Summer can mean more guests, more laundry, and more pressure on your commercial laundry operation. For laundromats, accommodation providers, caravan parks, aged-care facilities, and hospitality businesses, keeping equipment running reliably during periods of increased demand is essential.
Before the summer rush arrives, take a few minutes to check that your Primus laundry equipment is ready to perform at its best.
- Is your Commercial Laundry Equipment due for a Service?
The best time to identify potential problems is before they become breakdowns.
A pre-summer service can help identify wear, build-up, or other issues that could affect equipment performance when your laundry is working harder.
Check that:
- Washers and dryers are operating normally.
- Dryer lint filters and exhaust systems are clean and clear.
- Door seals, hoses, and connections are in good condition.
- Equipment is draining, filling, and heating correctly.
- Any unusual noises, vibrations, or longer cycle times are investigated.
Tip: If something does not seem quite right, do not wait for it to become a bigger problem.
- Do you have the right Spare Parts on hand?
When your laundry is busy, even a small equipment issue can quickly become a disruption.
Having access to the right Primus Spare Parts can help minimise downtime and get equipment back into operation sooner.
Not sure which parts you should keep on hand? Our service and spare parts team can help you identify the parts relevant to your Primus equipment.
- Is your Preventative Maintenance up to date?
Do not wait for a machine to stop working before giving it some attention.
A simple maintenance routine can help keep your equipment performing reliably throughout the busy season.
Your summer Maintenance Checklist
Daily:
- Clean dryer lint filters
- Check equipment for leaks or unusual noises
- Keep washer doors open when not in use, where appropriate
Weekly:
- Check door seals and hoses
- Inspect equipment for signs of wear or damage
- Keep surrounding areas clean and free from lint and debris
Regularly:
- Arrange professional servicing
- Check chemical dosing systems
- Review equipment performance and identify recurring issues
- Replace worn components before they become a problem
- Review your Commercial Laundry Equipment selection
Increased demand during the summer months can put extra pressure on your laundry equipment. If your machines are regularly running at capacity or struggling to keep up, it may be time to review your current equipment setup.
Consider the following:
- Do you have enough washer and dryer capacity for peak periods?
- Is your current machine mix suited to your typical load sizes?
- Are older machines becoming less efficient or more costly to maintain?
- Would adding capacity or upgrading equipment improve your operation?
Whether you are replacing an existing machine, expanding your laundry, or setting up a new operation, selecting the right equipment for your needs can make a real difference to performance and efficiency.
