The Vortex M6 was developed to meet the
requirements outlined for washing by AATCC. While this has met a large
segment of the industry’s needs, numerous requests have been made to SDL Atlas
to adjust the instrument to meet supplier specific requirements, especially in
the sportswear markets.
The custom programming ability of Vortex M6 is appreciated by the
market with capabilities for method specific settings in all areas of washing.
Several sportswear retailers have updated
their apparel testing standards to recommend the SDL Atlas Vortex M6 as an
approved instrument for all of their vendors, factories, and testing labs.
These updates come after rigorous
evaluation of the instrument’s comparative performance to previous washers used
by retailers and third party testing facilities and it has been found to be
consistent with specific requirements over and over again.
A document recently released by one major
sportswear retailer, stated, “SDL Atlas now manufactures a top loading washing
machine that can meet AATCC washing standards and will be reliable source of
top loader units for testing.”
The Vortex M6 is the only commercial grade
washer that is specifically designed to address the most recent revisions of
the newest LP1-2018 (Table I, IIC, IID, IIIA and IIIB) and M6 Monograph
requirements developed by the AATCC.
