Advanced technology in industrial washers and dryers offers a variety of benefits to those operating commercial laundromats, or for anyone else that needs to streamline protocols, save energy, and extend better performance to customers.
In the realm of commercial washers and dryers, WashOzone is a name you should know if you don’t know it yet. Here’s your crash course on what it is and why it can make quite a difference for those with commercial laundry equipment.
What Is WashOzone?
At its most basic, WashOzone is an ozone generation system. It consists of a small compressor, an oxygen concentrator, and a corona discharge generator that creates ozone from atmospheric oxygen.
WashOzone is easy to connect to your industrial laundry equipment via a small ozone tube and a control wire. This system directly injects ozone into your laundry stream through a unique device, a diffuser that disperses many small ozone bubbles into the water.
In case you’ve never heard of it before, ozone, or O3, is an allotrope of oxygen that is highly effective for disinfection purposes.
The great thing about ozone is that it is highly toxic to microbes and is effective at killing not only bacteria but also viruses. It is also highly reactive and can help break down organic compounds like grease and soil that might be on clothing. It can also help eliminate allergens.
But the advantages of using ozone for laundry disinfection don’t stop there. It is highly effective in cooler water, and it is much gentler on fabrics than conventional disinfectants and detergents, like bleach.
On top of that, ozone is a highly unstable compound, and decays into free oxygen fairly rapidly, leaving no toxic byproducts, making it safer than other conventional disinfectants. WashOzone is designed so that the ozone produced dissipates during the wash cycle.
WashOzone also includes an OSHA-approved safety monitor to improve the safety of your personnel and customers.
What Benefits Does This Technology Offer Commercial Laundromats and Other Facilities?
Implementing WashOzone with your industrial washers and dryers can offer numerous benefits to your facility, including but not limited to those mentioned here.
- Implementing an ozone disinfection protocol into your workflows can reduce dryer time by as much as 20%.
- Since ozone is effective in cold water, you may be able to improve energy efficiency by running more effective, cooler cycles.
- Utilizing ozone disinfection will help your facility reduce chemical wear on linens and clothing, benefiting your customers.
- WashOzone is compact in size and easily mounts to the wall in tight locations.
- The system is capable of outfitting multiple washing machines with just one ozone generator, further saving on space.
- WashOzone utilizes very little power to operate, further cutting back on energy consumption.
- WashOzone is equipped with adjustable outputs that enable the system to produce only the ozone needed for the number of machines running, or for the load size, improving scalability and efficiency.
- Utility rebates may be available in your area that will help you recoup the return on investment sooner.
- Overall, using ozone disinfection will cut energy consumption, reduce wear on garments, and result in faster, more efficient load cycles, saving your facility money – the bottom line is the proverbial bottom line.
