Machine runs solvents interchangeably
NORTHVALE, NJ — Hydrocarbons,
silicone-based solvents, glycol-based solvents and other
alternative solvents can be run interchangeably in the new Multimatic MultiStar
drycleaning machines. This flexibility allows the operator to
switch from one alternative solvent to any of the others to
take advantage of changing market conditions and other
variables.
 | ||
Many new engineering features have been
incorporated into Multimatic MultiStar machines. A variable
speed motor with frequency inverter drive permits operation at
the optimum speed for the fabrics being processed so delicate
fabrics can be handled safely.
Also new is the Multimatic Rapid Dry
system that cuts drying time for fast total machine cycling.
The oversized water separator of
Multimatic MultiStar machines has a unique design that makes it
exceptionally easy-to-clean. Located behind the front panel of
the machine, it has large dual sight glasses for visual
inspections and simplified maintenance. Sight glasses can also
be found on the still and other critical locations.
Tank-to-tank transfer of solvent is easy
with Multimatic’s exclusive “tank sweep”
system that helps prevent solvent contamination in the base
tanks.
An in-line pump and solvent pump strainer
also helps keep impurities out of the system. These features,
along with spin disc and large capacity cartridge filters, help
maintain solvent purity for highest quality cleaning results.
The MultiComp III computer control
constantly monitors every safety factor while providing graphic
flow control that shows what is happening during every step of
machine operation.
An easy-to-read message center shows the
program in use and the specific machine function. The operator
can choose from the factory pre-set programs or create programs
he installs. A manual override control allows full manual
operation.
The machines are now available in 40-,
50-, 70- and 95-pound capacities. The piping, tanks, basket and
basket housing are all made from high quality stainless steel
to assure long life.

Compressor line grows
 | ||
The SFC 11 features a space-saving
cabinet and split-cooling air flow design for easier ducting
and extremely low noise levels. Wide-opening access doors allow
frontal access to all major components and significantly reduce
access clearance and footprint. The SFC 11 is also available
with tank mounting, and many SFC models are available with
optional, integral refrigerated dryers.

Suede renewal
TULSA, OK — Royaltone’s Suede Nu brings out the original deep,
rich color and imparts a soft lush feel to all suedes and naked
leathers by nourishing the skins. It also serves as a carrying
agent for Brit-N Dyes.
Suede Nu can be used on sheepskin,
cowhide and pigskin suedes and naked leathers as well as trims
on cloth since over spray will not discolor the adjacent cloth
fabric.
The suede or naked leather garment is
placed on a hanger and sprayed evenly and liberally using a
hand sprayer from a distance of six inches.
To restore brightness to faded suede or
naked leather garments, add Brit-N Dye to the Suede Nu and
spray as above.

Spray on stain removal
SCOTTSDALE, AZ — Laidlaw Company, LLC has acquired the exclusive rights in the
cleaning industry to Pull Out Premium VOC.
Pull Out Premium VOC pulls the stain out
of the fabric simply by spraying it on the grease or oil stain.
It can be used as a post spotter or to
remove circles and rings left in fabrics after the primary
stain has been removed. There is no need to re-clean the
garment.

Oily-type paint remover
NAPERVILLE, IL — R. R.
Street & Co. has
announced that a version of Pyratex, an oily type stain removal
agent, is now available in a high flash-point, low-odor formula:
Pyratex NuTec.
The classic Pyratex continues to be
available. Pyratex NuTec does not lower the flash-point of
cleaning solvent, so it’s ideal for use with petroleum
and high-flash hydrocarbon technologies, such as DF2000, but it
can also be used with perchloroethylene or traditional
petroleum solvent.
Street’s said that Pyratex NuTec
flushes easily and completely with Picrin, in perc systems, or
DF2000, high-flash hydrocarbon systems, making stain removal
easier while reducing the probability of spotting rings.
The company added that Pyratex NuTec has
been formulated with low-odor and odorless components and is
gentle on textile dyes without sacrificing stain removal
performance.
Pyratex NuTec contains virtually no
moisture. Even the smallest amount of moisture in stain
removers or drycleaning systems can spread water-soluble
cosmetic dyes, making them difficult to remove. Street’s
said that Pyratex NuTec safely suspends these dyes so they can
be flushed away before dye can spread.
Pyratex NuTec comes in plastic one-gallon
containers, six to a case; a free, OSHA-labeled, 12-ounce
spotting bottle is available.
