Industrial Laundry Press Machines

An industrial laundry press is a textile water extraction machine that removes excess moisture from laundry using high pressure. By lowering residual moisture before drying, it reduces energy consumption, shortens processing times, and boosts productivity throughout the washing process.

A laundry press applies direct pressure to the load, removing significantly more water than a spin extractor that relies on high-speed rotation. This results in drying that is up to 30 % faster, with lower energy consumption and gentler treatment of fabrics.

Girbau offers industrial laundry press machines designed for different capacities and operational needs:

• PRT60: 60-second turbo cycle, up to 33 % more productivity, and energy savings of up to 2.5 kWh per load.
• SPR50: 50 kg capacity, adjustable pressure up to 40 bar, and dual-pump water recovery system.

Laundry press machines are essential in high-volume industrial laundries that operate tunnel batch systems. By integrating into the workflow, they ensure a faster, more cost-efficient, and more sustainable process from start to finish.

In laundries using tunnel batch systems, the press must operate at the same throughput rate as the tunnel. If the press is slower, it creates bottlenecks that disrupt the entire production line. For this reason, presses such as the PRT60 or the SPR50 are designed for continuous, uninterrupted flow, ensuring maximum efficiency, productivity, and textile care.

These industrial pressing machines reduce energy consumption by removing most of the water before items reach the dryer. In addition, by recovering and reusing extracted water within the tunnel batch system, they help lower both water and electricity costs — improving profitability and sustainability across the entire laundry operation.
