Finally, Giacomo Fontana, the Sales Manager at Maestrelli S.r.l. from San Giorgio di Piano near Bologna defines what is, to his belief, a predominant tendency today: “a dry-cleaning market is oriented towards hydrocarbon and multi-solvent machines (mostly Europe, North America and India) while other markets, e.g. the Middle East or south-east Asia are still using perc machines a lot.
We greatly focus on machines without distillation because we believe they are more eco-compatible. They present a reduced consumption of water and electricity”. Multisolvent hydrocarbon machines without distillation are the winning formula for Maestrelli as they reflect a fully advantageous machine type. The machines are equipped with a double filtering system based on a nylon powder filter and an active carbon filter. The filters allow to clean the solvent in absence of the distillation” adds and concludes Fontana.
