INDUSTRIAL WASHING MACHINES AND DRYERS<\/h2><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>What is an industrial washing machine? <\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
Industrial washing machines are very similar to domestic washing machines, with the difference that they are usually more heavy-duty and contain better components, since they are designed to work for 8 hours a day, 7 days a week.<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>How long is the wash program of an industrial washing machine? <\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
The average washing time of an industrial washing machine depends on different factors, but a common program usually lasts about 1 hour.<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>What are the dimensions of an industrial washing machine? <\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

The dimensions of an industrial washing machine vary according to its capacity. For example, we have 11 kg industrial washing machines with a height of just over 1 m and much larger 120 kg industrial washing machines with a height of more than 2 m.<\/p>\n

(LS washing machines<\/strong><\/a>, high-speed models by PRIMER)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Can the water from a washing machine be reused? <\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Yes, with water recovery systems. Primer washing machines can be connected to SAVETANK<\/strong><\/a> water recovery tanks, which allow for savings of up to 70% of water and detergent every year.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>How can I save water when using the washing machine? <\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
Our washing machines offer various water-saving options. Firstly, users have the option to set the program according to the needs and the load, adjust the water level according to the load, select the design of the drum, etc.
\nThe ET2 control system allows the user to set the program and adjust the amount of water and detergents to optimise the washing cycle and save on resources. Using less water in the washing process indirectly helps to consume less chemical product, as less is needed to achieve the proper concentration when soaking. What is more, less energy is needed to heat the water.<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>How do I quickly remove a stain?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
Over time, stains become more deeply embedded in the garment. Time is of the essence, and it is important to treat the garment with the appropriate programme and detergent for each type of stain.<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>How important is temperature in washing? <\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Water temperature is one of the key factors in the washing process. Each fabric and chemical product have an optimum working temperature, and we need to find the right balance in order to avoid serious problems such as shrinkage and deformation of the garment, colour bleeding, wear and tear, etc.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>What is the difference between a domestic tumble dryer and an industrial tumble dryer? <\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

While industrial tumble dryers are very similar to domestic tumble dryers, the former have a larger capacity and, above all, are much more heavy-duty. Industrial tumble dryers feature higher quality components which allow them to work non-stop for up to 10 hours a day.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Which machine is used for drying in an industrial laundry? <\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
Laundry drying depends on the type of garment. Our tumble dryers are designed to treat and dry any type of garment. On the other hand, calenders are used primarily for drying flat linen. Calenders can dry and iron clothes taken directly from the washing machine. This saves on consumption from tumble dryers.<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

INDUSTRIAL FLATWORK IRONERS<\/h2><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>What is an industrial flatwork ironer? <\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
An<\/span> industrial flatwork ironer<\/b> is a laundry machine used for ironing flat linen, including all types of table linen, curtains, sheets, pillows, etc. Some are equipped with vacuum and blowing units for drying and ironing at the same time.<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>What types of industrial flatwork ironers does Primer offer? <\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
We have two different types of machines: wall ironers and high output calenders. The former are electric models that are suited to restaurants and small hotels.
\nThe latter are designed to offer high output in small spaces. They can include a feeder and a folder.
