Laundry Equipment Design

The OPL Group supply a laundry design service for a range of different industries. The first step when considering commercial laundry is to design a system that meets all your businesses needs. The options available for hotels or restaurants differ in both scale and equipment choice from a hospital or care home.

To ensure success or gain longer-term profit, align your business with OPL’s laundry design professionals. We can assist you at each stage of your businesses project with a number of time-saving design and 3D planning tools.

You are fully included in the process with a free initial survey, preliminary drawings, a utility schedule, construction drawings, and a feasibility / Operating analysis to conclude costs and expected output.

1. Preliminary Drawings

• Concepts of what you would like your laundry facility to look like
• Room dimensions, window and door locations
• M & E illustrations can be provided
• Accessory options, incoming utility lines
• Equipment mix, washers, dryer, finishing equipment
• 3D visualisation visualise your project showing equipment positions to scale
• Access options

2. Utility Schedules

Having decided on the balance of washers to dryers / finishing, The OPL Group recommend creating a utility schedule. This allows us to determine the required energy needs and other utility requirements. These include electrical, gas, exhaust/venting (make up air), water and drainage. It also includes removing and and disposing of old washers and dryers.

3. Construction Drawings

Details can make all the difference! Our drawings will assist any architect or builder who is required to make construction or build changes. This can include:

• Equipment elevations
• Foundation specifications
• Utility / energy requirements for the equipment

With this information in hand, your architect/builder can reduce their turnaround time significantly, reducing disruption of service.  The OPL Group can supply and fit, for example, all inter pipework between finishing equipment;  including steam, condense, blowdown, traps and air and all required thermal insulation.

4. Feasibility / Operating Analysis

We examine the cost per pound to process laundry. From this report, The OPL Group can determine the exact equipment mix for your laundry facility. Our  analysis clearly identifies the impact of equipment performance on the most significant cost (ie labour and utilities).

Our focus is complete customer satisfaction
