Superior Technology for Advanced Performance. Advanced Technology for Ultimate Efficiency
The new DIALOG computer contains in it’s memory pre-
installed programmes to respond to any type of cleaning pro-
cess you need. These can easily be customised by the opera-
tor following a few simple instructions.
All system control parameters are constantly reported to the
DIALOG computer’s control panel in a clear and easily under-
standable way. The DIALOG computer features easy to read,
simple to access menus, and continually displays the more
significant operational data during the cycle, such as the ela-
psed time from the start and the time remaining to the end of
the cycle, the inlet and outlet temperatures of the drum and
much more information.
The new DIALOG computer permits you to store on the memory card every single programme parameter as well as periodical machine main-
tenance when required. All of the data and processing phases can be memorised in order, according to date and time, and can be stored on
any personal computer for subsequent easy consultation and for the creation of tables of statistics to provide certification for the end user.
All of the new UNION XL-XP 8000 Series are built with a comprehensive control panel for immediate reading of every work phase.

New UNION innovations for a “winning plus” ideal.

The integrated control system DIALOG represents the interface
proposed by UNION to optimise performance of our drycleaning
machines. The large bright screen of the DIALOG computer
displays all information regarding the functions of the program-
me and the condition of the machine components. The DIALOG
computer is equipped with the useful “Programmed maintenan-
ce” facility which reminds the operator to carry out the very basic maintenance required to allow the machi-
ne to perform to perfection during every load. Today this revolutionary system is used on all new models of
the XL-XP 8000 Series.
With the DIALOG system you can use the many memorised programmes and also modify them in part without
having to rewrite the entire programme. This saves precious time and avoids tedious repetition. You can
input and modify similar types of values for every single phase of every programme and once saved the DIA-
LOG computer automatically remembers your chosen settings, faultlessly reproducing the same process cycle in exactly the same detail, guaranteeing consistency
to a standard never previously achieved.
DIALOG permits the control and individual monitoring of every useful temperature during the cycle, drying temperatures, solvent temperatures including inside
the still and even inside the still heating jacket. Also the cooling water temperature plus many more.
The DIALOG permits the start of the cycle to remain in pause until the correct pre-selected temperature has been reached, it will also permit the automatic selec-
tion and addition of the correct quantity of soaps and additives ..and with a single command you are given the option to manually prolong any step of the pro-
gramme which you are using. Upon request the DIALOG system has at it’s disposal a number of different memory cards, enabling updates of system software or

This is why today we call it DIALOG, tomorrow you’ll call it indispensable.
