To avoid exposing employees to potentially infectious laundry, the automatic soil sort with robots is crucial. Especially in healthcare laundries. Robots cannot suffer from Covid-19; human beings can.

While robots doing laundry was once an idea only for futuristic sci-fi movies, that future is now realized by dozens of laundries around the world.

This loyal JENSEN customer, processing 100% hospitality linen, has been investing in Inwatec soil sorting flat linen automation in the last months.

In 2018, the JENSEN-GROUP acquired a participation of 30% in Inwatec ApS, a Danish company that manufactures high-end heavy-duty laundry products.

It’s a big step for each laundry to move from manual soil sort to automatic soil sort in garment laundries. Such a decision cannot be taken lightheartedly.

Quite recently, Ronny Belmans of the Belgian laundry Clova was called by a young woman who was very upset. Working for one of the hospitals that the Clova laundry serves, the young doctor had put her necklace into her coat pocket the day before.

Ammunition, such as cartridge cases for rifles and pistols, the famous Swiss Army knife, padlocks and occasionally a lighter that was forgotten in a sleeping bag – all of these foreign objects do not belong in the washing process.

And if you don’t, you shouldn’t worry.
