Difficult dryer venting solutions
BENTON HARBOR, MI — Maytag Commercial Laundry has developed TurboVent Technology for its next generation of Dependable Care and Super-Capacity Dryers. TurboVent Technology offers 100 feet of venting capability to provide maximum performance and shorter drying times, while helping save energy costs in many poorly vented situations.
With TurboVent, the blower spins 25 percent faster than previous Maytag commercial laundry models without affecting the speed of the tumbler. This extra speed makes it possible for the dryers to be used in longer vent installations, without sacrificing performance. Therefore, dry time is reduced even if the vent system is poor. It also helps reduce wear on internal parts.
