Installation of Emerald’s new LT100, 12-compartment tunnel washer with 220-pound capacity is expected to take place at its Colton, Calif. facility later this year. One of the largest commercial healthcare laundry and linen service businesses in the western United States, it is a continuation of Emerald’s multi-million dollar investment in capital equipment.
Last October, Emerald chose LAVATEC and installed a new continuous batch washer system. It included a custom built, 12-compartment bottom transfer tunnel washer, a new 50-bar, LP583S speed press, six TT-745 gas dryers, a 4-pocket loading conveyor and shuttle conveyor, and a dryer shuttle control cabinet.
Delivering dependable commercial laundry equipment engineered for higher returns throughout their lifecycles has been the Lavatec Laundry Technology mantra for over three decades. Some LAVATEC manufactured equipment has been on the job for more than a quarter century. LAVATEC offers center transfer, bottom transfer and double-drum construction options, plus a full range of readily integrated, end-to-end laundry system components: washer extractors, extraction presses, centrifuges, dryers, conveyor systems, pickers, feeders, ironers and folders. Simple design, durable construction, user-friendly operation and low maintenance are hallmarks of LAVATEC machines.
