UltraClean 2.0

近2000万人没有足够的收入买得起床等必需品，这意味着英国有超过40万儿童没有自己的床。作为结束家具贫困的使命的一部分，FRC集团设计、开发并推出了第一台自动床垫机器UltraClean 1.0-通过FRC员工竞赛被命名为“Mattilda”。这台世界上第一台机器使用自动化和复杂的数字云连接控制系统每小时加工多达20个床垫，这意味着大量的床垫可以被赋予新的和延长的寿命。通过多个阶段的过程，床垫被恢复到极高的清洁水平：干燥吸尘；预喷涂；蒸汽清洗和真空；臭氧饱和；高功率紫外线沐浴；以及快速干燥。这对环境也是一个好消息。每个重复使用的床垫都会减少79.5公斤二氧化碳，这相当于14辆车一天不上路。超净床垫被直接捐赠给家具业贫困人口，并提供给在所在社区低价出售的慈善机构。通过UltraClean 2.0项目，家具资源中心将建立在世界第一台床垫清洁机的成功基础上，使利物浦城地区成为全国推广具有全球抱负的先进床垫清洁系统的核心-同时解决臭名昭著的具有挑战性的废物流和贫困人口缺乏负担得起的家具的问题。

Almost 20 million people are without sufficient income to afford essential items like beds and this means there are over 400,000 children without their own bed in the UK. As part of their mission to End Furniture Poverty, FRC Group designed, developed and launched the first automated mattress machine, UltraClean 1.0 - named through an FRC staff competition as "Mattilda".This world-first machine processes up to 20 mattresses per hour using automation and a sophisticated digital cloud-connected control system, meaning huge volumes of mattresses can be given a new and extended life.Mattresses are restored to extremely high cleanliness levels through a multi-stage process of: dry-vacuuming; pre-spray; steam cleaning and vacuum; ozone saturation; high-power UV bath; and rapid drying.This is great news for the environment too. Every mattress which is reused saves 79.5 kg of CO2 which is the equivalent of taking 14 cars off the road for a day.UltraCleaned mattresses are donated directly to people in furniture poverty and given to reuse charities who sell them at a low cost in their communities.With the UltraClean 2.0 project, Furniture Resource Centre will build on the success of the world's first mattress cleaning machine, putting Liverpool City Region at the core of a national rollout of advanced mattress cleaning systems with global ambition -- simultaneously addressing a notoriously challenging waste stream and the lack of affordable furniture for people in poverty.
