In food industry enterprises: meat processing plants, bakeries, confectionery factories, dairies, cold storage plants, etc., the personnel work in special clothing. The production conditions require constant maintenance of its cleanliness. Enterprises, as a rule, have their own medical unit, canteen, sanatorium, recreation center, in addition to special clothing, there is also straight linen (tablecloths, napkins, sheets, pillowcases, etc.). Not having a laundry for their own needs, many resort to the services of municipal laundries. The cost of such services is quite high, you have to pay additionally for transportation costs. The quality of washing in such laundries leaves much to be desired, and linen losses reach significant sizes. As a result, enterprises are forced to constantly spend considerable money on purchasing linen.
Having your own laundry has undeniable advantages:
- the quality of washing is under your control
- increases the service life of linen
- no delay in order delivery
- no dependence on fluctuations in prices for services.
The main advantage: the cost of washing in your own laundry is significantly lower! The cost of washing 1 kg of linen in your own laundry is 2-2.5 UAH, and the cost of washing 1 kg of linen in a communal laundry is 3-7 UAH.
How to choose the right professional equipment for your own laundry at a food industry enterprise?
When selecting laundry equipment, the following are taken into account:
- amount of laundry
- degree of pollution (weak, medium, strong)
- composition of linen (cotton, linen, blended fabrics, etc.)
- type of heating equipment (electricity, steam, combined).
It is necessary to take into account that a washer-extractor will, on average, perform 8-10 cycles for lightly and moderately soiled laundry and only 5-6 cycles for heavily soiled laundry with grease stains, blood, etc. during 8 hours of laundry operation, while a drum dryer will perform more than 10 cycles in any case.
Meeting the high requirements for washing quality largely depends on the equipment used, its reliability, technical capabilities, and efficiency. Severely soiled laundry creates additional difficulties in laundry operations. Washing machines from the French company DANUBE, which are characterized by the flexibility and efficiency of technological processes, can easily cope with such problems. Ironing equipment from DANUBE, GMP Commerciale and ANGHINETTI/Camptel will give your laundry an exceptional look.
Depending on the quantity and type of linen, enterprises can be divided into several categories.
1st category . Small food industry enterprises with lightly, moderately and heavily soiled linen in volumes of 30 – 50 kg per shift. This includes straight linen (napkins, towels, etc.) and personal clothing (robes, hats, overalls, etc.). Laundries in institutions of this type are located on the first or basement floors.
For such a laundry you will need:
- Washing and spinning machines WD8 or WED or GF series (with spinning 1000 rpm) single load 8 or 10-13 kg
- TD series drum dryers with single loading of 8-10 kg
- GMP ironing roller with electric heating, capacity 15-25 kg/hour, shaft width 1000-1600 mm for processing straight linen
- and/or a vacuum ironing table for processing fancy linen (up to 250 units per shift).
2nd category . Medium-sized food industry enterprises, which include several production facilities. The need for linen processing is 50-200 kg per shift. Laundries of such capacity are located in separate buildings or in the basement.
For such a laundry you will need:
- WED or GF series washer-extractors (with 1000 rpm spin) with a single load of 10-25 kg
- drying drums of the TD series with a loading capacity of 10-25 kg
- ironing roller with a capacity of 20-30 kg/hour and a shaft width of 1000 - 2000 mm
- Technomatic ironing press for processing fancy linen (250 units per shift) or MISTRAL vacuum ironing table and steam mannequin.
Category 3. Large food industry enterprises, which include several production facilities. The need for linen processing is 200–1000 kg per shift of heavily soiled linen. Laundries of this capacity are located in separate buildings or in the basement.
To equip such laundries you need:
- WED, GF or CS series washing and spinning machines (with 1000 rpm spin) with a single load of 22-90 kg (with the feature of an optimal set of programs, a special design of heating elements, a special design of the drain valve, ensuring stable operation in conditions of severe pollution and a large amount of debris in the drain water)
- TD series drying drums with a capacity of 22-84 kg
- ironing roller with a capacity of 20-60 kg/hour and a shaft width of 1000 – 2600 mm
- Technomatic ironing press for processing fashionable linen (250 units per shift).
The selection of equipment is carried out based on the proportions of laundry with normal and specific contamination. In fact, enterprises of this type have two laundries. One is for laundry with a common type of soiling, the other is for laundry with specific soiling (blood, grease, oil, etc.).
