Toast of the laundry
10 June 2014
As the upmarket Llanerch Vineyard Hotel in the Vale of Glamorgan has expanded its accommodation, restaurant and cookery school operations in recent years, it became necessary to totally upgrade the laundry from the semi-domestic arrangement that it had previously.
Owner Ryan Davies called in Armstrong Commercial Laundry Systems last year to discuss his requirements and was impressed with the service from the start.
"Tom Lowes, Armstrong’s director, went right through all our requirements in detail and advised us on the type and size of equipment to meet our needs – and as it turned out that proved to be exactly right,” he said.
The laundry consists of an Amazon W6 6kg capacity washer and an Amazon HSF11 11kg capacity washer with two Huebsch 14kg (271 litre) capacity tumble dryers. Armstrong’s Amazon HSF washers are available in a range of sizes from 7kg – 24kg, offering 15% savings on water consumption and using 20% less energy than the models they replaced. In addition, the very high spin speed giving a spin factor of 400G cuts residual moisture by up to 20%, thereby reducing the drying time and so the energy consumption of the dryers too. The US built Huebsch dryers are said to be the world’s best selling commercial tumble dryers and range from 8kg (200 litre) to 77kg (1400 litre) capacities.
