OPL AT CLEAN SHOW
Flexible options with intelligence
Sophisticated technology is really pushing the pace of change in the OPL market and delivering remarkable benefits to operators
he Clean Show in Orlando at the end of August was a prime opportunity to see what is now available in the world of on premises laundries (OPL). Of course, there is quite a crossover between OPL and coin-op requirements as often the same machine simply needs to have a coin- op/card payment option added and/or the technology to pay for use via Apps. The Internet of Things (IoT) is making flexibility so much easier. So, if we take a wider view than just looking at OPL, then please bear with us.

Danube landed in Florida with a selection of solutions designed to improve efficiency with connectivity. From machines for small businesses to advanced equipment for OPL and industrial laundries, and its impressive barrier washers for cleanroom laundries, IoT technology (connecting everyday devices to the internet) allows Danube machines to connect online, gathering key data to improve washing and drying. Users are offered more control, with detailed reports on production, cycles, consumption, revenue, and more. The technology also ensures high-quality processes, guaranteeing hygiene and disinfection in every wash and dry cycle, says Danube.
All models are equipped with new ET2 microprocessor, with a 7” touch screen, allowing traceability control, data analysis and the possibility to display illustrative videos.
Domus fulfilled its mission at The Clean Show to highlight its OPL offerings with the theme also emphatically on connectivity and efficiency. DomusConnect IoT technology (connecting everyday devices to the internet) allows Domus machines to connect online, gathering key data to improve washing and drying times while managing the business remotely. Whirlpool Corporation’s Maytag brand debuted a new lineup of multi-load washers and the new Advantage dryers. The

new equipment lineup, with washer sizes up to 85 pounds, and dryer capacities up to 120 pounds, provides high-capacity, high- efficiency solutions for both vended and on-premise (OPL) laundry environments, says Maytag.
“Our new multi-load line reflects what commercial laundry operators have been asking for: reliable, durable equipment built to satisfy market demands,” says Michael Ledford, senior director and general manager, commercial laundry. “Whether designing a Maytag equipped laundry or outfitting an OPL facility, our goal is to provide solutions that meet the daily requirements of commercial laundry operations.”
The new multi-load washer lineup provides the flexibility and performance operators need, whether managing a busy laundromat or a highly structured OPL operation. Available in capacities up to 85 pounds, the 200G in rigid-mount models and up to 360G in soft-mount configurations help improve throughput and reduce dry times.
The newly available Advantage dryers, with capacities up to 120 pounds, are designed for high-volume, high-traffic laundry environments. Designed to complement the new washer line and provide an end-to-end Maytag solution, these dryers offer advanced performance and operational efficiency, says Maytag. Maytag also demonstrated innovations for specialised textile cleaning needs with a powerful lineup of commercial laundry solutions from Whirlpool Corporation, including a speciality drying cabinet for firefighters’ uniforms and an industrial- strength dryer for on premises laundry (OPL) operations from American Dryer Corp (ADC) – a Whirlpool brand, as is Maytag. The ADC firefighter’s turnout gear drying cabinet (ADFG) is purpose-built for fire houses and is designed to safely dry up to six full sets of turnout gear, coats, pants, gloves and boots without tumbling.
