How to Choose Laundry Equipment in the Laundromats?

For laundromats, the choice of laundry equipment is very important. The mode of laundromat is basically semi-self-service or self-service mode, so the intelligence and ease of operation of the equipment are very important.

At present, many laundromats choose washing machines and dryers that are modified by household machines and increase the function of self-service payment. Then, what are the drawbacks of using converted household washing machines and dryers?

The difference between commercial washers and home-modified washers

Commercial washers are devices which are made according to the commercial standards. They are more functional and stable than household washers and dryers.

❑ Appearance

In terms of appearance, the outer casing of the commercial washers and dryers is basically steel. While the converted household washers are mostly plastic.

❑ Lifespan

In terms of lifespan, the lifespan of professional commercial washers is much longer than that of household washers. A normal household washer is generally used for 8 hours a day, and commercial machines can be used continuously for 24 hours. As a result, commercial washers must have better stability to ensure their lifespan.

❑ Efficiency

In terms of efficiency, commercial washers have a better drying efficiency. When people use household washers, it will take a long time to dry the clothes, or even fail to dry clothes thoroughly. However, commercial dryers not only have higher efficiency but also dry clothes thoroughly. The load ratio is relatively small. While the load ratio of commercial dryers is made just like that of industrial dryers. They have a larger volume of the inner drums, making the clothes expand in the drums. They can dry clothes thoroughly and fast. After drying, the clothes can be directly worn.

After knowing the differences between the commercial ones and the converted household ones, what aspects do you need to pay attention to when choosing the same commercial washing machine?

Aspects that should be considered when choosing a commercial washing machine

❑ The Convenience of the Operation

The self-service washers are operated by the customers to wash their clothes so the operation must be simple and easy to understand. The users should use the machines by themselves without special training. Additionally, the convenience of payment is important as well. With the increasing popularity of electronic payment methods, If the self-service washing machine is still a simple coin mode is obviously not enough. It also needs to have a scan code, credit card, and other payment methods.

❑ The Efficiency of Washing and Drying

The efficiency of commercial washers and dryers is very important. If the time of washing and drying is too long, it will have a negative impact on user experience and the income of the laundry.

Two aspects should be considered when evaluating the efficiency of drying and washing. One is the dehydration rate of the commercial washers. A higher dehydration rate means lower moisture content after washing and higher drying efficiency. The other is the drying efficiency of the dryers.

At present, there are two kinds of dryers: condensing type and straight type. The principle of condensing type dryers is similar to air conditioning, which uses a lot of electricity and has low efficiency. The straight-type dryers have good efficiency, and the clothes after drying are not easy to have wrinkles.

❑ The energy-saving quality of the laundry equipment

The running costs of a laundromat are house rent, labor, water, and electricity. A good laundromat will have many commercial washing machines and commercial dryers. If washers and dryers consume too much water and electricity, the overall cost will increase, reducing the operator’s profit.
