Washing Machines & Dryers - Commercial & Industrial

Commercial and industrial washing machines and dryers are used for large scale washing jobs required by businesses such as hotels and linen services.

Washing machines and dryers can be categorised by application, including coin operated, light commercial, on-premise and industrial equipment. Products can also be classified by type including washers, dryers, stack washer dryers, drying tumblers, washer extractors and ironers. Many commercial washers are built for use by the general public, and are installed in publicly accessible laundromats or laundrettes, operated by money accepting devices or card readers.

Commercial and industrial washing machines and dryers businesses can provide solutions for a wide range of industries including: aged and healthcare, hospitality and student accommodation, government and mining, laundromats and dry cleaners, hospitals and prisons, and service industries. These businesses will provide sales, installation, design, service, maintenance and parts for a wide range of commercial laundry equipment from the world’s top suppliers.

The features of a commercial laundromat washer are more limited than a consumer washer, usually offering just two or three basic wash programs and an option to choose wash cycle temperatures. Most large-scale industrial washers are horizontal-axis machines, but may have front-, side-, or top-load doors. Some industrial clothes washers can batch-process up to 800 pounds (360 kg) of textiles at once, and can be used for extremely machine-abusive washing tasks such as stone washing or fabric bleaching and dyeing.
