Xeros and IFB launch washing machines in India that reduce water use by up to 50%

Posted on by

Xeros Technology has partnered with IFB Industries Limited, India’s largest domestic and
commercial washing machine manufacturer, to launch a washing machine which reduces the environmental impact of clothes laundering using Xeros’ patent-protected innovations.

IFB will launch the premium 11kg domestic washing machines in its Indian retail stores in
December 2022, following the successful launch of a 38kg Xeros commercial machine in 2021. The 11kg machine incorporates Xeros’ Care technology and is designed for use in large domestic households as well as small commercial operations. The machine uses up to 50% less water and 25% less chemistry than a conventional machine, and also reduces time by up to 25%.launch of this 11kg machine complements ongoing preparation for field trials in January 2023 of a new 9kg domestic washing machine designed for mass market adoption. IFB is expected to install trial machines in homes in Indian early in the new year and will then proceed with a nationwide launch in Q1 2023, subject to the field trials being successful.

The Xeros Care technology uses a combination of patented XDrum and XOrb technology and can be integrated at any scale to enhance domestic and commercial washing machines.

Using polymer spheres, XOrbs, allows for a significant reduction of water, chemistry, and energy, with the benefit of more gentle mechanical action to improve wash performance and better care for fabrics. The XOrbs are released through a closed-loop system, complimenting wash programmes to reduce the impact of laundry. At the end of the cycle, the XDrum collects the XOrbs back into the storage system.

Not only does the Xeros Care technology reduce environmental impact during washing, but it also helps clothes last longer. In our current throw away culture we buy 60% more clothing than we did 15 years ago but only keep things for half as long,v with a reported 73% of textiles ending up in landfills. Studies have found if we could extend the life of 1 in 5 garments by just 10%, an estimated 6.4 million tonnes of textiles would be diverted from landfills, potentially saving 3 million tonnes of CO2 and 150 million litres of water every year.Further developments from the Xeros and IFB partnership in both the domestic and commercial laundry markets are expected to be announced in 2023

LG to Unveil New Minimalist-Design Appliances at CES 2023Open share list

Posted on by

LG Electronics (LG) is set to introduce a new line of minimalist-design appliances, including a washer and dryer, at CES 2023. Taking a ‘back to basics’ approach, the new range focuses on the essence of each appliance, removing all unnecessary design elements to deliver a timeless, minimalist aesthetic. The distinctive, durable products also reflect LG’s strong commitment to sustainability, featuring recycled materials inside and out and requiring fewer parts and less energy to make than conventional appliances.

Refreshingly unadorned, LG’s minimalist appliances match with any kind of décor, color scheme or interior trend. The lineup’s achromatic color palette and lack of decorative embellishment offers a modern yet classic look that allows the products to blend in seamlessly with their surroundings. In addition to a clean, simple design language, LG’s appliances boast an elegantly clear control experience that users will find effortlessly easy to get to grips with.

Aligned with LG’s goal to continuously reduce environmental impact across all areas of operations, the stylish, new products have been designed with sustainability in mind. By lowering the number of components and printed elements used, LG’s minimalist-design appliances take less time, use fewer resources and require less energy to manufacture. Each model in the new range also features internal and external parts – and ships in packaging – made from recyclable materials.

The new range, which includes a refrigerator, washing machine, dryer, oven range and dishwasher, is also a part of LG’s innovative upgradable appliance lineup, meaning users can add new features to the products via the Upgrade Center in the LG ThinQ™ app.

“Sustainable, stylish and simple to use, our minimalist-design appliances deliver new customer value,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. “We will continue to provide advanced, thoughtfully-designed solutions incorporating our innovative technologies and reflecting our commitment to environmental responsibility.”

Sage presents new models of coffee machines

Posted on by

Sage specialist in lever coffee machines, especially those with an integrated grinder, has launched several new products on the market in recent months. The key one is the new Barista Express Impress coffee machine model, but new practical accessories have also been added.

SES876 – Barista Express Impress
An integrated tamper located directly under the grinder takes care of optimal coffee compression and extraction pressure. After grinding, the coffee is simply pushed into the lever using the mechanical controller on the side of the device. So you don’t have to remove the lever from the grinder, and tamping takes place directly in the handle below it. The indicator of the correct pressure of the ground coffee will then display the ideal value of the compression force

SA503 – The Puck Sucker
It creates a negative pressure on the coffee grounds in the lever, thus simply removing them. No more laborious tapping and no more mess. Compatible with BES920, SES980 and SES990 models. The container is made of Tritan and is dishwasher safe.

SEA201 – The Dosing Funnel
Prevent spilled coffee when tamping with the Dosing Funnel attachment. Compatible with BES875, SES878 and SES880 models. Made of BPA-free material that is dishwasher safe.



Other coffee machines Sage
SES990 – The Orachle Touch
The automated operation on the touch screen simplifies the way to make your favorite coffee in three simple steps – grinding and tempering the coffee, brewing the coffee and preparing the milk. You can easily adjust the strength of the coffee, the texture of the milk or the temperature according to your taste. Then you can save the settings the way you like them best under your own name. You can create up to 8 personal settings for your coffee. We put a barista in our Sage machine.

SCG600 – The Dose Control Pro
The electric grinder takes care of the right amount of freshly ground coffee directly into the attachment for the 50mm, 54mm and 58mm lever. It offers 60 different coarseness settings according to the type of coffee being prepared and is equipped with a stainless steel conical grinding stone, which reduces the temperature during grinding and thus protects the oil component of the coffee beans from damage. A practical container for 340 g of coffee with a unique internal locking system ensures easy portability, and the airtight lid allows the maximum freshness of the coffee beans to be preserved

BES875 – The Barista Express

The espresso machine with a built-in coffee grinder with stainless steel grinding stones allows you to grind the required amount of coffee directly into the holder with the possibility of adjusting the coarseness. The electronic PID system ensures the stability of the water temperature during the entire process. The low-pressure pre-brewing system ensures a gradual increase in pressure, which spreads evenly over the surface of the coffee in the filter.

LG QuadWash dishwasher leverages state of the art steam technology

Posted on by

LG Electronics (LG) is looking to set new standards for dishwashers with its latest LG QuadWash Steam, equipped with the company’s exclusive TrueSteam technology.
According to the brand, its new dishwasher is “revolutionary”, and sets itself apart from the competition with steam technology that promises to not only clean more effectively, but also more efficiently. LG says the dishwasher’s host of unique performance-enhancing technologies “offer a game-changing way to wash dishes”.

How the technology works
TrueSteam emits high temperature steam consisting of tiny particles to clean everything from delicate stemware to steel pots and pans, easily separating stains and leftovers from dishes, LG says. And, the technology is said to soak and loosen tough caked-on food before the main washing cycle.

By spraying steam at the end of a cycle, the LG QuadWash Steam dishwasher reduces undesirable water spots – one of the most common complaints of dishwasher users – by up to 30%, LG claims.

As well as promising impeccable results in cleaning, LG believes it also offers similar results where hygiene is concerned, while hot and pure steam particles from boiling water ensure that all dishes undergo thorough hygienic cleaning.

Another core technology of the dishwasher, QuadWash features four spray arms instead of the two which is more common in other dishwashers.

The multi-motion arms sweep and rotate back and forth while spinning in both directions to clean plates, glassware, and cookware of all shapes and sizes from nearly every angle. Thanks to multi-directional water streams shot by the spinning attachments, LG says its dishwasher offers a more thorough clean.

The dishwasher is powered by the Inverter Direct Drive Motor, which is designed to boost energy efficiency and reduce noise. The motor also adjusts water intensity to allow the soft settings necessary for fragile dishware in the upper rack and a stronger setting for pots and pans in the lower level. This versatility offers more effective cleaning without damaging the dishware, LG says.

In addition, the EasyRack Plus system promises “outstanding” flexibility and convenience, adjusting to just about any load of dishes, even long-stem wine glasses, LG notes. With one touch, the upper rack’s height is adjustable to three levels.

Finally, LG ThinQ technology has elevated the functionality of a dishwasher to ease daily life for consumers. With the handy LG ThinQ app, users can start or stop the dishwasher from anywhere, monitor cycle time and even get an alert when the dishes are clean to have the kids unload the dishwasher before they get home. QuadWash Steam dishwasher offers nine pre-set wash cycles selectable from the app.

Song Dae-hyun, president of LG Electronics and Home Appliance & Air Solution Company, commented: “LG QuadWash Steam dishwasher offers everything consumers expect from an LG appliance: convenience, flexibility and especially performance. Steam technology offers the perfect balance of superior performance with gentle care, and this kind of innovation has practical and convenience-boosting purpose that customers expect from LG.”

There is a range of five models to choose from available in both freestanding, in silver and black, and integrated; these include the DF222FPS, DF325FPS, DF455HMS, DB325TXS and DB425TXS.

Retailers in the UK will include LG and John Lewis initially, and then Curry’s, AO, Marks Electrical, and Appliance City too. Availability in Europe and the rest of the world is not yet known.
