We represent many high quality manufacturers, including the very reliable Dexter Washers and Dryers
that meet the high demands of on-premise laundries.
Dexter washers with 6-cycle flexible microprocessor controls are suitable, simple and reliable for most OPL applications providing optimum cleaning and drying of linen. Washers may be ordered with 100 G-force extraction, EXPRESS machines with 200 G-force extraction and EXPRESS PLUS with 300+ G force extraction.
Dexter O-Series Washers and Dryersdeliver total control. They utilize advanced technologies for maximum efficiency and throughput by utilizing fully programmable (up to 100 formulas and 20 programs) controls that offer detailed reporting to effectively manage your laundry room.
Dexter O-Series Washers are offered in EXPRESS machines with 200 G-force extraction and now in EXPRESS PLUS that achieves 300-400 G-force extraction and which removes more moisture, reducing dry time and increasing throughput.
This line up of O-series washer was recently expanded to include a soft mount line that allows this high extract along with the flexibilty of easier installation in areas where traditional hard mount washers can not be utilized. The soft mounts are currenlty availbale in 40 lb. and 60 lb. sizes.
Dexter O-Series Dryers provide added operating efficiencies to make your linen look better and last longer with moisture detection and fire mitigation technologies.
Why is Moisture Detection important?
Skilled laundry managers measure everything including utility costs, labor efficiency, and linen life cycle. The dryer plays a critical role in the efficiency of a laundry operation as unnecessary time spent in the dryer impacts all the above. Over drying is wasteful in: utilities, labor, damaged linens and reduced throughput.
Dexter’s PATENTED wireless sensing technology monitors the moisture content in the load and automatically stops when a desired level of dryness is reached, providing multiple benefits: better linen care and life, as well as, utility and labor savings. The added cost of employing MDS will pay for itself in less than 1-year in normal laundry applications.
Dexter O-Series Dryers also provide additional safety for your property with fire mitigation technologies.
Why is a Fire Response System important?
Dexter O-series dryers installed with “Fire Response System” (FRS) provides an additional layer of safety and security from fire risk (usually due to spontaneous combustion). FRS continually monitors the temperature inside the dryer drum, both during the cycle and well after it is complete. If an unexpected rise in temperature occurs, FRS activates to control a fire. An alarm immediately sounds on the dryer and a remote signal may be sent alerting staff. Water spray and dowse capabilities are available for added levels of safety and security.
