What makes a washing machine reliable?
Industrial laundries are facilities that are governed by a high-performance work environment, so it is very important to have equipment that can withstand this pace of work and to have the certainty, the reliability, that it can. As we mentioned in our previous post, reliability is essential when choosing a washing machine since we have to be sure that this equipment has the appropriate technical characteristics to meet the demands of an industrial laundry . Therefore, today we want to dedicate this article to talk in more depth about reliability and about those aspects that make a washing machine more or less reliable.
The floating system
Industrial washing machines must be compact and robust, as they wash large quantities of clothes and work at high speed in complex environments that require very high performance. It must be taken into account that, depending on the volume of work, these machines can be in operation for a large number of hours a day, in some cases up to 12, 14 or even 24 hours. In addition, they are washing machines that give off strong vibrations during centrifugation, as a result of their high capacity. For all these reasons, the most reliable washing machines , in this case, are those known as "floating" ones, which have an independent internal floating chassis that is connected to the machine casing by springs and vibration absorbers . This allows them to be installed on any surface , without the need for anchoring, and to centrifuge at much higher revolutions . In this way, the clothes come out much drier, reducing the expenditure used in drying systems, and allowing capacity to be increased with higher work volumes and capacity.
Vibration monitoring
Vibration monitoring during spinning is another factor that adds value and contributes to the reliability of a washing machine , which is measured by the frequency and severity of breakdowns suffered . Through this system, anomalies can be detected, which makes it much easier to carry out preventive maintenance. This means that action can be taken before a breakdown or incident occurs, undoubtedly reducing downtime due to equipment failures. Finally, reliable equipment must have a rigid and stable chassis, which increases the strength of the machine and, therefore, its durability.
Other elements to consider that provide reliability to a machine are the selection of manufacturing materials, which is essential to assess the quality of a machine; a drum design that provides less wear on the fabrics; and the premium quality of all the machine's internal components.
In short, a reliable machine means a longer useful life and reduced maintenance costs. In addition, since it can work uninterruptedly, it pays for itself more quickly than a less robust machine. For all these reasons, the new series of Yishiwashing washing machines feature a redesign of the floating system, which avoids critical points, they have a chassis with a greater structural rigidity, as well as improved buoyancy, and they incorporate the new plug and play technology, which allows installation on any surface without the need for anchoring, thus guaranteeing greater profitability with high standards of long-term reliability. In addition, the new GS7 battery allows drainage in the event of a power cut, giving the user peace of mind, while reducing wear on the components.
Finally, it is worth highlighting how, thanks to the IoT, Internet of Things, and its advances, much faster maintenance can be accessed thanks to connectivity through tools such as Yishiwashing Sapphire, which allows real-time monitoring of all machinery information and control of productivity and alarms, in order to know the current status of each piece of equipment at all times and be able to act in the event of a breakdown.
