It is amazing how much laundry there is. We may generally only consider the dirty clothes produced by a family, at home. But there is actually a huge amount of laundry produced institutionally and commercially. Restaurants must launder their table cloths, napkins, and kitchen and server outfits. Although hospitals use many disposable items, they still require commercial washing of their bed linens and many other items. Hotels have a daily need to wash towels, sheets, items from their food facilities, and uniforms. These needs are repeated by many other institutions, schools and companies.
The weight of the laundry must be determined. For the best levels of efficiency, washing machines should be loaded with the correct weight. If they are underfilled, more loads will be required. This causes increased costs, and increased burdens on the environment in terms of water and energy usage. If they are overfilled, the machines may be unable to properly clean the clothes. It may also damage them.
Industrial scales are useful for weighing the laundry. Often, laundry carts are used. These may be rolled onto platform scales. Arlyn Scales manufactures a line of platform scales with a very low profile platform, making it much easier to roll the carts on and off. These electronic scales are built from aluminum, so the water and detergents that are present will not cause corrosion. The load sensors are made from a special type of stainless steel, which are also resistant from water. Furthermore, this type of load cell is much more resistant to damage that can be caused by overload or shock loading. If a laundry cart hits the laundry scale from the side, standard types of electronic scales may sustain damage. An additional feature of this laundry scale is a digital readout with over size numbers. It is easy to obtain an accurate weight reading, even if the scale operator is not standing right next to the digital scale.
Commercial Laundry Operations Rely on Industrial Scales
