Sizing a laundry: a strategic process
Designing a laundry is not just a technical choice, but a strategic action that responds to the real needs of each facility.
Whether it is a hotel, a retirement home or a school, the first step is to understand what the laundry will have to do: wash, dry, iron… but above all, do it well and efficiently. The environment, availability of resources (energy, water, gas, steam) and staff skills are key elements that need to be harmonised. It is essential to estimate productivity based on the weight of laundry to be processed, avoiding waste and ensuring efficiency.
Each item requires specific treatment: this is where the workflow needs to be optimised by choosing the right machinery and processes. Seasonality also matters: the plant must adapt to peaks and troughs in workload.
A well-sized laundry is scalable, efficient and ready to evolve with the structure.
Every choice, if carefully considered, transforms a laundry plant into a valuable ally, capable of offering quality and reliability over time.
