A Quick Guide to Inspecting Laundry Boilers

March 28, 2023

Commercial laundries have to utilise various equipment pieces so they can operate successfully. Some examples of equipment pieces these businesses utilise are washing machines, dryers, and other laundry-related appliances.

But one essential tool that commercial laundries should take advantage of is a laundry boiler. Laundry boilers are necessary for these establishments as they can continuously supply hot water and steam in ironers, fabric steamers, presses, dryers, and storage tanks. Hot water, after all, can make sure that clothes can be washed thoroughly. Using steam to dry, iron, and press clothes can likewise reduce wrinkles in various fabrics. 

As more washing machines and steam dryers are used, commercial laundries can rely on laundry boilers to give them enough supply of steam and hot water. Regular inspections and maintenance, therefore, should be done to keep them working. Here are some aspects of laundry boilers you might want to inspect.

Steam and Hot Water Quality

One aspect of laundry boilers that you should inspect is steam and hot water quality. As mentioned earlier, laundry boilers can help in generating not just only hot water but also steam. And if they can produce high-quality steam for your business, you can easily carry out services like drying, pressing, and ironing clothes. Their capability to generate high-quality hot water can then help you wash clothes effectively. Alternatively, the lack of high-quality steam and hot water may only yield dirty and wrinkly clothes, deterring customers from going back again.

Energy Output

If you are currently maximising laundry boilers, you must ensure that they only use the optimal amount of energy throughout their operations. Sometimes, businesses tend to let their equipment pieces run without checking their energy output. So, once they receive their utility bills, they may be surprised by how huge their energy consumption is. Inspecting the total energy use of laundry boilers can help you determine if they are efficient or not. If not, you now have the option to opt for one that is energy-efficient and eco-friendly.

Start-Up Times

Laundry boilers often have varying start-up times before they can fully work. Therefore, you must check if they can still carry out their operations within their set start-up times. Some can already work five minutes after they are first switched on, while others can only operate after a couple of hours. But if they go beyond their set start-up times, you may want to check their internal components for any signs of damage or issues. You can also ask for help from professionals who can get them fixed or recalibrated.

Upkeep Frequency

Inspecting your laundry boilers can be done by checking their internal components and their operating conditions. However, it can also be done by checking the upkeep frequency of the boilers. Knowing how often your laundry boilers are getting maintained can somehow determine if they are still in good condition or not. Once you find out they have missed their regular upkeep schedule, you might want to subject them to maintenance right away. You will never know if their parts can still work well or not.

Laundry boiler inspections can be done optimally if you will be accompanied by professionals. If you need help with their inspections, you can contact us at Fusion-Weld Engineering.
