 4. GAS DRYERS

Suppliers: Blue flame (still to decide)

Features

 Automatic Cool-Down: A timed interval at the end of the drying cycle when tumbling
continues with the heat off to reduce wrinkling of heat sensitive synthetic fabrics and no-
iron finishes.
 After-Cycle Tumble Period: 15 minutes to 2 hours of periodic tumbling; helps prevent
wrinkles.
 Damp-Dry: For cotton items to be ironed while damp or to speed drying of natural fiber
washable sweaters.
 Tumble Press: Releases wrinkles from garments that are clean and dry but slightly wrinkled
from a closet or suitcase.
 End-of-Cycle Signal: Reminds you to remove items from dryer to prevent wrinkles.
 Lint filter alarm: Tells you the lint filter urgently needs cleaning.
 Stationary Dry: For items to be dried on a removable rack without tumbling. Ideal for wool
socks, stuffed toys, mittens, tennis shoes and even wet newspapers.

DRY CLEANING EQUIPMENT

We are introducing a new type of dry cleaning system which is called the Micare™ Syste. The
working system is described in the stepwise fashion:

 Approximately 60 pounds of garments are placed inside a large rotating basket in the
MICO2™ machine and the door is closed, sealing the system. Vacuum is applied to remove
the majority of the air in the system and CO 2gas is added to pressurize the wash tank.
 Liquid CO2 is then added from the storage tank along with the Micare™ detergent
system in order to form the wash fluid. The clothes are agitated for a pre-set time period
and with a selected degree of agitation depending on the nature of the garments (e.g.,
delicate, normal, and heavy cycles). Similar to perc dry-cleaning machines, the wash fluid
is circulated out of the wash tank through a lint filter to capture loose fibers and vestige
lint. It then passes through a carbon filter and returns to the wash tank. At this point, the
wash cycle is complete.
 The liquid CO2 and detergent mixture (i.e., the wash fluid) is pumped out of the wash
tank to the storage tank. The excess wash fluid (that fluid left clinging to the garments) is
further removed by a spin extract cycle. A portion of the wash fluid is then cleaned via a
distillation process that removes excess dirt and detergent. The residue from the
distillation process is automatically eliminated from the machine and collected for
shipment back to Micell for recycling. Carbon dioxide gas is removed from the wash tank
using a compressor and the gas is sent back to the storage tank for reuse. The Micare™
 system is able to efficiently convert CO2 from a gas to a liquid, thereby permitting 98
percent of the CO2 to be recycled. A nominal amount (10 lbs) of CO 2 gas is then vented to
the atmosphere.
 After a cycle time of 35 to 45 minutes, the cleaned garments are removed from the
wash tank.
Benefits of the Micare™ System

The Micare™ sytem:

 Eliminates exposures to perc.

 Cleans effectively with no unpleasant odors.
 Treats garments gently.
 Eliminates the risk of groundwater contamination from conventional drycleaning
solvents.
 Utilizes a traditional rotating basket design which is gentle to fabrics.
 Eliminates the risk of heat-related damage or heat-setting of stains, as there is no
drying cycle.
 Costs less to operate than today's perc systems, thereby allowing drycleaning
operators to offer the same prices to customers and improve their operating margins.
 Requires a 35 to 45 minute cleaning cycle for a 60-pound load -- faster than traditional
'dry-to-dry' processes.
 Eliminates the time and money that operators typically must spend to comply with
environmental and safety regulations associated with the use of perc and petroleum.
