Truck collects soiled linen from the hospital
Dirty Linen Collection
Soiled linen is collected from the hospital and transported to the industrial laundry facility
Dirty Linen Sorting
Soiled linen is sorted hospital wise in various categories such as flat work [bed-linen, pillow covers, blankets, etc.], garments [gowns, scrubs, aprons], Operating theatre linen, etc. Special care is taken to collect the infected linen directly in water soluble bags with no human contact till it is washed.
Washing
Linen is washed in Tunnel Washers & Barrier Washer-Extractors in various stages.
Customised chemicals and detergents are used at appropriate temperature for appropriate duration to achieve high quality disinfection and maintain the colour and quality of the fabric.
Further rinsing-cycles ensure that all chemicals used in the washing process are completely removed.
Drying
After washing, each batch of laundry is dried at high temperatures over 85ºC for up to 45 minutes which constitutes an integral part of disinfection.
Ironing, Folding, Packaging & Dispatch
Dedicated machines for flat linen and garments provide a further level of automation, ensuring uniformly ironed and folded clothes in every batch.
Regular thermo-chemical and microbial analysis is done for quality assurance.
All linen and garments are packaged in a special biodegradable packaging material. Every pack of a standard size is automatically labelled with packaging information and the client name to whom it is to be delivered.
After off-loading dirty linen, our trucks are completely disinfected before clean linen is loaded in disinfected trolleys.
