Laundry Equipment

Commercial laundry equipment is essential for UK hotels, care homes, and hospitality venues handling high-volume washing daily. These industrial-grade machines tackle everything from bed linens to uniforms with remarkable efficiency. Unlike domestic machines, these workhorses offer 10-15kg capacity, energy-efficient operation, and robust stainless steel construction designed for constant use. After 50 years supplying the industry, we've seen how proper laundry equipment transforms operations—reducing costs, improving hygiene standards, and freeing up staff time. They work brilliantly alongside commercial ironers and folding equipment for a complete on-site laundry solution that pays for itself in operational savings!

How Commercial Laundry Equipment Works

Commercial laundry machines operate on principles similar to domestic models but with industrial-grade components and control systems. High-capacity washers use powerful motors to create optimal drum action, washing larger loads (10-30kg) while precisely controlling water temperature, detergent dispensing, and cycle times. The robust spin cycles extract significantly more water than domestic machines—reaching up to 1000RPM to reduce drying time. Meanwhile, commercial dryers use either gas or electric heating elements with industrial-grade fans to circulate hot air efficiently through tumbling laundry, cutting energy usage while drying items evenly. The result? Consistently clean, properly dried linens ready for reuse in a fraction of the time.
