A collaboration has been announced between British commercial laundry detergent formulation experts Ideal Manufacturing and ozone technology specialists Laundry Efficiency.
The partnership will see the two companies come together to develop products and services which can alleviate some of the challenges laundry owners are facing, such as rising energy and staffing costs.
Dr. Mike Kalli said: “We are beginning to see significant benefits with the application of Ozone in conjunction with the right chemistry that we are very confident will enable commercial laundries to achieve the highest quality processing, whilst helping them to achieve new levels of energy, water, time and labour savings. This is coupled with prolonged linen life and enhanced handle of textiles.
“It will also mark a decline in the use of aggressive oxidising chemicals, which reduces the impact on linen and the environment. We’re very excited by the results achieved during field tests and look forward to announcing further information as our young team of development chemists, engineers and field chemists continue to work closely with the Laundry Efficiency team to optimise the performance of ozone technology for British commercial laundry.”
Colin Oakley, Managing Director of Laundry Efficiency, added: “We wanted to build a partnership with chemical experts who focus, like we do, on reducing the cost of laundry production and helping laundry owners who’ve been hit hard with increased utility and staffing costs over the last 12-18 months.
“We have enjoyed working with the team at Ideal and are looking forward to building a solid partnership going forward, to help laundry owners get back control of their laundry”
Ideal are confident that this new solution, based on the deployment of Ozone within the water supply, will enable considerable benefits. Ongoing research and field testing is underway to quantify, validate and prove any claims that can be made of the new system, such as water, energy and cost savings, longer linen life, optimised labour utilisation, eco sustainability, as well as no longer needing heat recovery or water reclamation systems.
