3.4 Operating Techniques
Many factors are involved in producing the
best possible flatwork spreading and feeding.
These include:
Maximum Efficiency
Maximum Feeding Speed
Maximum Efficiency
Always follow site standards to avoid
repetitive motion injury.
Feed the flatwork into the unit from the
approximate center of the long edge of
the flatwork. Make sure there are no
folds in the flatwork.
On units with the optional Stain/Tear
Reject system, push the appropriate
button after the stained or torn flatwork
is spread out, and before it is laid down
onto the discharge ribbons.
When there is more than one operator
at the station, make sure that a slight
gap (3” to 6”) is left between the pieces
so the feeder can differentiate between
separate pieces of flatwork.
Always follow the posted standards for
the type of flatwork being processed.
NOTE: It is important to write
down the combination of washer/
extractor and spreader/feeder
settings that produce the best
quality finish for each type of
flatwork being processed. These
standards should be posted.
This removes “guesswork” from
the daily routine and maximizes
the efficiency and consistency
of the entire laundry operation.
Consistent washing, feeding, and
ironing habits are the key to quality
results.
