Laundromat owners know that 75-pound capacity tumblers pair nicely with their 60-, 80-, and 100-pound capacity washer-extractors, but their workhorse units are stack tumblers.

So, while it was exciting last year when Speed Queen announced it had solved the dryer-generated lint problem with the innovative ProCapture system and launched it on 75-pound units, things got more thrilling today.

The ProCapture system is now available on Speed Queen 30-pound stack tumblers, giving laundromat owners a full-store solution to lint problems.

ProCapture uses patent-pending cyclone technology to capture up to 98 percent* of dryer lint – a significant increase over the lint screens used in most commercial tumble dryers. The technology brings a variety of advantages to laundromats including reduced service and maintenance costs on everything from HVAC systems to water heaters, and other electronics/components. It also saves staff time by not needing to clear lint as often.

* Results derived from internal lab testing environment produced 94-98% lint capture efficiency with bath towel loads dried at 185 degrees Fahrenheit. No independent lab testing was conducted. These results represent findings from controlled laboratory conditions and may not accurately simulate real-world usage of the product as effectiveness can vary widely depending on factors such as method of use, load type, environment, individual user characteristics, and other circumstances.
