Prisons create large volumes of on-premise laundry—OPL—including bed sheets, towels, blankets, and inmates’ clothing. Their ability to process large volumes of dirty laundry to create clean linen and clothing efficiently is critical. Clean and sterile laundry in prisons needs to be readily available at all times to minimize the spread of germs that can exist in close living quarters.

Consolidated Laundry Machinery—CLM—supplies OPL laundry equipment & services on a global basis for prison laundry solutions. Our laundry services and equipment provide prisons with quality, durability, and operating efficiency.

CLM’s dryers' industrial strength and long life make them a perfect fit for on-premise prison laundry facilities and other institutions. Compared with other brands that last 7-10 years, CLM dryers stand up to 30+ years of use, causing less disruption in the secure prison system environment.

Various Benefits of OPL Laundry Equipment

Prison laundries appreciate CLM’s OPL laundry equipment for many reasons, including:

  • Ceramic-coated panels on CLM’s laundry equipment are more resistant to abrasion than standard coatings.
  • The easy-to-remove panels make the cleaning process more straightforward.
  • Removable ceramic-coated basket panels for keeping plastics from sticking to the basket.

When plastic adheres to the dryer basket, it reduces airflow, increasing drying time and energy use.

Safe and Easy to Use

With inmates often operating on-premise laundry equipment, safety and ease of use are essential. CLM builds on-premise laundry equipment that includes lock-out safety features, automatic chemical injection, and programmable controls. Their equipment is reliable, durable, safe, and simple to use and maintain.

Cost-Effective

Prison budgets today are tight and heavily monitored. So, finding cost-effective OPL laundry equipment for prison laundry is essential. CLM’s laundry equipment includes the latest energy-saving features to reduce natural gas and water consumption, reducing your utility costs. Standard features include high extraction speeds, heat reclamation, and water reuse that ensures your laundry is processed in less time and at lower prices.

Environmentally Friendly

CLM has recently introduced The Tumble Green dryer series into their product line. These dryers are available in the same models and sizes as their standard gas-heated dryers. In addition, this series of eco-friendly dryers incorporate a Low NOx burner as standard equipment, which makes them highly efficient while generating low emissions.

All of the CLM Low NOx dryer models are available with removable ceramic-coated panels. Additionally, they have PLC controls, efficient modulating burners, and cross-axis airflow.

Clm understands the many challenges of prison laundry. With our extensive manufacturing and corrections industry experience, we can help you select the right laundry solution for your institution. Contact us today to speak with a prison laundry expert and receive a no-obligation quote.
