COMMERCIAL LAUNDRY KNOW YOUR ROLE
Alistair Blair-Davies, Global Director of Brand & Marketing Communications at Hydro Systems Europe, discusses how optimal laundry efficiency can be achieved by improving the precision of chemical dispensing.
In any application where on-premise or industrial laundry is required, it can be the finest margins that determine whether the operation is running with optimal performance. When this performance is not attained, it is a business’ bottom line that will suffer – through both financial efficiency and, ultimately, customer loyalty.
One often overlooked factor in large laundry applications is how efficiently chemicals are dispensed, in terms of a single cycle and over the course of continuous operation.
That’s why businesses that run these operations – be it on-premise laundry (OPL) or commercial laundries – must utilise the chemical dispensing technologies that can make a direct impact on their running costs.
KNOWING THE PROBLEMS Unfortunately, the inefficiencies in a laundry operation may not be detected unless you know what to look for. One of the foremost problems is the wearing of parts that causes chemical dispensers to become inaccurate in the levels of product they put into the cycle.
Too much product dispensed not only leads to wastage and increased chemical costs for the customer, but can also lead to a detrimental impact on the linen or could even cause irritation to the wearer, a commonly overlooked consideration. If too little product is dispensed, laundry staff might feel the quality of the wash is not good enough and repeat the cycle – inevitably leading to increased labour time and chemical cost. Furthermore, a consistent reduction in the quality of the wash will impact the reputation of the chemical manufacturer and put that account at risk.
But even if an issue is noticed, resolving it is not as cut and dry as simply calling for routine maintenance – that is another cost in itself, which can be far higher than one might expect.
42 | Tomorrow’s Cleaning June 2016 “Unfortunately, the
inefficiencies in a laundry operation may not be detected unless you know what to look for.”
Parts might fail at different times, so the cost of calling out repairmen time after time can really start to rack up. For example, if a peristaltic tube wears out and it costs £50 for a callout and replacement part, should another part become faulty soon after, the cost will multiply unnecessarily.
However, there are solutions available that minimise the risks and thus, the associated costs.
KNOWING THE SOLUTION Hydro Systems is the industry leader in venturi technology and our most recent innovation in laundry dispensing, EvoClean, incorporates our latest
venturis, rather than peristaltic or diaphragm technology, to ensure that exactly the right amount of chemical is dispensed every time and to guarantee the consistent quality of results.
Then, when it comes to installation and routine maintenance, the EvoClean is exceptionally easy to handle. EvoClean comes pre-wired from the factory to save time on installation, which in turn significantly reduces the time it takes to install multiple units. Once installed, there is no need for routine maintenance or tube replacement – meaning chemical flow rates are accurate all the time, and laundry is washed to the highest standard consistently over the product’s life-cycle.
When it comes to laundry systems, it is important that businesses control the long term costs. EvoClean is the solution, suitable for all laundry environments, large or small, and comes ready for either industrial or on- premise laundry environments.
