LAUNDRY CONVEYORS

Laundry conveyors are used in commercial and industrial laundry facilities to transport carts, bins, and bulk textile loads between processing stages. These systems support material movement through washing, drying, sorting, folding, and staging operations where reliability, cleanliness, and durability are required. Conveyor layouts are designed to manage continuous operation in environments exposed to moisture, heat, lint, and cleaning chemicals.

Conveyor designs for laundry applications prioritize structural strength and consistent motion while accommodating varying load types and handling methods. Open deck and heavy duty constructions are commonly used to reduce debris buildup and support frequent washdown or cleaning. Conveyors can be integrated with automated equipment or manual handling stations to support predictable flow throughout the facility.

Laundry conveyor systems are typically engineered as part of a coordinated material handling layout rather than standalone components. Speed control, load capacity, and conveyor configuration are selected based on process requirements, available floor space, and operator interaction. These systems help organize material movement while reducing manual transport between work areas.
