Disposable llint bags
CROWN POINT, IN — Lint-All has designed new disposable lint filters to accommodate the latest alternative solvent drycleaning machines that use sponge lint filters.
Bag-Ease Lint Filters improve filtration, optimize airflow, and decrease labor. Typical results include lint-free and odorless garments and faster drying cycles. Other features include cleaner condenser coils for optimal solvent reclamation and less coil maintenance.
The filters also reduce labor and dust associated with cleaning lint off standard lint filters.
To switch to Bag-Ease Disposable Lint Bags, cleaners simply cut the sponge filter media from their lint filter, then slide the pillow case style lint bag over the frame.
