Water recycling systems

 ARS for greater economy
      A decision in favour of an ARS is an investment in the future because it saves resources in day-to-day operation. The washing
      water is cleaned by physical filtration so that it can be returned to the washing process. In this way fresh water consumption is
      reduced by up to 85%, it is used only for rinsing and adding care products.

                                                  	The recycling circuit              All suspended particles larger          washing water circuit.
