Built to comply to stricter European and North American emissions control standards, Union systems more than surpass today's rules to give your plant a healthy future.

Union L U-2000 are user-friendly, versatile, simple to operate and easy to maintain. With important features like a safety containment floor pan, automatic dry-control and cooldown, self cleaning solvent tanks, automatic drum wash down (for lint removal on the back of the drum), secondary water separator, automatic soap injector and a range of spray systems.

Ecology, Technology, Reliability, Performance, Low cost. A new age in dry-cleaning had arrived!

Welcome to the 21st Century! Never clean messy still sludge, touch hazardous waste or breathe still fumes again! The L U-2000's Idromatic System scrapes, cleans, removes and containerizes still residue for you automatically..without opening the still door. Before the L U-2000's new safety-lock loading door can be opened the UNION Computer automatically Activates the Recuper which draws purified air into the cylinder. This produces faster and better quality finishing. To assure complete and optimum performance, the UNION Computer will automatically advise the operator to engage the regeneration process. And Union Systems have Turbofan system that provides optimum vapor recovery in the still and button trap.

Welcome to the new L U-2000! Union's Eco-Filter in the new L U-2000 Series is the most ecologically responsive powderless disc filter in the industry! With Eco-Filter there is no filter disposal, no operator exposure to perc vapor and no solid waste by product. Its low-porous, 30-micron mesh requires no pre-coating and provides maximum filtering of small particulate matter and solids. A refillable stainless steel housing mounted on the top of the Eco-Filter contains granulated carbon able to guarantee color control as well as clarity of the solvent.

Welcome to the L U-2000 Technology Each Union L U-2000 series is equipped with a state-of-the-art microprocessor and manual control. The UNION Computer is the smartest and friendliest microprocessor control in the dry-cleaning business! It not only provides limitless programming for all system functions and special cleaning requirements, it also works on just simple push-button command. And it tells you the current status of all machine operations by simple illuminated icons. The safe 24-volt control panel is front-mounted for easy access.

WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND! Introducing the Optimum in Hydrocarbon Dry-cleaning Evolution.

Petroleum is not new to dry-cleaning. In fact, petroleum was among the first widely used solvents. The solvent of choice as far back as the early 1900's, petroleum reached its height in the 1950's. While its superb capabilities were well received, especially in cleaning of difficult and specialized materials, petroleum dry-cleaning had major drawbacks ... both in chemical properties of the original formulated solvent and the limited 20th Century technology in,the manufacture of dry-cleaning machines.

WELCOME TO THE 21st CENTURY! Air pollution. Water pollution. Soil contamination. Human exposure to carcinogens. Increased costs of utilities, solvents, water and waste-sludge disposal. More and more government restrictions in the use of perchlorethelene and R-113 solvents. Even wet- cleaning can't handle expensive fabrics and adds to waste-water pollution. What's the solution? WELCOME TO THE NEW UNION HYDRO-C!

Union engineers have worked more than 5 years researching and developing a machine that would effectively utilize a safer hydrocarbon solvent. Now these safer, higher f lash-point solvents are a reality. The result is HYDRO-C. The optimum solution in hydrocarbon dry-cleaning.

UNION HYDRO-C BENEFITS MORE DRYCLEANERS MORE WAYS! Start with a safer, securer cleaning solvent. No harmful odors, waste-water or sludge to deal with. HYDRO-C technology, combined with the new synthetically made hydrocarbon solvent, meets or exceeds all EPA, OSHA, NESHAP and local requirements. The new hydrocarbon solvents retain the best benefits of the old "Stodgy Stoddard" petroleum solvents ... excellent cleaning and low residue while increasing flash-point safety, lowering drying time and improving solvent stability. Then enter Union HYDRO-C... most affordable to own, easiest to maintain and simplest to operate.

Famous Union quality stainless steel construction throughout and logical modular design means long life and easy, quick day-to- day maintenance. Our new Computer 48 controls every operation ... memorizes an unlimited number of programs for all textiles and provides the optimum in operating safeguards. Plus, you'll bring more business through your door by cleaning problem materials like suedes, leathers, furs, silks, satins and man- made fibers like a pro!

CHECK THE SPECS AND BE ASSURED THE UNION HYDRO-C IS FOR YOU! See the optimum evolution in hydrocarbon dry-cleaning tomorrow!

The safe, No-pollution Solution to Perc, R-113 Valclene, and Water/Soil Contamination Caused by Wet-Cleaning Methods!

HYDRO-C incorporates the latest in microprocessor technology. Our new Computer 48 controls and monitors every aspect of machine operation so special operator training is not required. Offering an unlimited variety of programs for all types of textiles, HYDRO-C with Computer 48 is especially suited to process problem materials such as man-made fibers, suedes, leathers, plastic, silks and satins.

Pure filtration is the result of Union's famous Ecological Spin Disc teamed with high-density small cartridge carbon filters.

HYDRO-C advanced technology provides continuous distillation of hydrocarbon solvent. Lower operating temperatures mean no heat-set stains or creases even in the most delicate fabrics.

HOW UNION HYDRO-C SYSTEMS WORK Union Hydro-C Systems are designed to work with hydrocarbon solvents. These new solvents have been modified and have a higher flash point of 132F-56C making them exceptionally safe. In addition, all Union Hydro-C Systems are equipped with advanced safety devices which are required by the European Community Standards.

1. Washing cycle: Solvent is pumped into the basket over the ecological disc filter then into a heat exchanger which keeps the solvent at a steady 77F-25C temperature.

2. Extraction and drain to still holding tank: During the wash and extract cycle, the basket as well as the tanks maintain atmospheric pressure.

3. Drying cycle: Prior to inducing the drying cycle, the vacuum pump extracts air from the basket. Air is then released to the atmosphere via the solvent tanks. During this cycle the fan motor is activated and heat is induced as soon as the vacuum of 550mb is reached. The pump continues to extract air until 350mb is achieved and maintained.

4. Cooling cycle: During this cycle all sources producing heat are automatically turned off and the cooling cycle begins.

5. Distillation: Solvent is transferred to a still holding tank then discharged into the still in small quantities. A float switch, which has a minimum and maximum level, controls the amount of solvent discharged into the still. The holding tank separates the water from the solvent. Water settling on the bottom of the tank is controlled by an electronic probe. Solvent will only be discharged into the still after complete distillation. Should a malfunction occur, visual and acoustic signals will alert the operator.

6. Still vacuum: A vacuum pump extracts air from the still in the same manner as it extracts air from the basket and holding tanks. While the degree of vacuum inside may vary, the still heating system will only start if a vacuum of 200mb has been reached. The still door can only be opened when the still temperature is below 40C and the safety door switch is activated. All heating sources for drying and distillation will only function when these vacuum conditions have been achieved. If there is a lack of water, air, steam or a presence of high temperature in the system, the HYDRO-C will automatically turn off and an alarm light on the front of the machine will notify the operator.
