Two are better than one. Craving additional laundry capacity and production, Laundry Plus, an industrial laundry in Bradenton, Fla., recently moved to a new state-of-the-art plant – and to keep pace with booming sales – added a second Girbau Industrial (GI) TBS-50 Continuous Batch Tunnel Washing System. The twin GI tunnel systems – capable of processing up to 70,000 pounds of laundry in an 11-hour day – opened the door to new business, dropped water usage to 0.6 gallons of water per laundry pound, and more than doubled production.
“Without presorting we process 600 pieces per hour. If we presort, we can go to 800-900 pieces per hour, or 1,100 for twins and 850 for kings.”
