Your investment in the vended laundry business

Industry Overview Clean clothing is one of life’s basic necessities. Combine that with the need for linens, towels and other personal items, and this is a daily workload requiring people, time, utilities and money to accomplish. Either by personally owned laundry equipment or through the use of vended machines, this work has to be done. Investors who are interested in owning their own self-service laundry can find that this industry is a rewarding, worthwhile investment opportunity. A proven and robust business NEW TECHNOLOGY AND IDEAS ARE RESHAPING THIS MARKETPLACE The Coin Laundry Association (CLA) estimates that there are some 35,000 self-service laundries in North America, generating approximately $5 billion in annual revenue. Traditionally a cash-based business, many new investors are bringing retail management ideas and current technology to update and upgrade the business model. For instance, a greater emphasis is being placed upon lighting, interior design, customer amenities and store layout. Self-service laundries are retail environments. Like any other business, they rely upon positive retail experiences and the return of repeat customers for maximum profitability. Although they are basic and simple businesses, self-service laundries are also being changed by new and emerging technology. Washers and dryers are becoming more efficient for greater utilities savings. These savings go straight to the laundry owner’s bottom line. Some owners are moving away from cash-based payment systems and toward card-operated stores. These systems reduce the amount of time spent handling coins and they also have a variety of built-in marketing features — such as time-of-day pricing specials and customer data reports — allowing owners to closely examine and refine store operations. This traditional industry is seeing lots of new ideas. Both customers and owners of self-service laundries are benefitting from changes that are making the laundry process fast and simple.

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

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

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.

Things to Consider when Choosing an Industrial Washer: Barrier Washers

A barrier washer is an industrial washer specifically designed to prevent the spread of infection and diseases in the laundry process.  Cleaning of linens in nursing homes, hospitals, and correctional institutions is a critical process to ensure high standards of hygiene and infection controls are maintained.

While the machine’s main task is to prevent cross-contamination, there are also other factors to consider when choosing a barrier washer. It guarantees maximum hygiene at the same time providing outstanding performance and productivity.

With so many barrier washers available in the market today in response to the COVID19 pandemic, picking the right machine can be overwhelming.

Getting to know the features and types of barrier washers will help you find a machine that meets all of your cleaning and washing needs.

So what am I looking for?

Load capacity

  • Choose an industrial washer that can wash and sanitize soiled linens as quickly as possible. Apart from the size, a good barrier washer should cutting-edge ergonomics with user-friendly features such as ease of load and unload, automatic drum locks, and easy to program the machine for fast and efficient operations. With this, more laundry can be washed in a short period.

Performance

  • The right barrier washer must deliver excellent cleaning performance to ensure maximum control of decontamination. The machine should work on performing excellent hygiene in every stage of the laundry process to eliminate the risk of cross-contamination or re-contamination. And, an excellent barrier washer should low-maintenance cost that operates longer.

Ease of use

  • It should feature easy to use programs and controls that can be activated or changed with one push of a button. Also, it should have added features that make the laundry process easy like the loading and unloading of linens.

Ease of installation

  • Look for a barrier washer that can be designed and optimized to fit in your washing room configuration. Although not an urgent requirement, look for a barrier washer that is fitted to the staff of all heights for the users’ convenience.

Flexibility

  • Look for an industrial washer that can be easily upgraded should the need arise. An example is: if you need to upgrade with a second drain valve to recycle and save on water consumption.

Maintenance and after-sales care

  • Look for a barrier washer brand that has excellent customer support with certified engineers that can address your operational issues and unexpected problems. Having trained and highly qualified personnel to handle your equipment and maintenance issues will reduce operational and business stress at the same time keeping the value of your investment for many years. And on untimely breakdowns, you have the peace of mind that it will be addressed promptly.

Whether you need something to just do the basics or a top of the line industrial washer with the unparalleled features using the latest technology, your options are limitless.

Things to Consider when Choosing an Industrial Dryer

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.

The Sanitary Supplies That Consumers Need During the Pandemic

The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has changed the world in more ways than we can all imagine. While suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors are now focused on keeping up with the high demand for basic needs, there is also an increasing need for sanitary supplies in both commercial and private settings.

One of the most in-demand products in the market today is the personal thermometer that’s now a must-have in both homes and business establishments.

In fact, there has been a scarcity in thermometers when the pandemic started and prices have gone up significantly because of how important they are in determining fever, which is one of the telltale signs of COVID-19.

Disinfection systems are also now needed, especially in commercial settings where stores, restaurants, supermarkets, and other establishments need to be disinfected regularly with foggers and UV-based equipment to prevent the spread of the virus.

Finally, there is still a growing demand for personal protective equipment, disinfectant solutions, masks, and face shields, especially for front liners and custodians who are leading the battle against the virus.

These sanitary supplies will continue to be useful in the coming months as the world is still on the hunt for a vaccine or drug that would finally end this pandemic.

4 Common Laundry Problems and How You Can Fix Them

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.
