One of the most impressive statistics is the Kw/h of energy consumption measured against the weight of linen washed, which has averaged at 0.736 since the new Fishers Laundry was commissioned. This is significantly lower than the industry norms.


In addition the system requires no boiler room, so no boiler inspections, chemicals, water consumption or leaking pipes. Washer extractor process time is also improved because the heat source is readily available rather than waiting for the steam to be produced.


Michael Jones, Managing Director at Fishers, said: “Fishers’ new Glasgow laundry is among the most energy efficient in Europe and features, 40°C wash technology. We have worked closely with Christeyns to ensure that, even at this lower temperature, the four tonnes of towels and linen we launder every hour are washed to the highest of standards.


“Christeyns’ partnership approach has helped us to achieve reduced levels of energy and enhanced our environmental efficiency with our Glasgow facility.”


To adapt and meet the challenges of today’s competitive marketplace with increasing energy costs, an efficient laundry needs to make not only operational savings – on water and energy – but also on chemical costs.


Along with Zero-Steam, Christeyns also introduced ‘Cool Chemistry’, its total wash concept, into the Fishers laundry.


Cool Chemistry is a patented innovation that combines equipment and chemistry and is able to deliver improved whiteness and increased disinfection over conventional chemistry. The system manages to achieve this by washing at lower temperatures whilst being uniquely designed to wash at a neutral pH.


Cool Chemistry was designed by Christeyns with customer needs at the forefront of its aims. The company looked at some of the biggest challenges their customers faced, both from a quality and a cost perspective. These challenges included big cost drivers such as the replacement of textiles, and water and

energy, alongside the main concerns of customers in the hospitality and healthcare sectors. For hospitality the number one cause of complaints is whiteness, whereas for healthcare the main concern relates to disinfection.


Dave Aveyard, Christeyns Operations Director, explained what this means for their customers: “Our customers are looking to achieve excellent wash results, which at the same time do not have a detrimental effect on

the life of the linen. Textile lifespan is affected by a number of factors, but we have been able to make a big impact on two of the key influences – exposure to aggressive chemicals and the use of high temperatures during the wash process.


“We launched Cool Chemistry into the UK at the end of 2014 and customer take up of this technology has been truly amazing. In the short space of time since launch it has become the fastest growing washing concept in the UK market. It provides a winning solution – saving our customers money whilst improving results.”


Christeyns is passionate about laundry and is constantly researching and developing ways to move the industry forward. Striving to optimise products and provide businesses with high- quality chemicals, innovative dosing systems and effective production processes that are eco-friendly as well as effective.
