What machinery is in an industrial laundry?
In an industrial laundry, each machine fulfils a specific function which, apart from its washing, drying or ironing function, optimises time, reduces costs and guarantees high quality results. From robust washers to advanced ironers, each machine is adapted to meet the needs of different processes. In this article we will talk about what machinery is in an industrial laundry, how it works and what benefits it brings to the laundry.
Types of machinery in an industrial laundry
The machinery found in an industrial laundry varies according to the volume of work and the needs of the business. However, the essential pieces of equipment are industrial washing machines, industrial dryers and wall-mounted ironers.
Each machine is designed to fulfil a specific role in the laundry, whether it is washing, drying or ironing the garments. We also find other complementary equipment such as ozone cabinets to disinfect different garments and complements for transport or other accessories.
How an industrial laundry works
- First of all, the entire transport of garments from the customer’s premises to the industrial laundry near me has to be well planned. Managers of industrial laundries start from the need and know that they must have a large fleet of vehicles to be able to carry out this task. This step is essential to ensure that each garment receives the right treatment.
- Once inside the laundry, they are sorted and separated by the different types of linen or soiling, so that the specific washing programmes or drying and ironing equipment can be identified and used.
- Towels and bathrobes, for example, must be washed, then dried and finally folded. However, the same does not happen with plain linen; sheets, tablecloths, napkins… These types of garments are only washed, there is no need to dry them in the tumble dryer, as they go directly from washing to the ironing-drying process, which dries them at the same time as they are ironed.
- Once this process is finished, modern industrial laundries usually have mechanical means to fold all these clothes. Everything depends on the size of the laundry and the means available.

PRIMER industrial washing machines
We have designed HIGH-SPEED WASHING MACHINES y LOW SPEED WASHERS. The load capacities range from 8 to 120 kilograms, and all of them have very advanced features.
For example, the T2, a state-of-the-art microprocessor with a large 7’ touch screen, is incorporated as standard and offers a wide range of possibilities: 37 available languages, USB connection, 29 preset programmes, 8 standard dosing signals, traceability, real-time data analysis, illustrative videos…
On the other hand, we would like to highlight the high G-Factor that all the models have, the possibility of working with Wet Cleaning programmes or the new PRIMERLINK system, which will allow you to solve incidents and keep an exhaustive control of the traceability remotely and from a mobile device.
PRIMER industrial dryers
If we look at the EXCELLENCE range, we can see that it has an intelligent air recirculation system called Air recovery system, as well as SMART DRY, an intelligent system for humidity control in each drying cycle.
All models have excellent thermal insulation, designed to make the most of heat and energy, always seeking to offer the highest possible degree of energy saving and efficiency. And of course, they also have the new T2 control, connectivity features and the possibility of working with Wet Cleaning programmes.
PRIMER wall ironers
And last but not least, another machine that we believe should be a must in the catalog of machinery for an industrial laundry is the is the fact of having industrial ironers or wall ironers.
Our wall ironers have become the perfect solution for drying, ironing and folding of flat linen. For example, the 500 mm wall ironer and the 650 mm wall ironer roller are capable of drying and ironing linen in a single operation, have different roller widths of 2.20, 2.60 and 3.30 m, a feeding system and front exit, as well as other high production models.
They can be complemented with an integrated longitudinal folder and also have the T2 microprocessor as standard, as some of their most outstanding features and characteristics.
Other industrial laundry equipment
In addition to washers, dryers and wall ironers, an industrial laundry may need different equipment such as ozone cabinets which disinfect and deodorize garments and accessories that are difficult to wash in traditional methods such as the washing machine.
