Barrier Washers for Industrial Laundries
Barrier washing machines are essential for healthcare laundries where hygiene, safety and process control are critical. Girbau Industrial’s barrier washers maintain a one-way flow of linen, keeping dirty and clean areas completely separate to prevent cross-contamination. In addition to reliable washing performance, Girbau Industrial supports laundries at every stage, including planning, installation and service support. As a result, this partnership-focused approach ensures efficient operations, consistent hygiene standards and solutions that grow alongside your laundry.
Special Features of the Barrier Washers
Ergonomic Laundry Design
Designed for ease of use, these barrier washers allow drum rotation and door positioning to operate automatically. Furthermore, indicator lights and audible signals guide operators while a safety system prevents doors from opening during cycles. Multiple compartments for laundry and chemicals simplify sorting and chemistry dosing, boosting efficiency in healthcare laundries.
Reliable Washer Construction
The barrier washers deliver high extraction performance, removing most residual moisture to shorten drying times and reduce energy use. Stainless steel drums and reinforced steel chassis ensures long-lasting reliability. As a result, laundries achieve consistent hygiene, efficient operation and lower maintenance costs over time.
One-Way Linen Flow
Barrier washing machines maintain one-way linen circulation, ensuring that laundry always moves forward and keeping clean linen completely separate from dirty linen. Minimizing laundry handling and the risk of contamination. In addition, doors cannot be opened simultaneously, further protecting hygiene and supporting maximum disinfection.
Automated Laundry Control
The advanced microprocessor control adapts to laundry needs, managing water levels, wash and spin cycles and chemical dosing. In addition, systems can integrate load weighing, water recovery and clean-area displays. PC connectivity allows easy programming and data exporting, ensuring efficient, reliable, hygienic washing for high-demand laundry environments.

How do barrier washers prevent mixing of clean and soiled linen?
Barrier washers ensure maximum hygiene by maintaining a strict one-way flow that keeps soiled and clean linen completely separate.
Soiled linen is loaded through the front door and clean linen is unloaded from the back.
Linen flows forward at all times, eliminating the risk of contamination.
In addition, both doors cannot be opened at the same time, minimizing operator handling.
Programmable washing parameters (time, temperature, chemical dosing) guarantee a fully hygienic wash cycle.
Optional multi-compartment designs allow batch sorting without mixing clean and soiled loads.
How does high extraction in barrier washers improve drying efficiency?
High extraction performance in barrier washers reduces residual moisture, shortening drying times and cutting energy usage.
High-efficiency extraction minimizes residual moisture, improving drying efficiency and reducing energy consumption
Additionally, the mechanical design and drum suspension reduce vibration while maintaining high-speed performance.
High-capacity models optimize both water extraction and energy savings.
Consistent extract performance ensures predictable drying results for all fabric types.
Can barrier washers reduce manual linen handling for operators?
Barrier washers reduce manual handling by automating drum rotation, door positioning and batch sorting, keeping clean and dirty linen fully separated.
Automatic drum rotation and door alignment ensure the washer is ready for reloading with minimal operator input.
Indicator lights and buzzers notify staff when cycles are complete, reducing constant monitoring.
Multi-compartment options allow sorting and unloading without extra handling.
Safety systems prevent doors from opening during cycles, maintaining hygiene and minimizing manual intervention.
One-way linen flow eliminates unnecessary contact between soiled and clean linen.
