Tips for Reducing Water, Electricity, and Gas Costs of Laundry

Upgrading smart laundry equipment, doing routine maintenance, and updating equipment can save you water, electricity, and gas costs.

Water, electricity, and gas are the three biggest expenses for laundry, so how to reduce these costs is what we need to pay attention to and understand. How can you control these costs through smart upgrades, maintenance, and the purchase of new equipment?

● Often, good routine maintenance of equipment or a small adjustment of the washing machine program can save a lot of money. Further savings in daily consumption can also be achieved by investing in new technology to replace old equipment with outdated technology. Next, let's look at how to improve the energy efficiency of laundry.

Equipment Maintenance 

Regular maintenance in accordance with the instructions for the use of the equipment is the key to the safe and efficient operation of every piece of laundry equipment, which can extend the life of the machine.

● For example, a car can be driven for 8-10 years without maintenance, and a car that pays attention to maintenance can be driven for 15 years or more.

● Similarly, regular maintenance of industrial washing machines and dryers in strict accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations can avoid many daily problems caused by inadequate maintenance, as well as increased use of energy such as steam and electricity.

For example:

❑ Regular preventive maintenance

❑ Regular and thorough cleaning of blower blades

❑ Refueling of bearings according to specified deadlines

❑ Disassembling the front of the dryer as required and removing the pile of fluff around the cabinet, dryer drum, and computer board

❑ Checking whether the belt of the industrial washing machine is tensioned

❑ Checking whether the water valve and drainage device have slow leaks

❑ Paying attention to the cleaning of the exhaust system

❑ Replacing the old washing machine and dryer

Replace Old Washers and Dryers

The energy consumption and efficiency of the new equipment are relatively good at the beginning of use, but the performance will gradually decline over time, and the energy consumption will gradually increase. Especially for equipment that does not pay attention to daily maintenance, this phenomenon will be more prominent.

● If it has been found that the energy consumption of the old equipment has greatly increased, and the intelligence of the equipment has lagged behind the latest equipment for several stages, it should be replaced by the new, more intelligent, and energy-saving equipment. Choosing washing machines and dryers with inverter drive motors that can be programmed by themselves can better save energy.

Choose Industrial Washing Machines with High Dehydration Rates

Although soft-mount industrial washers cost more than hard-mount ones, they can reduce operating costs. The dehydration factor of a traditional hard-mount industrial washer is about 200 G, while the dehydration factor of a soft-mount industrial washer can reach 400 G.

Therefore, it can reduce

❑ the moisture residue in the clothing, reduce

❑ the drying time by about 50% in the subsequent drying, and reduce

❑ the electricity or steam consumption required for drying.

Soft-mount industrial washers can save a considerable amount of water and electricity costs every year. In addition, the soft-mount washer does not need to be bolted to the thick reinforced concrete, which can save floor space and is more convenient to move if it needs to be rearranged later.

Adjust the Parameters of Laundry Procedure in Industrial Washers

When purchasing a new industrial washing machine, it is better to choose an industrial washing machine that can be programmed to save additional water and electricity.

Through program editing, you can precisely set the washing temperature, water level, and rinsing times, and set the pre-washing, main washing, and rinsing time by minute. In this way, the laundry owner can increase or reduce the number of rinses, extend or shorten the main washing and rinsing time, and adjust the water temperature, water consumption, detergents, etc. during washing according to the price of self-service laundry and the cost of water and electricity.

If your laundry consumption is getting higher and higher, you may wish to refer to our suggestions to make appropriate adjustments, I believe there will be positive changes.
