 Industrial Washing Machines
Industrial washing machines are large, powerful machines used for
commercial and industrial cleaning.
They are often used in laundromats, hotels, factories, and hospitals.
Industrial washing machines are usually water-based and can clean large items
like bedding, curtains, and towels.
They are designed to handle large loads of laundry in less time than home
washing machines.
They are efficient machines with hygienic standards, offering 8 standard signals
for dosing pumps, 3 water inlets, and the ability to be connected to water
recovery tanks.
They also have intensive sanitizing options and are ideal in environments
where the highest levels of cleanliness are essential.

The main types of industrial washing machines are

horizontal-axis
vertical-axis
Horizontal Axis - Horizontal axis washing machines, also known as front load
washing machines, are water and energy efficient machines that use tumbling to
agitate laundry. They are mounted on the floor and have heavy-duty shock
absorbers that help the machine extract water from heavy loads.
Horizontal axis washing machines work by tumbling the wash load through a small
pool of water at the bottom of the tub. This reduces the need for hot and cold
water, and can help save money on electric bills. The machines also have low
vibration, which is an important performance index.

Vertical axis (VA) washing machines use less energy than horizontal axis (HA)
washing machines because the water is not heated. However, VA machines use
twice as much water as HA machines. HA machines use tumble-action for washing
and a high-speed spin cycle, which removes 10% more moisture.
 Dryers

Industrial dryers are machines that remove

moisture from large quantities of materials,
such as clothing, in commercial settings.

They are often made from solid materials

like stainless steel and can be used
continuously.
Industrial dryers are much larger than the
average domestic dryer and are not to be
confused with at-home laundry dryers or
industrial hand dryers.
What is the purpose of the industrial drying machine?
Industrial dryers are used for drying products in many sectors, especially
for drying clothes and textile products in the textile industry.

Which businesses need an Industrial Drying Machine?

For commercial laundries and businesses that need on-premise laundry,
industrial washing machines can do a lot of work, and quickly. Commercial
laundries that want to ensure customer satisfaction can be difficult to
achieve efficiency quickly without an industrial dryer. Likewise,
accommodation establishments such as hotels and hostels need industrial
dryers in commercial laundries, as there will be a need for daily clothes.
Mostly American brands produce the gas heated dryers with indirect
heating system. Means they have a combustion chamber where they use
burner to heat the chamber and air passes through said chamber, gets
heated and comes into dryer. Our system is atmospheric wherein we
directly use open burner and air pass through the flame, gets heated and
comes into dryer.

 Hydro Extractors
Industrial hydro extractors, also known as spin dryers or spinners,
are machines used to remove excess water from washed garments. They
are often used in commercial and industrial settings, such as laundromats,
hotels, and hospitals, where large amounts of laundry need to be processed
quickly. They can also be found in some homes.

 Safety procedures

Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the machine and for packages of laundry and
cleaning aids.

Keep it ventilated
Make sure the machine is well-ventilated, and that the exhaust vents are not
obstructed.

Clean the lint filter

Remove lint build-up from the filter before and after each load of laundry.

Don't overload the dryer

The maximum capacity for a load of laundry is usually 25, 30, 35, 50, 55, or 75 lbs.

Don't use it for other purposes

Don't use the washer for anything other than washing clothes.

Don't dry certain items

Don't dry clothes that have been washed, soaked, or have traces of flammable
products like gasoline, oils, or lighter fluid. Don't dry anything with rubber, latex, or
synthetic parts.
Keep it away from combustibles
Keep the area around the washer or dryer free from combustible items.

Check for obstructions

Make sure the outdoor vent flap opens when the dryer is operating, and that nests
of small animals or insects are not blocking the outside vent.

Have it serviced
Engage the authorized servicing agent or supplier to conduct regular servicing,
repairs, or when there are signs of faults or defects.

Wash your clothes inside out

This is one of the most important and very simple precautions when washing
clothes using a washing machine. Unfortunately, it is also one of the most
ignored basic rules of clothing protection.
