ITJ Editor: What are the latest technologies it offers in this field? What are their USP or exclusivity?
Walter Leung: The latest generation of the THEN AIRFLOW SYNERGY 8 is the best example of how to make good things even better. It is well known that the liquor ratio achieved with the THEN AIRFLOW principle up-to-date has not been beaten. The same counts for the versatility of this superior machine. With the latest development the energy consumption is further reduced. Every tube now has an individual frequency controlled blower with less installed power. All the other advantages of the THEN AIRFLOW SYNERGY series remain unchanged, which leads to shorter cycling times and substantial savings in water as well as high reproducibility and smooth fabric guiding.

Breaking the barrier of loading capacity, the model extends up to 12 tubes with individual control, suitable for various kinds of fabrics with better flexibility, quality and ergonomics.

ITJ Editor: At a time when resources like water are becoming scarce, what is Fongs contribution?
