Our customers turn to us to make their on-premise and industrial laundries more efficient and productive using fewer labor hours and natural resources, including gas, water and electricity. Every on-premise laundry requires a unique mix of equipment, layout and workflow. At Eagle Star, we understand the unique needs of fire departments, hospitals, hotels, resorts, nursing homes, B&Bs and beauty salons. Find your industry below and discover how Eagle Star might benefit your laundry operation!
> VACATION RENTALS
An on-premise laundry will likely save you significantly over sending linens out for cleaning. Our Continental washers reach up to 387 G-force, doubling that of most other front-load washers. The result? Our washers can cut dry time by as much as 50 percent. A shorter dry time also reduces wear and tear on linens and sheets. The automatic chemical injection process also eliminates the need to manually add chemicals and cuts down on human error, overuse, and the price of detergent. Drying tumblers and flatwork ironers are also available to dry and finish tablecloths, napkins and linens. Using proper equipment, linens can be fed directly from the washer to the ironer - without drying - cutting labor and utility costs and boosting laundry production.
> FIRE DEPARTMENTS
Contaminated protective gear exposes firefighters to potentially life-threatening chemicals, biological agents and particulate matter. Industry experts have agreed that highly programmable washer-extractors are key to washing gear correctly and in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). After all, dirty gear is a health hazard. Our Continental washer-extractors come equipped with automatic chemical injection, dispensing the right type and amount of detergents with every wash, and programmable extract-speeds; both features make for a more effective decontamination process without damage to protective fabrics. Finally, our laundry equipment is designed for easy installation in a truck bay, utility room or storage area.
> HEALTH CARE FACILITIES
Production is key when equipping a laundry in a nursing home, clinic or hospital. How about extra rinses for heavily soiled sheets, towels and bed pads? Our Continental washers have extract speeds that top out at up to 387-G force, cutting dry time by as much as 50 percent. Automatic chemical injection ensures the right cleaning chemicals and softeners are used at the appropriate water temperatures and cycles. Continental washers are also highly programmable with 79 program selections - 20 pre-programmed options and 59 user-programmable options; creating a guaranteed clean! Our Continental washers help facilities cut utility costs, gas consumption and labor, while maximizing production.
> HOTELS/MOTELS
If you are sending linens and towels out for cleaning, you are throwing money out the window. An on-premise laundry gives hotels control over the wash process and inventory. Moreover it is less expensive. The extract speed of our Continental washers is double that of most frontload washers, cutting dry time by as much as 50 percent. A shorter dry time also reduces wear and tear on linens and sheets while simultaneously cutting labor and utility costs. The automatic chemical injection process also eliminates the need to add chemicals manually - cutting down on overuse and detergent waste. Continental drying tumblers and flatwork ironers are also available to perfectly finish tablecloths, napkins and linens. Using Continental ironers and washers, linens can be fed directly from the washer to the ironer - without drying - dramatically boosting laundry production.
> BED AND BREAKFASTS
We understand that saving water, electricity and gas is critical to running a profitable B&B. Our Continental washers use nearly 50 percent less water than most top-load machines - significantly reducing sewer and water heating costs. B&Bs dependent on holding tanks or septic systems can cut wastewater considerably, and in doing so, save on wastewater removal fees and prevent septic overloading. Continental's bolt-free, freestanding design does not require a concrete foundation and easily fits into the spot your less efficient machine occupied.
> DAIRY FARMS
Properly cleaning dairy towels may help lower bacteria and contaminates such as Somatic Cell Counts in milk, leading to healthier cows and larger premiums from milk processors. Healthier cows mean a huge savings on vet bills and antibiotics but can also mean huge kick-backs from milk processors for low SCC. Realizing that productivity is key, Continental washers offer extract speeds of up to 387-G force - cutting dry time by as much as 50 percent. Automatic chemical injection capabilities ensure dairy towels are consistently cleaned - at the right temperature and with the correct chemicals to eliminate bacteria every time. The freestanding design means our Continental washers can be installed in unconventional locations without concrete foundations and bolts.
> CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES
Correctional Facilities have a myriad of concerns when it comes to doing laundry, including inmate safety, inventory and fabric longevity and productivity. Our Continental laundry equipment is gentle on inventory such as blankets and sheets; programmable to handle a variety of items, including inmates' personals and rugged mop heads; and is equipped to handle hundreds of pounds of incoming laundry each day. Since inmates often operate the laundry equipment, our Continental equipment is easy to use and offers lock-out safety features.
> PERSONAL FABRICARE
A growing percentage of items funneled through progressive drycleaning/fabricare facilities are now wetcleaned-often with superior results over traditional methods. Wetcleaning is not only less labor intensive than drycleaning, it's safer. It is an effective option for cleaning suedes, leathers, silks, cottons and more… We recommend Continental's wetcleaning machines with programmability offering fill levels and temperature, chemical injection capabilities and multiple extract speeds.
> INDUSTRIAL LAUNDRIES
Our Continental laundry equipment is packed with features designed to improve productivity, simplify the wash process and turnout a consistent, quality result with each wash; perfect for industrial laundries. Our washers are equipped with automatic chemical injection, high-speed extract and optimum programmability. All create a more productive laundry while lowering energy and labor costs.
> SALONS AND SPAS
By replacing your old top-load washers with our Continental EnergyStar-qualified Washer-Extractors, spas and beauty salons consume less water and gas, complete laundry in less time and cut the time it takes to process laundry. Our unmatched Continental high-speed extract washers can save over 20 gallons per load in comparison to most toploads, and cut dry time by nearly 50 percent. In turn you increase your laundry production and decrease utility costs.
> ATHLETIC FACILITIES
Our highly efficient Continental washer-extractors are perfect for tackling any cleaning job, and in the process, they cut utility and labor expenses and dramatically improve laundry productivity. We understand that most athletic operations are concerned with improving laundry production and properly washing a variety of items thoroughly and consistently. In other words, game-day uniforms are sharp, clean and consistent in color. Our washers, with high programmability, automatic chemical injection and high-speed extract are critical to a consistent wash every time.
