Why Equipment Cost is Not The Most Important Factor When Buying a New Machine

Posted on by Remington

So Many of us focus on the one thing that is right in front of us when purchasing a new commercial washer. The PRICE! We are forgetting the most important thing when making this ever important decision. Cost of ownership of that machine at 5 years, 10 years and 15 years. New equipment isn’t just going to last for the first 5 years when many large repairs are covered under warranty. You will inevitably have to repair your new machine in its lifetime. So many times we overlook that cost into our decision. So many brands are competitive on initial purchase price of machines. But big names like Unimac and Speed Queen are set to make huge returns on repairs. Cost of parts for these machines has gotten out of control over the last decade. Many parts for the Unimac machines cost two to four times as much as there competitors. For example a Unimac controller is $3704.70, this same part with a B&C or Fagor washer which has the same features or more costs one third the price. No days manufacturers all source similar parts from the few manufacturers out there. So don’t be fooled into purchasing a machine that will charge you two to four times as much for the same part. Call us today to see why we sell the brands we do. Honest and fair pricing upfront and in the future. See the chart below to compare many parts on a Unimac to our Fagor and B&C machines.

Disinfectant Cleaner: Quick and Safe Practices for Disinfecting

Posted on by Nick Carrion

Washing our hands is still the easiest and most effective way to control the spread of diseases and infections. But with the current COVID19 pandemic and other infectious diseases, surface disinfecting needs to be practiced as well as germs, bacteria, and viruses can survive on surfaces for an hour or more.

Check out these quick and safe practices for disinfecting that might be useful to you and others within your circle

  • Determine where disinfectants are specifically needed.
    • For example, disinfectant cleaner on doorknobs, railings, and toilet sits, sinks, faucets, and surfaces frequently touched. Use surface sanitizers with proven 99.9% efficacy for toilet bathroom walls, floors, and toilets.
  • Some surfaces need to be cleaned first before using an approved disinfectant cleaner.
  • Always follow label instructions on proper dilution, use, rinsing procedures, and how long the cleaner will stay on the surface to ensure it will effectively kill the germs, bacteria, or fungi.
  • Avoid using aerosols or antimicrobial air fresheners as these are not effective at killing germs or bacteria.
  • Compare disinfectant cleaner’s efficacy and health impact. It is always a good idea to look for an alternative disinfectant cleaner with the same efficacy but with lower health or environmental risks.
  • Use concentrated disinfectant cleaner as this is environmentally approved and a cost-effective method.

Industrial Dryer

Things to Consider when Choosing an Industrial Dryer

Posted on by Nick Carrion

An industrial dryer is an essential part of almost all manufacturing and processing procedures to efficiently reduce moisture levels on a large volume of materials. Industrial dryers are available in different types and models to cater to the varying types and volumes of materials to be processed.

Buying an industrial dryer is a major investment; it may require a large amount of money, but it can last for decades. Since the quality of the final product is somewhat dependent on the performance of the machine, choosing the right dryer for your needs requires careful consideration.

Below are the things you need to look for before investing in this machine:

Material

  • Is the material corrosive or flammable? Is the material sticky or sludgy when wet? These characteristics need to be given a thought as these can also affect the lifespan of the industrial dryer. Also, with these in mind, will the drying machine be designed to maintain machine performance and the quality of the end product?

Drying requirements

  • It is ideal to know the starting and the ending moisture content for the machine to complete the drying process. It is also essential to know the material’s moisture bound; how is it holding to the water that needs to be dehydrated. Water that is trapped inside the material particles requires a different method of vaporizing compared to unbound or free moisture. These factors will determine the drying needs that need to be added to the machine.

Production requirements

  • The industrial dryer must be sized according to the bulk of material that needs to be processed. Will the material be continuously processed or will be done by batches? An inappropriately sized drying machine will not properly dry the materials which affect the overall quality. Not only that, but it can also potentially damage the drying machine.

Plant area

  • Will the size of the plant be sufficient to accommodate the size of the dryer? Also, take into consideration the condition of the plant; the levels of humidity, and noise. Will the plant’s power sources be compatible with the industrial dryer?

Final product

  • Will the machine affect the physical characteristics of the material while drying? Will it cause the material to over-dry or shrink? The choice of the industrial dryer must meet the final product and quality control requirements.

Cost and efficiency

  • Apart from the initial cost, also consider the maintenance cost of the machine throughout its lifespan. Some machines require a little initial expense but have an expensive operation cost while some have a large upfront cost but operate efficiently. This part may make or break the purchasing stage but you have to look at the long-term benefits in choosing the right industrial dryer.

By thoroughly weighing these factors, your choices will be narrowed, making it easier for you to test the dyers with your materials. Whether this is a new project or with an existing industrial dryer that needs replacement, investing in an industrial drying machine must be planned and researched thoroughly.

common laundry problems

4 Common Laundry Problems and How You Can Fix Them

Posted on by Nick Carrion

It may not be everyone’s favorite activity, but doing laundry is an inevitable part of life, especially in the hospitality industry and other industrial settings where large quantities of linens, sheets, and other types of clothing need to be washed regularly and professionally.

While the concept of washing seems pretty straightforward, it’s not uncommon to encounter these hiccups along the way that could easily make your business suffer if you don’t address it properly.

 

The towels come out grey after drying

It’s not uncommon for some clothes, linens, or towels to come out gray after washing. But sometimes, towels can also come out grey after drying, which is caused by occasional over-drying.

To solve this problem, professional drying solutions suggests that every towel tumbler should be fitted with an automatic terminator that will prevent over-drying by stopping the process when there’s only about 2% of moisture left in the textile.

This accessory is usually sold as an energy saver, but it’s also just as helpful in preventing towels, linens, and sheets from turning grey after drying.

 

You see detergent residues on clothes

No one wants to wear clothes that smell of detergent because they are not only pretty strong for the nose but also harsh on the skin, which might cause allergies. But if you see detergent residues on clothes and even sheets, it could be because your powdered detergent isn’t dissolving properly.

To fix this problem, use liquid detergent if you’re doing cold-water cycles because the powder doesn’t dissolve as much in cold water. Also, keep your loads below the maximum level to make sure that your clothes can spin properly.

You can also try filling the washer with water first and adding the detergent before putting the clothes to give it time to dissolve properly.

 

Clothes and sheets become yellow

Yellowing has been a longtime problem in commercial settings and it’s usually caused by the incorrect finishing of textiles after the manufacturing process. This is why it’s best to rinse new textiles with just warm water before putting them in the washing machine because the heat will usually cause the discoloration if the cloth was left with an alkaline surface.

It’s also important to use a detergent booster or increase the amount of detergent on your next wash to avoid any further discoloration.

 

There are small holes in sheets and clothes

Finally, when you’re offering professional laundry solutions, you can’t afford to cause any damages to the sheets, textiles, towels, and clothes that you’re washing. But sometimes, small holes may appear in some fabrics, which are caused by incorrect membrane press settings.

The membrane-press is an important tool in speeding up the washing and drying process because it helps to minimize the moisture content in fabrics after every rinse. But if not done right, some fabrics won’t be able to handle the full pressure of the membrane-press causing small holes in them. To avoid this, make sure that you don’t overuse the membrane-press settings, especially when washing old fabrics.

Why An Industrial Washing Machine Is Better?

Posted on by Nick Carrion

A regular washing machine is what most homeowners have in their households. While a regular washing machine is enough to cover the weekly laundry, industrial washer offers numerous advantages that you will appreciate in the long run.

  • Bigger capacity – industrial washing machine can handle bigger and larger loads. Bigger load means extra productivity.
  • Durability – an industrial washer is designed for rigorous washing. It can handle the demands of regular use.
  • Cost-efficient – while a regular washing machine can handle the regular family laundry, constant use will cause wear and tear which will leave you with no choice but to purchase a new one. On the other hand, industrial washing machines are designed to withstand the rigors of regular use.
  • Time-efficient – industrial washer has a larger cylinder size compared to a regular home washing machine. Loads of laundry can be dried in as quickly as 30 minutes in an industrial washing machine.

Getting an industrial washing machine is quite expensive, but the life of the machine and the benefits it can give you outweighs the cost.

An industrial washer may be expensive at first, but the life of the machine saves you from the stress of going through the hassle of getting your regular washing machine repaired or replaced.

hand washing - sanitizer dispensers

When to Use Hand Sanitizer

Posted on by Nick Carrion

Hand washing with soap and water is still one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of harmful germs and bacteria. Even before the COVID19 pandemic, hand washing has been highly encouraged by medical and health professionals.

But in the absence of soap and water, using at least 60% alcohol-based sanitizer can reduce the risk of getting sick and spreading germs.

The use of hand sanitizer is easy, convenient, and almost always readily available. In some public places like bus and train stations, public restrooms, fast food chains, and others have strategically placed sanitizer dispensers for public use.

While alcohol-based sanitizer can kill microbes, it is not entirely effective on all germs and other harmful substances on your hands.

Since hand sanitizer does not kill all types of germs and remove harmful chemicals, when do we need to use hand sanitizer?

Knowing which method to use in any given circumstance will give you the best chance of preventing the spread of germs or bacteria. Most of all, it cuts down the chance of getting sick.

  • When in hospitals – hospitals deploy hand sanitizers in sanitizer dispensers in all corners. Always take advantage of the free use of alcohol-based sanitizer when visiting a friend or a loved one in the hospital. Studies show that hand sanitizers work well in hospital settings; for hands come in contact with germs only not with grease.
  • When in nursing homes – sanitize your hands with at least 60% to 95% alcohol-based sanitizers before and after visiting a friend or loved one in nursing homes. Nursing homes provide free access to hand sanitizers for hygienic purposes.
  • When in public places – there are moments when soap and water are not available like when you are in the park or out driving, the use of alcohol-based sanitizer can reduce the microbes in the hands. Always use at least 60% to 95% alcohol-based sanitizer as it is more effective in killing germs.
  • When you cannot wash with soap and water – always carry a hand sanitizer with you.  So when public sanitizer dispensers with 60% to 95% alcohol-based sanitizer are not available, you always have enough to temporarily cleanse your hands.
  • When you want added protection – you can rub a hand sanitizer all over your hands after washing with soap and water for extra protection.

Use hand sanitizers properly; refer to the manufacturer’s advice for the recommended amount. Then, rub alcohol based on your entire hands, gaps between your fingers, and on the back of your hands. Lastly, only stop rubbing when your skin is dry.

Remember not to use hand sanitizer when your hands are visibly greasy and dirty. Do not use hand sanitizer if you have touched harmful chemicals like heavy metals or pesticides.

Also, do not use hand sanitizer when you have been exposed to high infectious agents like if you are with a person who is sick with Clostridium difficile.

Do not use hand sanitizer because it is convenient. Although sanitizer dispensers are readily available in public places, hand washing is still the most effective way to combat the spread of diseases and germs.

Different Types of Chemicals Used in Laundry

Posted on by Nick Carrion

Doing laundry is an important part of our house chores. Hotels, restaurants, and resorts have to do laundry in bulk. From sheets, towels, table covers and napkins, and other linens need to be clean and smelling fresh. But do you have any idea what are the different laundry chemicals used to keep these piles of sheets and textiles crisp, fresh, and stain-free?

Laundry chemicals include pre-spotters, detergents, detergent boosters, neutralizers, bleaches, de-stainers, and fabric softeners. Take a look at the descriptions of each laundry aid to know which solution works best for your specific laundry needs.

  • Pre-spotters come in liquid formulation which is used to remove oil, make-up, grease, dirt, and other tough stains. Pre-spotters eliminate stubborn dirt or stains before washing.
  • Detergents are the main laundry cleaning agents to get rid of dust, dirt, oil, and, stains which are made of synthetic surfactant, chelating agents, enzymes, fragrances, and optical brighteners.

Detergents are available in three (3) forms: solid, liquid, and powder. Liquid detergent works well in all water temperatures. On the other hand, powder detergent works best with warm water to dissolve.

  • Detergent boosters are used together with laundry detergents to improve stain removal. The uses of these boosters also enhance the cleaning performance of laundry detergent at the same time conditioning the water for optimal results.
  • Neutralizers remove residual alkali and mineral deposits in the water. Neutralizers’ also known as souring agents are responsible for controlling the PH of the linen to cut down possible skin irritation. By removing the high mineral deposits in the water, neutralizers prevent the linen from turning yellowish or grayish.
  • Bleaches are laundry cleaning aids used to remove stubborn stains not removed during the wash cycle, brighten and whiten fabrics. Laundry chemicals like bleaches or de-stainers turn the soil into soluble particles that are then eliminated by laundry detergents. Laundry bleaches are available in two types: chlorine and oxygen.

Chlorine bleach is primarily used for white linens as a brightening agent. It can also be used to disinfect fabrics while oxygen bleach is or commonly known as “color safe” bleach is gentle and safe for use on almost all washable fabrics.

  • Fabric softeners are added to the final rinse to make the fabrics fluffier and softer. Fabric softeners reduce the wrinkles on fabrics, thus making ironing easier and faster.
  • Enzyme presoaks are for heavily stained or soiled fabrics. Presoaks are used for soaking linens before washing. Also, when added to wash water, presoaks enhance the cleaning performance of laundry detergents.
  • Starches and fabric finishes these laundry aids are used in the final rise to make the fabrics more soil resistant.

Laundry chemicals and solutions contribute to the overall performance of laundry detergents. These laundry aids and products have precise benefits and advantages to achieve effective laundry washing and cleaning.

For optimal results, use laundry products that suit your fabric needs, wash methods, and washing equipment. With so many products available in the market, it is important to know what products are meant for your needs.

How the Pump Works on Soap Dispensers

Posted on by Nick Carrion

Pumps are used in different applications and usually found in household items for everyday usage. It is commonly used in sprayers and dispensers like soap dispensers. But how do pump dispenser pump works? How does it pump the liquid upwards?

The soap dispensers rely on the bottle and the air suction to draw the fluid upwards. The pump is attached to a long flexible plastic tube that runs through the bottom of the bottle. Above the dip is a valve that prevents the liquid from going back down to the tube.

The pump works by applying pressure on to the pump mechanism and then creates a suction effect which draws the liquid upwards the tube. Once you release the pump head, the valve returns to its sealing position to block the liquid from flowing back to the bottle.

A soap dispenser pump is composed of several components:

  • The actuator is the top of the pump pressed to dispense the liquid soap.
  • The closure is the part of the pump that is attached to the bottleneck.
  • The outer gasket is made of plastic or rubber that prevents the liquid soap from leaking.
  • A dip tube is a flexible tube that extends from the housing to the bottom of the container.
  • Housing is the main component of the soap dispenser that draws fluid to the actuator.
