TEXCARE 2024 ROUND-UP
“The core business for all laundries is washing and here we have the PowerTrans tunnel washer – deep cleaning but gentle on fabric. The Synchro Pro feeder with SwiftCare offers perfect alignment of the sheet and a little bit of slack when it is grabbed – that is a good thing as it doesn’t stretch the fabric thereby extending the life of the item.”
LCNi looked at the new EMR
SynchroRemote feeder which Kannegiesser says offers 37% more feeding capacity than conventional feeders and 66% less grip needed on the sheet, therefore 25% less risk of wrist injuries as there is less physical stress when loading the item. The machine has been issued with independent ErgoCert Institution certification. The dry work line can automatically fold, sort and stack laundry batches containing mixed towels from hotels and hospitals. It consists of the newly developed and field- tested Robofeed RFT feeding robot and the Speedline XFM-SR folding machine. The Robofeed is equipped with the latest camera technology, which enables a servo-controlled gripper to recognise each individual piece, separate it and feed it to the folding machine at maximum speed. Also on show was the X-loader hanger loader for the garment-hanging rail system. The loading station provides hangers quickly and without waiting time. It can also be continuously adjusted to any body size and is very easy to operate. The X-Stream tunnel finisher has four modules in three, offering super efficiency. The new counterflow design saves time and energy. It works by juxtaposing cold and heat. The items enter the apparatus from the hottest end taking heat with them in the counterflow to the coldest point. It is a very efficient system. Michael Harre, chief sales and service officer, added: “We are committed to developing tailor-made solutions that not only meet the current demands of the market but also future-proof our customers’ businesses. The innovations we present at Texcare highlight this commitment.” After an eight-year hiatus, Tolon made a remarkable return to Texcare International 2024 with its biggest and most impressive booth to date. Tolon made sure it stood out with a bold new design featuring bright, balanced colours, emphasising the company’s signature orange, symbolising its vibrant energy and dynamism. Since its last appearance at Texcare, Tolon has undergone a significant

transformation as well. In 2016, it forged a strategic partnership with Jensen- Groupand this collaboration marked the beginning of a period of rapid growth and global expansion for Tolon.
Throughout the event, Tolon’s booth was a bustling hub of activity, attracting visitors from across the globe, including regions such as Brazil, Latin America, Australia, and beyond. The focus was on innovation and connection.
According to Tolon: “With a clear vision for the future, Tolon leaves Texcare 2024 energised and motivated, ready to build on the momentum of this successful event. “Tolon’s impressive return to Texcare Expo was more than just a participation – it was a powerful statement of their ambition and vision for the industry. The company’s efforts and achievements at the event signal a promising future, one filled with innovation, growth, and strengthened relationships.”
Krebe Tippo has also been busy over the past eight years and for Texcare 2024 the company added a new size to its popular hardworking, hard wearing barrier washer range, which it re-imagined over the Covid years and “made all new inside”, and launched its HygioVisionTM hygienic monitoring software system. Anja Uranjek, head of sales and marketing at Krebe Tippo told LCNi: “Krebe Tippo is concentrating its attention within the clean room market with quality, robust, heavy duty machines for heavy duty laundry needs. Our barrier washers are all produced to ISO clean room standards.”
Krebe Tippo is getting stronger in the clean room industry and presented a 90 kg capacity machine fully equipped for this very special niche. “A niche within a niche,” said Uranjek.
New solutions with the emphasis on barrier washing machine technology could also be seen on the stand along with a new product called HygioVision, a brand that represents several solutions for laundry optimisation with connectivity created to satisfy the highest global hygiene standards, explained Uranjek.
“All Krebe Tippo machines are designed to ensure the best quality of washing results with minimum consumption of water, detergent, and energy. Machine construction is robust and stable, designed to ensure longevity of each and every part of the machine under heavy burdening.” In 2022 Krebe Tippo launched its 516 Smart Drum concept where machines are equipped with RFID readers and a database to eliminate the risk of linen being lost or mixed.
According to Lapauw, the theme of its stand at Texcare, ‘Built on Tradition. Powered by Innovation’, speaks to the company’s commitment to quality and innovation. Lapauw is showcasing its ‘state-of-the-art’ ironing line designed for production and quality. Thanks to innovations like true parallel
heat flow within its chests, the IronMAX sets the benchmark in ironing performance, making it an indispensable tool for industrial laundries and applications where productivity count, said Lapauw.
