Midlothian, Virginia Read Case Study: Soft-mount Washers Boost Rental Company's Production and Savings
At the 15-year-old textile rental company Mats for You, the addition of five 90-pound capacity Continental E-Series industrial washers significantly reduced utilities and boosted laundry productivity. For a company that processes an average of 30,000 pounds of laundry per week, success in the laundry room means success for the business. The laundry improved productivity because of the Continental E-Series Washers' ability to reach up to 387 G-force extract speeds. “We have cut our dry-time from 28 minutes to 16 minutes a load – a 43.9 percent savings,” says President Rodney Rixey. Less time in the dryer also means savings in utilities. “Even as our number of clients increases by about 10 each year, thanks to our new washers, our natural gas consumption has stayed the same,” says Rixey. The combination of high-speed extract and reduced dry-time amplifies productivity, and less labor is required to finish the laundry. “Of our 15 employees, we only need one handling all of our laundry,” Rixey says.
