Development has taken the SmartLine range up to 120kg batch size with a 2 meter inner drum diameter for the largest producers. Our largest machines still retain all of the features that established the SmartLine in the first place such as:-
- High mechanical washing action and a huge first compartment for effective wetting and mixing of linen and detergents.
- Our circulating steam injection system which creates mixing and turbulence in the wash zone
- Our Lint filter and waterbox system which scours the top surface of the water removing lint and floating debris
- Our full control of all water-flow, recovery systems and storage tanks so that we use the minimum energy, chemicals and water.
- Many other features to improve reliability and serviceability
Even on our largest machines, Vega Systems’ manufacturing process includes a single machining operation to guarantee all the driving, sealing and rotating faces are true, concentric and parallel. This approach to quality continues throughout all our manufacturing facilities in Germany and overseas.
Our batch washer is now running in specialised HealthCare applications and other hygienic processes; where strict controls govern the temperature, chemistry and proof of process. Our circulating steam injection system means we measure the ‘real’ temperature of the wash liquor, our temperature sensor is not influenced by the heat source. We can easily incorporate independent machine validation systems as well, if required by virtue of the Vega heating system.

Vega Systems manufacture a complete range of washing systems from 25kg batches right up to 120kg in any configuration. The range includes a full range of high performance gas and steam heated system dryers, high speed shuttles and logistics to complement the batch washer. Despite their high output and evaporative power, the dryers can include various energy saving options.
Variable speed fans, variable heat recovery and variable speed drums make sure that our dryers regulate the ideal conditions inside the drum for every part of the cycle. The fan motor and the large volume lint filter is built under the frame of the dryer in an ideal position for service and access. The unique design of our dryers allows us to place machines very close against each other; this way we can achieve some very compact layouts.
In combination with the SmartLine and the high-powered SmartPress; Vegas’ system dryers complete an impressive line-up.
