A year ago, Primus introduced its Wash Technology Team (WTT) and one of the first results is the comparison between our T9 industrial dryer and 8-9 kg professional dryer.
The tests were illustrating that the overall profitability of our T9 is much better due to shorter drying times (25-35 minutes), less energy consumption and a longer life span of the T9.  

The new ECO & SUPER ECO programmes are a second important realisation.  Primus WTT has worked out 3 settings of programmes which are standard available on all Primus washer extractors from now on.    With our new ECO & SUPER ECO Programmes you will be able to reach consumption figures with only  +/- 7 litres per kg linen.    Depending on your needs, type & quantity of linen to wash you will be able to reduce significantly your costs on water & electricity and encourage your environmentally friendly activity.

The Beginning…

In 1908, Joe Barlow and John Seelig, two hardware store owners in Ripon, WI, purchased several hand-powered washing machines from a company in Kansas City, MO. After experimenting with the washing machines, the inventors were successful in devising a way to increase the machine’s efficiency through high speed gearing. The partners then purchased the manufacturing rights from the company in Kansas City and Barlow & Seelig Manufacturing was born. The company initially produced a limited amount of washers named the “White Cloud.” It wasn’t until 1928 that the brand name became Speed Queen.

During the ownership period of Joe Barlow and John Seelig, Speed Queen saw many new innovations. In 1911, the company’s first washer powered by an electric motor was built. In 1915, they introduced the first swinging wringer to operate in any direction and in 1922, the manufacturing of washers built with nickel copper tubs, a first in the industry began. In 1939, Speed Queen traded in the nickel copper tubs for stainless steel and it’s still used in our washing machines today.

The War Era

Like many manufacturers during World War II (1942 – 1945), Speed Queen halted its production of laundry equipment to manufacture 20mm shells as well as parts for airplanes, tanks and guns. Operating 24-hours a day to support the war effort, the company received numerous awards for its service.

The Present

The history of Speed Queen, from its humble beginnings in 1908 as Barlow and Seelig Manufacturing to the present is a fascinating change of events. And today, as in 1908, Speed Queen continually strives to provide you with quality products that are backed by superior customer service. With over 100 years of commercial quality and expertise we bring to you a line of washers and dryers built with a no-nonsense design and performance-based construction for your home. These products will get your clothing cleaner. After all, it’s what you expect from a company that only does laundry!

Speed Queen Laundry - it’s all we do!

Lincat has redesigned its two Opus 700 gas oven ranges, the four burner OG7001 and six burner OG7002. The new models feature more powerful hob burners, stronger construction and easier to clean stainless steel radiused hob fronts.

The new hob burners deliver a higher power rating of 6.1 kW for natural gas and 5.7 kW for propane. This performance places them at the top of their class in terms of burner power, and enables them to deliver true high speed cooking. They can, nevertheless, be accurately controlled to ensure excellent results even at low temperatures.

The new models feature powerful 6.8kW (OG7001) and 9kW (OG7002) ovens, which deliver precise thermostatic control from 120oC to 280oC. With double insulated doors, side and back panels, they offer safe operation, efficiency and economy.

“Our robust and durable Opus 700 gas oven ranges are designed to meet the needs of the busiest commercial kitchen”, said Nick McDonald, Marketing Director of Lincat Ltd. “Delivering fast, controllable power with a stylish and easy to clean design, they offer performance, reliability and safe operation.”

Like all Lincat products, the new ranges are designed to be easy to clean, with removable floor plates and shelf supports; dished hob tops; vitreous enamelled oven liners and robust matt-enamelled cast iron pan supports. Side opening doors ensure safe easy access, whilst four shelf positions offer greater versatility. A low level flue enables the entire hob top to be used and, if the ranges are to be installed with other items of Opus 700 equipment, an optional flue extension can be specified to achieve a uniform appearance.

In addition to the four and six burner gas ranges, the heavy-duty Opus 700 series includes six other oven ranges with solid top gas models, as well as electric and dual fuel options. The Opus 700 series also includes: fryers, chargrills, griddles and grills as well as pasta boilers and atmospheric steamers.

Polycarbonates: Keeping Up Appearances…

More pubs and bars are moving over to polycarbonates, but there are worries about how long they’ll last – especially because of the clouding and scratching that sometimes comes from cleaning them in commercial glasswashers. British manufacturer Classeq, one of the UK’s leaders in the mid-budget glasswasher market, says that polycarbonates will last well when washed with standard chemicals in well-built glasswashers, so long as staff take a little extra care.

Here are Classeq’s tips on keeping polycarbonates in good shape:

Don’t mix: avoid washing polycarbonates and glasses in mixed loads in the glasswasher.

Clean them straightaway: don’t leave dregs in polycarbonate glasses – wash them promptly. (Polycarbonates can absorb strong smells over time).

Be gentle: one downside of polycarbonates is that they come out of the glasswasher wetter than glasses. So many bars dry them by hand but rough handling will scratch them.

Check the dosing: too much or too little detergent or rinse aid can lead to dirty results, so make sure the doses are right. The doses may also need to be adjusted to match the condition of the local water supply.

Treat the water: lots of places in Britain have hard water that contains minerals that can harm polycarbonates. Also, the minerals can combine with detergents and leave deposits on the surface of both polycarbonates and glasses. A water treatment system connected to the glasswasher will solve the problem – but ask an expert which type of system is best for the local conditions.

Foster Refrigerator recently presented Ashwicken First School with one of their award winning Eco Pro Refrigerators. Foster felt that the local school was deserving of such a donation due to their continual demonstration of exceptional green initiatives.

Such green initiatives have included the school’s garden area where the pupils plan to grow and sell produce, recycling schemes and a school travel plan (involving the encouragement of car sharing and walking along safe routes to school), and the newly built eco-friendly solar-panelled classroom. As verification of their green credentials, Ashwicken has been granted permission to fly the coveted ‘Green Flag’ above their school, meaning that they are recognised as being part of the International Eco-School Project.

The School will use the refrigerator on a daily basis to store the “5-a-day” fruit and ingredients for their Healthy Cookery Club. The product also has enough space to store children’s packed lunches in order to keep them chilled in the hot weather. Upon receipt of the product donation, Sue Collison Headteacher of Ashwicken First School, said, “We are very grateful to receive such a brilliant fridge which is energy efficient and fits in with our school’s eco commitment to actively promote reductions, re-usage and recycling.”

John Savage, Foster Refrigerator Foodservice Director, said, “Ashwicken First School has clearly made a great effort to implement eco-friendly initiatives, and we feel that this reflects the policies of Foster Refrigerator perfectly.” He also went on to add, “It gives us great pleasure to donate our award winning Eco Pro cabinet to the local eco-champions of tomorrow.”

THE doors to the Goddard Arms swung open once more last night at its grand opening following a £2m refurbishment.

The Old Town landmark on High Street shut down on August 31, 2007 and was sold off to a then-unnamed property developer.

But after more than two years of lifelessness the 16th century building was revived by the Barracuda Group, which has transformed the Grade II listed main building into a 11-bedroom hotel with a restaurant and bar.

Assistant manager Danny Cocker said: “It has been a lot of work and one huge rush to get open in time for Christmas but it is great to see people in here enjoying themselves.

“I wasn’t here when it closed down but in the last few weeks I have spoken to countless people, all very happy that there is life in the Goddard again.”

The hotel has been a landmark in Swindon for more than 300 years.

A building first appeared on the Goddard Arms site in 1249 and was an inn frequented by pig farmers and sheep drovers who used it as a place to rest and quench their thirst on market days.

In the late 1500s a thatched inn called The Crowne was built on the site and in the 1620s the inn was bought by Thomas Goddard, Lord of the Manor of High Swindon. He later went on to rename it in honour of his family.

By the late 18th Century the low thatched building had been destroyed by fire and, with the pig trade expanding and the old market town becoming more prosperous, a larger coaching inn was built on the site.

The building was re-named once more in 2005 when the restaurant was given a facelift and changed to the Buccleuch Grill.

Mayor David Wren, who cut the ribbon to the hotel last night, said he was over the moon when he heard the Goddard Arms was to reopen.

“I was even happier to hear it was keeping its name,” he said.

“The Goddard Arms is a name synonymous with Old Town, it is a much loved landmark and one of Swindon’s most treasured buildings. To have people in here once more, eating drinking and enjoying themselves is exceptionally good news for Swindon.”
