Key System Components
Tunnel Washers
Girbau Industrial’s TBS-50 Batch Washer – available in five- to 12-modules, each with 110 pounds of capacity – processes more than 3,000 pounds of laundry per hour! The TBS-50 integrates seamlessly with loading and unloading conveyors, the SPR-50 Water Extraction Press and ST-100 Series Continuous Dryers. The TBS-50 is an extremely flexible tunnel washer configurable to the needs of any high-volume laundry.
Extraction Technology
The SPR-50 Water Extraction Press applies hydraulic pressure to laundry exiting the batch washer. In doing so, it efficiently presses up to 110 pounds of linen into a round laundry “cake” with a flat base. Water is extracted from the linen quickly and gently – significantly shortening subsequent dry time and improving laundry productivity. From the SPR-50 Press, linen travels on conveyors and is automatically loaded into dryers. The SPR-50 is appropriate for all linen types.
Conveyors
Girbau Industrial Shuttle Lifting Conveyors automatically move pressed “cakes” of laundry into up to six dryers. The Shuttle Lifting Conveyors – available to fit the specific needs of any high-volume laundry – feature one or two 43.3 x 50.4 inch loading tables capable of loading 220 pounds of laundry.
ST-Series Continuous Dryers
The ST-Series Dryers are engineered to unbind, condition and completely dry up to 298 pounds of linen per load, using less energy. They work seamlessly as part of the GI Continuous Wash System, or as a stand-alone dryers. Their robust heating system effectively circulates air through laundry while removing moisture inside the drum for a quicker dry. Each model offers Spirotilt technology for automated unloading without dryer tilting. Available in steam, natural gas or thermal fluid heat.
