Jensen-Group looked back over a successful four days at the show, where the company had a busy time on its 1,600 m2 stand. The booth was packed with advances in laundry automation, robotics, chemical- free wash disinfection, a new super- efficient mechanical handling system and a high-speed garment loader along with other new equipment and solutions. The solutions on the stand fully supported Jensen’s avowed mission to, along with laundry businesses, create the future of laundry automation and shape the industry in a sustainable way.
According to Nicolas Gostony, Jensen’s head of marketing: “We showcased various innovative solutions that captured our visitors’ interest, leading to meaningful conversations. Our automated soiled side sorting systems, innovative washroom technologies as well as finishing solutions for flat linen, towels, workwear, and mats were all highly appreciated. In partnership with Inwatec, we presented the latest advancements in laundry automation, receiving positive responses from our customers and partners.”
A standout feature, says Gostony, was the automatic soiled side sorting system with camera technology and AI, showcased in collaboration with Inwatec. “This solution sets a new benchmark for efficiency and ergonomics and is anticipated to become the future standard in every laundry. Over 150 automatic sorting systems have already been successfully installed worldwide, confirming that as suppliers, we offer expertise and innovation leadership unique to our industry.” Hygiene and efficiency were key topics in the washroom area. UVClean, the chemical- free disinfection method for the double drum section of tunnel washers, was recently granted a patent as well as a hygiene certificate from the renowned German Schubert Hygiene Institute. With UVClean, 90% of the bacteria in the double drum is eliminated after just 30 minutes, going up to 99.9% after 90 minutes. Jensen tunnel washers also claim to feature the shortest transfer times in the industry, thanks to the open drum design without scoops.
