Commercial / Industrial Laundry

[toggleswitch]

I got a chance to see this building again. Within is a business that is a commercial laundry that washes linens for major Mahattan hotels.

Like everything else in Manhattan you must get on line for entry. (Yes in NYC it's "on line" ; elswhere in the country it's "in line"!)

This must be an interesting place.

The sidewalk is marked for a 36 inch / 90cm gas main!

This is the way we wash the clothes.......

Thanks

Looks like a busy place.

That Unimac Daniels (just below ceiling height)... How many lbs does that hold ? My guess is 75-100 lbs ? Eddie

36" gas line for a single place-wonder about that-that would feed a CITY!Wonder if the gas line size is 3.6".

Thanks for the tour Steve!! Sure did enjoy it!
Yes, "this is the way we wash the clothes" WITH 3PHASE!!!!
Did you see any tunnel washers?

The Unimacs in the 4th picture are the UF series 18LB? machines and are softmount-> thus for the bigger frame opening around the door.

Eddie:
Daniels is probably the distributor, or installer of the bigger machines. In the picture of the machine just below ceiling height there are 2 machines. The machine that the picture is focused on probably has a capacity in the ~150 LB. range and the other machine that is taller, with a bigger door and lower hanging drum is probably 250LB. capacity. They ARE MASSIVE machines. Both of these machines are softmount and probably either the UF or UX series Unimac-Alliance machines. (I try not to be very versed with Alliance machines) Either way, they are nice machines-> just looking at them in the pictures makes me WANT one!
