In aged care, laundry isn’t just a back-of-house operation - it’s a frontline defence for infection control, resident dignity, and operational continuity. At Total Commercial Equipment, we understand the unique pressures aged care facilities face, and we’re here to help deliver dependable, compliant, and efficient laundry solutions.
Why Primus?
Primus commercial laundry machines deliver industry-leading performance, energy efficiency, and hygiene compliance - tailored to health-focused environments. Our Medical Barrier Washer-Extractors physically separate clean and soiled zones, meeting Australian Standard AS 4146 and minimising infection risks with every cycle.
Key challenges in Aged Care laundry and how we solve them:
Infection control compliance:
Strict hygiene protocols demand equipment that goes beyond domestic or light commercial standards. Our solutions help meet:
- Aged care accreditation requirements
- AS 4146 infection control standards
- Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) best practices
With barrier washers and temperature-controlled disinfection cycles, we ensure every load meets audit standards.
Rising energy and water costs:
Our high G-force soft-mount washers (350–500 G) drastically cut drying times and water usage - reducing utility bills and preserving linen quality. Designed to operate efficiently they’re ideal for regional and remote care settings.
High volume operations:
From personal items to high volumes of linen, the demands are relentless. We offer machine capacities from compact to 120 kg, ensuring equipment scales with your throughput needs and layout.
Preventative Maintenance to avoid downtime:
Laundry downtime in aged care can disrupt care schedules, increase infection risk, and create unnecessary stress for staff. Our tailored preventative maintenance plans reduce breakdowns, improve lifespan, and protect compliance.
Our service plans include:
- Scheduled maintenance and health checks
