

Maximum flexibility: Ergonomics, performance, safety and labour
effectiveness are key factors in Electrolux designs. Line 5000’s user-friendly
Compass Pro® interfaces are intuitive, intelligent as well as easy to use, and
available in 18 languages. Compass Pro® is the intelligence inside Line 5000
that enables Electrolux to provide customised solutions for every kind of
laundry business, offering up to 55 programs, of which 15 are programmable.
The Compass Pro® interface also features a USB port to facilitate installation
of the latest software updates.
Visit Laundrylux® and Electrolux Professional at booth #3103 at the
Clean Show 2013 from June 20th to 22nd at the Morial Convention Center in
New Orleans.
