How to Find the Best Commercial Laundry Machines For Your Business

Facilities that require on-site, on-premise laundry need the best commercial laundry equipment's to handle a large workload. Whether your organization is a hotel or a hospital, correctional facility or school, having dependable commercial laundry equipment's can help you keep your operation running smoothly and efficiently. With so many options out there, deciding which type of equipment is the right fit can be challenging. Here are several factors to choose from and what equipment's our team at Scott Equipment recommends.

What features make the best commercial laundry equipment?

best commercial laundry machinesWhile you may be drawn to a particular brand of equipment, something to note is that although there are some retail brands that cross over to the commercial laundry space, the types of washers and dryers you need for a facility with high volume and turnover are an entirely different thing altogether.

Today’s commercial laundry equipments are built for durability, long-term use, high efficiency, and easy maintenance. They also contain features that allow you to track usage and efficiency to optimize your operation. Here are a few factors to consider when selecting the best commercial laundry equipment for your facility:

  • Size - You may be thinking that size is just about the footprint of the unit on your floor. While there are decisions to be made about facility layout, it is just as important to know the volume of laundry you handle, the number of units you need to handle that volume and how quickly you need to turn a load of laundry to be most efficient. Drum sizes can vary from 30 pound to 120-pound capacities and more.
  • Eco-Friendly Features - reducing your carbon footprint is one of the factors you may want to consider, but the benefit is that these machines are not only good for the environment but also good for your wallet. For example, when the washer extracts more water per load using higher speed spin functions, drying time and costs are reduced. Automatic chemical injection also is a fairly standard feature that can increase the useful lifespan of your sheets, uniforms, and more while reducing the amount of chemicals used per load.
  • Ease of Use - Depending on the type of user for a commercial machine, you need to have precise controls that are easy to understand, can be managed and enable use with minimal training. Some machines offer digital controls, multi-language capabilities, and preset settings to make them more efficient and ramp up staff faster.
  • Durability and Warranties - The last thing you need is a commercial washer and dryer that breaks or can be easily damaged by the user. Some manufacturers, such as Dexter, ensure every unit withstands extreme testing of up to 1,000 hours, running at maximum extract levels with extreme out-of-balance loads. Coupling this with industry-leading warranties covers major components technical support when you work with Scott Equipment and Dexter.
  • Cost - There are many ways to determine how cost-effective a machine is, but it is perhaps the most crucial factor for people looking to buy a commercial machine. Flexible financing and leasing programs can help take the load off your upfront investment and provide a faster path to ROI.
