Your Clean horse Rug is a sign of a well-kept horse, Washing rugs & blankets in a domestic washing machine will not achieve the desired result- it's a specialist job that requires the right commercial washing machine, below are a few tips to help you make the right selection.
Q What size washing machine will i require?
A Standard domestic machine is around 5-6kg load we would recommend around 10kg to 18kg load depending the size of rugs you are washing.
Q Do i need 3-phase (415 volts) electric to run a commercial washing machine?
A No most machines now can be modified to run from just 1-phase (240 volts).
Q Does the washing machine fit like a domestic one?
A The best location for your new commercial washing machine and dryer is a dry area with a good solid concrete floor , this will depend on the machine you select standard spin or high spin models, check with the machines installation instructions first as some machines can be located on a wooden floors.
Standard spin machines need bolting down to at least 300mm of concrete foundations via x 4/6 M16mm fixings.
High spin & soft mount machines can be totally free standing (but still ask as machines do vary)
Water connections – good pressure of hot & cold is ideal but cold supply only will do, however this will extend your cycle times on temperature washes as the machine will be heating form cold.
Drainage- most machines will be fitted with a gravity drain outlet and must be positioned higher than the main drain, this can be done via a steel floor mounting plinth, and the drain should be fitted with a trap (removable for cleaning purposes)
Q Do we deliver & Install commercial laundry equipment?
A Yes we offer a nationwide delivery & fitting service from £100
Q should I buy a new machine or a second hand one?
A New machines are good for those with higher budgets but most customers that we talk to about horse rug cleaning the first thing they tend to say is “I don’t care what it looks like as long as it’s reliable”. One thing in this industry that always makes me smile are those suppliers that don’t sell reconditioned machines they always say don’t buy second-hand!, However if you ask them how long there new machine would last that there selling 9 out of 10 suppliers will say 10 to 15yrs , so in my opinion if you buy a used machine that’s around 5 yrs old it should still be good for another 10yrs? (Do you not agree?) One thing is for sure, the good old saying “they don’t make things like they used to” is sadly so true- old machines are built much sturdier than new machines, and that’s a fact. We have been reconditioning commercial laundry equipment for many years, and we feel very confident in our production, and all our reconditioned machines come with a service back-up and warranty.
