Francis & Co unveils Samsung’s energy saving, ultra-quiet, economically priced laundry range

Salon International 2012, stand N128, 13 – 15 October, ExCeL London. 

33 hand towels, 29 minutes, 13 amps, 1 load

Stackable, easy to install and running off a 13 amp supply – but that’s only the start of the advantages of the new Samsung professional laundry range for hairdressers.  One huge benefit is that the large drums can fit over 33 hand towels in one load in as little as 29 minutes.  Another is that Samsung’s Eco Bubble technology saves energy and delivers better washing results.  Then there’s the new anti-vibration system, which means washing is ultra-quiet and the washer itself has a longer service life, since it is protected from unbalanced loads. 

Last but by no means least, and despite market-leading features, the Samsung units have a list price up to 60% less than similarly sized competitors’ machines. 

The new Samsung Professional Laundry range will be on show at Salon International on the Francis & Co stand, number N128. 

The WF431 washers have a big, 110 litre capacity.  Their Eco Bubble technology cuts energy costs by dissolving detergent in air and water before the wash cycle begins.  The dissolved detergent penetrates the fabric more quickly, evenly and deeply, which means operators can wash at lower temperatures and still achieve perfectly clean results. 

Samsung’s smart anti-vibration technology (VRT) works in two ways. Firstly, there is a mechanically simple but ingenious system that counteracts imbalances in the drum.  Meanwhile 3D sensors send signals to the inverter that controls the motor, so the drum is perfectly balanced, whatever the load, reducing both vibration and noise. VRT not only prolongs the life of the machine but means it can be sited in noise-sensitive areas, even near salon customers, without causing a disturbance. 

The Samsung DV431 tumble dryer has both axial air flow and residual moisture control, which ensure faster drying. Programmes are selected via a single simple jog-shuttle dial which gives the user 13 pre-set programmes with 5 different dryness settings. Its drum has a capacity of 240 litres and, being stainless steel, won’t chip, rust or discolour over time. 

Because they can be stacked, the Samsung washer and dryer are ideal in salons where floor space is limited.

The range is available in the United Kingdom through Francis & Co, via a national network of distributors and laundry equipment specialists.  Samsung is one of the world’s largest brands.  Samsung Professional Appliances distributes throughout Europe.  All products are backed by a full parts & labour warranty.
