IT’S MATHS! You don’t believe that these figures add up, do you? But our thinking is absolutely rational, as arithmetic. Consider a 25m2 laundry: would you have ever guessed that it could be ample enough to manage until 100 kg of clean, dry and perfectly ironing linen per day? Moreover it’s a zero emission solution!
N
ow, take into account the distance parameter: wash, dry and iron the linen far away from the place where it was dirtied and where it will be reuse, could compromise the hygienic effect reached by the professional treatment as well as have a negative influence on the wellness of our Planet. Have you ever thought about how much CO2 the transport of linen (clean and dirty) can generate? The only solution, to avoid these problems, is to create an indoor laundry service, where everything is under control: hygiene, quality, performance, costs and, of course, environmental sustainability.

DON’T AIR YOUR DIRTY LAUNDRY IN PUBLIC Between folk wisdom and marketing tips
A
proverb was never more timely and incisive offering, beyond the conventional wisdom, also a substantial advice to improve your business. For our grandparents “don’t air you dirty laundry in public” meant simply resolve the private matters with discretion, between the domestic walls, without involving strangers to the family; contextualized within the laundry sector, this proverb suggests to keep under control the entire phases of the linen processing. Managing the process is, indeed, the key to getting the best results not only in terms of production capacity, but also from the point of view of quality, durability of linen, and respect of hygienic standards, everything at the lowest cost possible. And what about the considerable reduction of the CO2 produced? An indoor laundry is also eco-friendly. Have you ever thought about how much carbon dioxide produces the transport of dirty and clean linen?
Who pays for the service? C
reating an internal laundry service is often perceived as a costly choice for different reasons: dedicated spaces, plants, machinery costs, staff training, decay of supply, complication of the normal duties of the employees because it’s an activity unrelated to the core business. Actually, if you choose smart equipment, programmed during the installation phase, that don’t require anything else than upload the dirty linen and press the START button, many of these issues, such as the staff training, get into the right perspective. Even the detergent dosage is not a burden anymore thanks to our modern automated systems. If the obstacle is the initial outlay, consider that the internal management of the linen treatment can quickly recover the investment, ensuring at the same time the direct control over the quality and the versatility.
You don’t need to be an expert to understand that is worthwhile! I
s an indoor laundry really favourable? Process control is so crucial? And what about costs? Ensuring the quality of the result, monitoring directly the process
and its versatility, are three fundamental factors that guarantee the effective management of the textiles treatment. If the benefits of an indoor laundry are immediately clear even to those who doesn’t work in this sector, the next three points further confirm them.
Taylor made service. An indoor laundry offers a customized service in which there isn’t the risk to pay neither too much nor too little (with high probability to loss quality). Oversimplifying, it means that you pay only for what you actually use and nothing more. On the following pages we’ll discover this important aspect in detail.

he process is completely automatic. Washing and drying phases are now fully automated, even for the dosage of detergents. It isn’t necessary detract your employees from other activities to control the machines, nor particularly skilled figures are required: just read the name of the program on the display and press START. Regarding ironing, finally, we guarantee speed, superior quality and ease of use. Need anything else?
T
he cost of washing, drying and ironing treatments is competitive because you wash only the dirty items and, especially, use the resources in according to the type of dirt to be treated: in other words it’s a pay-peruse solution, without fees or minimum quantities. Each season has its cost.

ALL GOOD THINGS COME IN THREES What is the point of having good washing and drying phase without a perfect ironing?

THE TABLE WITH THE RIGHT FOLD A complete range of equipment
Ironing is the latest and perhaps the most delicate phase of the textile treatment, so if it isn’t perfect can compromise the entire process: it should be flawless, smooth and without defects because the quality of ironing can be seen, but above all, touched. For this reason, this phase requires the continuous presence of the operator and, therefore, equipment not only efficient but also ergonomic to guarantee high comfort. Don’t forget that fabrics can be different for types and sizes: this requires additional flexibility. Grandimpianti has solved the challenge with some innovative solutions and modularity, using the right materials, such as the extruded and anodized aluminium. This material allows achieving perfect and durable ironing surfaces, even at high temperatures, and results without compromises. The range of our equipment consists of flatwork ironers with different diameters, lengths and types of coverage, to best meet any production needs. They are designed to combine multiple ironing surfaces, providing large ironing components big up to the double of standard size that allow easily and quickly handling also of large linen.
Since 1997, Grandimpianti I.L.E. has decided to invest on roller ironers developing various patents and guaranteeing outstanding performance, both in terms of mechanical and thermal results, increasing the perception of the professional quality in ironing. Grandimpianti has been able to value this phase of the textile treatment process using pure materials, perfect surfaces, controlled temperatures, soft and breathable roller pads capable of taking care of the tissues. So our equipment guarantees a perfect ironing of linen from every point of view. Grandimpianti professional ironing machines dedicated to flat linen are associated by a series of innovative technical solutions that put them at the top of the products available in the market. They are equipped with electronic control (with adjustable PID temperature), ironing plate made of anodized aluminium, heating elements integrated on the profile of straightening plate, intake fumes systems and adjusting speed rotation of the roller.

THE COLLECTIVE AND COMPLETE ANSWER TO THE HYGIENE AND CLEANLINESS ISSUES Three families of products designed to combine in an effective and modular way the peculiarities of each machines with the uniformity of their language and performance.
A
iming to win the battle for cleanliness and hygiene and responding to the needs of different type of customers, we have developed an integrated system of products (washing machines, tumble dryers and ironers) who speak the same language: the user’s one. Products that know how to communicate effectively and positively to each other, ensuring optimal performance. Three families of products in which uniformity and modularity are the key concepts.
GWH (Grandimpianti I.L.E. High spin): high spin washing machine;
Y
GB (Grandimpianti I.L.E. Barrier washer): high spin barrier washing machine;
ou can find the uniformity even in their names. Our products, indeed, have the initial G followed by a letter indicating the family they belong to. A simple, fast and functional way to make the product easily recognizable:
GWM (Grandimpianti I.L.E. Medium spin): medium spin washing machine with G4-Wiz® control; GWN (Grandimpianti I.L.E. Normal spin): normal spin washing machine with G4-Wiz® control;
GDZ (Grandimpianti I.L.E. Entry level): the entry level dryer with G-Wiz® control; S (Grandimpianti I.L.E. Ironers): the world of ironing.
T
hese models differ from each other in functionality, but are similar in their fundamental aspects. Products that share the same type of electronic control, which can be combined into a single module forming an integrated team, extremely easy to handle for the operator, whether he is, user or maintainer. A further competitive advantage of these products is the energy efficiency, crucial point of their design and creation process.
T
he concept of contamination between technologies has allowed us, indeed, to implement ideas and solutions from other areas, transferring and using them into a new solution tailored to the laundry sector. As the patent DWS for linen weighing or the introduction of the extruded and anodized aluminium plate in our ironers, allowing significant savings of time and energy.
