Last few days things were basically down to two bidders up against each other. Someone new came in at last few minutes and copped the lot for $2,400 USD Sure hope those units don't have issues, winning bidder's CC will be charged at once for final hammer price plus BP, and that will be that...

Those extractors (centrifuges) in laundries were long a danger even when just used by industrial or commercial establishments. After some poor wee lad had his arm ripped off by a Bock extractor that was it far as laundromats were concerned. Many either took the things out an or disabled them...

Am no expert but do not believe immersion heating elements (shown in picture) can be swapped in as replacement for convector type. Will give you that convectors usually are nothing more than one or series of tubes surrounded by fins, but that's the thing isn't it? Fins are there to create and...

Steam has greater heating capacity than hot water. You see this in difference between convectors or radiators used for hydronic (hot water) heating versus steam. Those for former must be larger or more of them than when latter is used. Dryer design will only accommodate radiators/convectors...

Congrats! You'll be taking in washing by this time next year! *LOL* Need to add a mangle to your collection to make professional suite complete.

Motors and electronics on modern laundry and dishwashing appliances consume very little energy. Big draws on juice comes from heaters, especially resistance heating. Basically anything that adds or removes heat (such as AC or refrigeration) uses good to large amounts of energy. One quibble...

Vintage Apex h-axis washer complete with wringer. https://hibid.com/lot/260277965/apex-electric-washer?ref=lot-list Capacity seems likely less than Thor Cylinder washers, but still proves what was out there in early part of prior century. That is taking a page from laundries domestic washing...

Gosh! From a few bucks to nearly $3k with about a day left of bidding. Hope didn't cause any hurt feelings by listing this auction causing someone to miss out .

Anyone? https://hibid.com/lot/262945021/miele-washer-and-dryer-?ref=lot-list Seriously considered going for this set, but just don't have space to spare. It has been made clear as it is things need moving on, not adding to one's "collection", so that's me for you.

Interesting, best of luck! But where are you going to find 400v power to run those washers?

Keep in mind there are "professional" laundry products and also "commercial/institutional", and there can be a difference. Professional P&G offerings same as with those from Henkel generally are geared for OPL, home style washers (top loaders) and so forth. These products tend to have milder pH...

IIRC Tide "Professional" powder is rated for temps low as 95F which is par for course since it does contain an activated oxygen bleaching system with TAED (P&G has discontinued using NOBS). https://pgpro.com/en-us/brands/tide-professional/powder-detergent As for other versions of Tide powder...

You're not missing that much with Ecolab Royal Brite. Yes, it's more concentrated which equals less per pound of laundry used, but formula otherwise isn't that much different than top shelf powder detergents such as Tide or Persil (Henkel)...

P&G does not do private label products, well not in USA anyway that one knows of.

Thing is about these inexpensive powdered laundry detergents is they often are heavy on washing soda, zeolites, sodium sulfate and other bits that don't always dissolve fully. This more so if local water has various levels of higher end of hardness scale, and or many loads done in cool or cold...
