INDUSTROZONE LAUNCHES POLARWASH,
A CUTTING EDGE COMMERCIAL OZONE LAUNDRY SYSTEM
New laundry system provides substantial cost and energy savings for customers

RALEIGH, N.C., (November 9, 2004) – Building on a decade of ozone laundry experience, IndustrOzone Technologies today announced the launch of its premiere commercial ozone laundry system: PolarWashTM. With the longest operating ozone laundry system in the market, IndustrOzone has created an enhanced system design that combines best-of-breed product features resulting in the most efficient, reliable and technologically superior laundry system available. With five new model offerings, PolarWash provides significant energy cost savings, and delivers cleaner and longer lasting linens.

PolarWash ozone laundry systems are designed to work effectively in cold water resulting in a more sanitary, cost effective laundry operation. Ozone dissolves quicker than other bleaching agents allowing ozone systems to use cold water, which dramatically reduces the energy needed to operate a laundry facility. The reduction in hot water usage and lower water consumption through shorter wash cycles can result in savings of up to 70 to 100 percent in overall energy usage. When considering how many pounds of laundry a typical commercial facility cleans each day, a reduction in energy cost can significantly impact a business’ bottom line. This results in significant cost savings for commercial institutions, allowing management to reinvest those savings in other areas.

“We believe the laundry process is about more than washing, drying and pressing linens. Our system produces cleaner, fresher linens at a lower cost than traditional laundering, but that is only half the story,” said Jim Konides, chief operating officer of IndustrOzone. “The other half is how that positively impacts our customer’s business. PolarWash allows for better productivity with cleaner, faster linen turns in your laundry operations, improved housekeeping efficiency, and access to guest rooms more quickly than anyone thought possible. Ultimately, we are helping institutions meet their goals of providing better customer service starting down in the laundry room trenches. ”

The PolarWash system offers enhanced safety features including a built-in electric surge protector and an automatic turn-off pressure switch for the generator. Ozone is an extremely effective sanitizing and disinfecting agent in cold water wash cycles; in fact, ozone is stronger than chlorine. The colder, shorter wash cycles result in cleaner, fluffier and longer lasting linens. In addition, ozone is environmentally safe providing additional value over traditional alternatives.

“It has been our goal from the start to provide superior ozone products for our customers,” continues Konides. “With PolarWash, we are thrilled to be able to provide the next generation in ozone laundry and continue to be a leader in this specialized market.”

Based on the proven benefits, ozone-based laundry is growing dramatically as businesses realize the value proposition of these advanced systems. Due to IndustrOzone’s track record of success with hospitality and medical facilities around the globe, IndustrOzone has assembled a network of top distributors that provide unique concentrations of laundry expertise to create outstanding education and sales programs for PolarWash.
