Compact and low maintenance
Narrow widths of approximately 55” / 140 cm (depending on model) and the resulting small footprints allow for simple transport, as well as ease of relocation and installation in space-restricted machine rooms.
A key aspect of the BluGenium is its low maintenance requirements.
