The central laundry
industry has grown in North America to a point where material handling, moving, sanitizing
and storage of hospital, industrial, and laundry carts has
become of serious concern. The thousands
of carts that pass through major central laundries has grown significantly, making old
cart sanitizing "booths" unable to cope with the volume. The big problem is not
only the processing of these carts , but the personnel required to load/unload the booth
type machines. In 1985Pioneer was approached by London Linen Services
to help solve their cart handling problems.
This is when the Pioneer
Cart Handler was developed. Designed to transport, wash sanitize and dry fleets of
laundry and hospital carts of all shapes and sizes.
Our system involves a wash tunnel and a
conveyor (overhead or in ground) to wash, sanitize and dry the carts ready for reloading
and shipping. The Cart Handler can process upwards of 90 carts per hour.
That's one every 45 seconds !
Pioneer also manufactures stationary or cubicle style systems for lower volume
applications.
