In industrial and trade workshops, heavily soiled work clothes are a daily reality. Jackets, pants, coveralls, and personal protective equipment regularly come into contact with metal dust, metal shavings, and oil and grease residues. These types of stains are particularly stubborn and place high demands on technology and the washing process. With high-performance industrial washing machines from STAHL, such textiles can be cleaned reliably, efficiently, and gently.
Special Requirements for Washing Work Clothes
Metal dust—tiny particles with a big impact
Metal dust is fine, often sharp-edged, and lodges deep within the fibers. Conventional washing machines quickly reach their limits when dealing with this. Industrial washing machines are designed to handle these conditions and reliably remove even the most stubborn particles.
Oil and grease residues from metalworking
In many facilities, lubricants, oils, and greases are also present. This combination requires robust technology, tailored wash cycles, and a high-performance water flow to reliably remove and rinse contaminants from the fabric.
Textile Protection and Laundry Technology
Optimized mechanics and controlled spin speeds ensure that work clothes are thoroughly cleaned without putting undue strain on the fabric or the machine.
Hygiene, Safety, and Comfort
Clean work clothes contribute to safety, employee comfort, and a professional appearance. Metal dust residue can cause skin irritation or impair the protective function of PPE.
Technical Requirements for Washing Machines
When using washing machines for work clothes soiled with metal, several factors play a crucial role. It is important to have sufficient capacity, tailored to the size of the operation, as well as a robust design. High-performance drainage and filtration systems ensure that metal particles are reliably removed and do not accumulate inside the machine. Individually programmable wash cycles allow for adaptation to different fabrics and levels of soiling. Automatic dosing systems also ensure the precise addition of the appropriate detergents. Last but not least, reliable service is crucial—STAHL machines are designed for continuous industrial use and feature a maintenance-friendly design.
Added Value for Industrial and Craft Businesses
A professional laundry solution for industry and trade offers clear advantages. Work clothes are cleaned directly on-site, which reduces downtime and external costs. At the same time, the lifespan of the textiles is extended while maintaining a consistently high standard of cleaning quality. Clean, well-maintained workwear improves comfort and enhances your company’s professional image. Thanks to STAHL’s robust technology, you also benefit from low operating costs and a reliable solution for daily use.
