RIPON, WIS.—UniMac, a provider of on-premise laundry equipment, introduces the UW45 and UW65 hardmount washer-extractors. The UW45 and UW65 include features that help increase throughput, while offering a low cost of ownership. They are designed to handle double the spinning force of commercial washer-extractors, as well as the largest and most out of balance loads, resulting in less downtime and a longer machine life—allowing on-premises laundry managers to focus on what they do best.
“These new machines allow on-premises laundries to clean more loads per day, which will help lower operating expenses by reducing employee overtime, dry times and utility costs,” said Bill Brooks, national sales manager for UniMac. “Our customers are the focus of all new product development, which is why we’ve built new machines to help contribute to their successes.”
The new capacities of the machines allow laundry operators to increase their load size, which helps improve employee and work efficiencies.
Built to Handle Heavier Loads
UniMac’s UW45 and UW65 have a modern industrial appearance that offers a sleek design, differentiating the machines from others on the market. The new drive shaft assembly has cylindrical front and spherical rear bearings designed to handle heavier loads and have a longer life than traditional ball bearings. The larger shaft diameter is built to be 200 percent stronger than cabinet hardmount shafts, demonstrating the machine can work harder for longer periods of time.
A taller frame with a 28-inch cart clearance and elevated drain height provides improved ergonomics for end users. The new dimensions also help reduce owners’ overall costs by eliminating the need for an elevated base and offers ease of use for employees.
The machines feature a 400 G-Force extraction speed—the fastest G-Force currently available on the market—resulting in maximum water removal. The extraction speed helps keep laundries running at optimal efficiency by reducing drying times and contributing up to hundreds of dollars in savings per year.
Additional features include:
• A spray rinse that fills 200 percent quicker than other machines in the industry, allowing users to do more in less time;
• The new door has been standardized to open from the right and is paired with a proven roll pin/cam lock system to ensure smooth opening and closing while eliminating the door unlock control button; and
• Ease of installation due to the 34.24” width of the machine, which allows it to easily fit through a 36” commercial doorway.
The UniLinc control is also available on this machine. The control system has features such as maintenance reminders and monitoring of error codes and idle time, helping to ensure the laundry is processed as efficiently as possible. The programmable delayed start feature allows laundry to be given a 30-minute head start before employees arrive, saving managers labor costs.
