Liebherr production site grows

Posted on by

The production site for appliances of Liebherr Appliances – Lienz GmbH continues to grow 42 years after its foundation. The groundbreaking ceremony for a new 2000 square meter hall has just taken place in Lienz. An approximately 2,000-square-meter factory hall is planned for the eastern area of the Liebherr site. The site expansion will create space for a tool shop, a locksmith, a joinery, installers, and a forklift shop.
Stay tuned for more updates about this project.

Miele free standing refrigerators K 4000

The decisive factor is that the insulation technology keeps energy efficiency at a high level over the long service life of Miele appliances. With “PerfectFresh Active”, “K 4000” also offers outstanding storage conditions for fruit and vegetables. The focus here is on insulation panels with silica (silicic acid). The material forms the core of the vacuum insulation panels that keep the cold inside the refrigerator and the heat outside the appliance.

This material not only enables a highly effective, but also much thinner insulation than the usual insulation foam. The associated space saving benefits the interior to the fullest extent, so that there is plenty of space for refrigerated goods even with the particularly elaborately insulated appliances in energy efficiency class A. With “PerfectFresh Active”, “K 4000” also offers outstanding storage conditions for fruit and vegetables.

Smeg has partnered with champagne brand Veuve Clicquot to launch a pair of limited edition ’50s-style fridges.

The partnership is in honour of Veuve Clicquot’s 250th birthday, and it’s the latest in a series of Smeg collaborations with brands including Disney, Dolce & Gabbana and Mini that have produced limited-edition fridges, as well as other co-branded kitchen appliances.

Two models of Clicquot fridge will be available, the FAB10 and the FAB28. “Any champagne connoisseur requires a mini fridge in their home bar”, says the Smeg press release, insanely, for all the world as though we aren’t in the middle of a cost of living crisis and looking forward to a recession for dessert.

If you’re struggling to decide between the two, the FAB10RDYVC5 is the one to buy if you only want to store a few bottles of fizz. It stands 97cm high and features Smeg’s iconic ’50s-style design in Veuve Clicquot yellow, with twin branding on the front. It has an ‘E’ energy efficiency rating and an annual energy consumption of 142 kWh/a. It has 105 litres of space in the refrigerator and and a 17-litre ice box.

Liebherr focused on energy efficiency

Posted on by

LiebherrAppliances will remain focused on energy efficiency at the 2022 Kuechenmeile kitchen fair.
Visit this exhibition to see the latest energy-efficient integrated and freestanding appliances – all equipped with the latest freshness technologies. In addition, innovative technology such as BluRoX makes it possible for freezers to meet “A” and “B” energy classes for the first time. BluRoX technology is not only energy efficient but also allows for larger interior volume and effective resource protection due to the circular properties of the perlite.

Additionally, the launch of the new AutoDoor feature was designed especially for fully integrated appliances – the first refrigerators and freezers in the world to open and close fully automatically, helping preserve energy. You only need a light knock, a voice command, or the tap of your smart device app to open the door, and not just a little – but completely. Ninety degrees!

BluRoX: Liebherr Innovative vacuum insulation with perlite

Posted on by

Circular in the future. With our vacuum perlite technology , we are launching an innovation that will change refrigeration and freezing forever. may we introduce BluRoX. Instead of the conventional polyurethane (PU) foam, the new technology uses a far more effective form of cold insulation : a vacuum. Finely ground lava rock, so-called perlite, stabilizes the vacuumed components. Liebherr’s innovative BluRoX technology offers numerous advantages for people and the environment How BluRoX works and its advantages
For insulation , BluRoX uses a vacuum in connection with finely ground lava rock , so-called perlite , instead of the conventional foam elements . Liebherr explains: “A vacuum offers the best possible insulation in terms of energy. Due to its crystalline microstructure, perlite has a very low thermal conductivity. This combination creates an unsurpassed energy-efficient and at the same time compact solution for cold insulation. Because of the particularly effective insulation, the walls of a BluRoX freezer can be made about a third thinner than the walls of a traditional foam insulated unit. For an appliance fully equipped with vacuum perlite technology, the result is around +25% more capacity compared to refrigerators and freezers with the same external dimensions.


Liebherr presents its new BluRoX technology and the first device FNb 5056.
In addition, the raw material perlite is available in almost unlimited quantities. Compared to the production of conventional insulation materials from petroleum-based polyurethane, the entire process from extracting the lava rock to using it as insulation material requires fewer resources . Perlite can be removed at the end of the life of a BluRoX refrigerator or freezer and reused without significant reprocessing. Also, because the BluRoX insulation is not glued to the surrounding components, the outer shell and inner container can also be easily recycled and reused.
