Suggestions for More Efficient Use of Laundry Equipment in a Laundry

In the case of laundry equipment constantly updated, how to ensure that the use of laundry equipment is more efficient and better through correct use and maintenance?

Common problems in laundry equipment use

❑ The performance of the equipment cannot meet the growing consumer demand, and some equipment is idle or even obsolete, increasing the operating costs of the laundry.

❑ The existing washing equipment of the laundry is overloaded, but people do not pay attention to daily maintenance. As a result, frequent failures occur during the laundry season.

❑ Employees understand the laundry technology but do not understand the performance of the equipment. The program is not reasonable, and the production capacity is not ideal.

❑ The laundry efficiency is low while the equipment uses high energy consumption and the use cost is relatively high.

Advice on the use and maintenance of laundry equipment

1. The equipment configuration of each laundry should be tailored to its own positioning and business model. 

Current laundry models are:

● directly operated stores  ● franchise stores,

● online foundries              ● online and offline combination of laundry factories,

The required laundry equipment and site planning are different.

In addition, the configuration of washing equipment should also be different because of:

◇ different clothing sources   ◇ different clothing categories

◇ different degrees of dirt    ◇ different customer needs 

◇ different washing methods  ◇ different ways of sending and receiving clothes

For new equipment and new processes, we should fully understand the technical characteristics, equipment performance, and the matching degree with ourselves. We should not blindly reject new things, nor should we blindly choose without full understanding.

2.  The laundry equipment needs to be properly maintained according to the recommendations of the equipment manufacturer to better play the performance and extend the service life of the equipment.

Laundry owners should conduct training for the personnel who use the equipment, and detail the implementation rules of the daily maintenance plan to the annual, quarterly, monthly, and even daily. They should post a signature form to implement.

For example,

❑The air duct and distillation box of the dry cleaning machine need to be cleaned every day.

❑The dryer needs to remove the wool regularly.

❑The industrial washing machine needs to add lubricating oil according to the regulations.

3. Laundry equipment should be repaired in time. 

Maintenance of industrial washers, dryers, and dry cleaners before the peak season, to avoid all kinds of pipeline leakage, filter blockage, abnormal machine sound, shake, odor, solenoid valve failure, temperature control, etc. It can avoid clothing damage, increased energy consumption, and other problems.

Maintenance is carried out after the end of the peak season to see if there is damage to parts after a long time of high-intensity use, and timely replacement to avoid equipment "working with illness", which will cause more serious equipment damage.

4. Laundry owners should learn to keep pace with the times and learn more about new equipment, new detergents, and new laundry technology. Choosing to wash by hand because you are not familiar with the new equipment, or wash traditionally is a bad idea. It would help if you learned to classify the clothes reasonably. You can make an appropriate program to make 80% of the clothes quickly and directly washed, and 20% of clothes washed after pre-treatment.

The smart equipment as far as possible uses automatic washing to reduce the proportion of hand washing, helping the laundry to improve the efficiency and quality of washing and better achieving timely delivery.

5. For clothes that are neither suitable for dry cleaning nor washing, it is recommended that wet cleaning equipment be configured. The wet washing process can be used to reduce the proportion of hand washing, improve laundry efficiency, and reduce the return rate and incidence of accidents. Also, the wet washing machine often has the function of washing, which is a good choice for laundry upgrading.

The above problems exist in many laundries. We need to continue to pay attention to keep the stable operation of laundries
