Automated systems designed for high-volume textile processing utilize sophisticated technology to quickly and efficiently fold various items, including towels, sheets, and garments. These systems vary in size and complexity, from smaller units suitable for on-premise laundries in hotels or care facilities to large-scale equipment used by commercial laundry services.
Such automation offers significant advantages in professional laundry settings. Increased throughput, reduced labor costs, and consistent fold quality are chief among these. Historically, folding laundry has been a labor-intensive process. The advent of these systems represents a major advancement, freeing personnel for other tasks and improving overall operational efficiency. Furthermore, automated folding often leads to more compact and uniformly folded items, optimizing storage space and potentially reducing packaging material usage.
