Stefab Genuine Parts It is the precision and quality of the spare parts, which make the machines efficient, durable and successful.

Original Laundry is utility and a halt in a need is not a pleasant scenario, therefore we bring to you a platform to choose from the entire range of authentic parts. These parts are the exact same parts that are built into the machines in our factory. There is absolutely no difference between an original & a spare part.

These spare parts are available locally as well and may cost less initially, but they are not engineered specifically for Stefab machines. Often they need to be replaced and can damage other parts and affect the performance of our machines. One has to be careful and it is always best to install authentic parts.

Original Parts are easier to install, their performance is better and they last much longer therefore reducing the maintenance costs and downtimes.

Quality The quality of genuine parts cannot be compared to the parts available locally. Stefab has been producing laundry machines for over 40 years. Every component in the machine has the highest level of R&D and technical expertise behind it.

Extensive Warranty Stefab's genuine parts offer a complete one-year warranty & on the other hand, local parts have not more than 30-60 day warranty. Our service engineers and distributors are fully trained on the installation of the replacement parts. Our customers can have complete assurance on the performance of the machines upon implementation of original service & spares.

Online PortalStefab's spares are available on an exclusive online portal. All Stefab customers can create their individual profiles and manage their setup with a click of a button. This system ensures 100% authenticity in spares & service quality, enhancing the life of the machines.

What should you look for in a washer-extractor? Ease of operation

The washer-extractor you select should have easy & automatic controls that make operation simple and free the operator to handle other tasks. With Stefab's advance computer display (ST9), the operator simply chooses the program as per the type of Load, then pushes a button. Programs on the alpha- numeric display can be named to match items, making selection easy. Because

so little judgment is required, new employees get the understanding quickly. Substitute employees can take over with ease, as well.

Operational Quality Washing flexibility should not be sacrificed for operational simplicity. Only a commercial washer-extractor, with professional tumble washing action, can properly clean stained linen. Stefab's Three-Beater with a large basket diameter design enhances the tumbling action, therefore increasing the level of cleaning, thus providing the lift & drop action necessary to clean hard-to-launder items. When comparing machines, compare actual cylinder dimensions along with the door size. A bigger door is always beneficial for easy loading & unloading.

Also, look for microprocessor controls which give a greater range of processing choices as well as more accurate control over how the load is processed. The pre-programmed formulas in Stefab machines were developed specifically for the needs of healthcare facilities. They are not standard formulas. The formulas differ in number, type, time & temperature of cycles, as well as detergent supply injection. By pushing a few buttons, these formulas can be adjusted for different types of loads.

Solid Construction Strong construction from top quality materials is important if you expect long-term use. Check competitive brands to see if their construction stands up to Stefab specifications. Compare specification charts; there can be a big difference in quality.

Stefab machines stand apart from others with features like:Ÿ Large, tapered roller bearings and a triple shaft seal to shield the bearings from water.Ÿ The simplicity and dependability of heavy duty, single-speed motors.Ÿ Pre-extract load balancing speed to reduce vibration and extend machine life.

Introduction to Commercial Laundry

Commercial Laundry today, is one of the most discussed subjects when it comes to the service industry.

In developing nations such as India, the subject is extremely important and needs the right approach. It enlightens subjects like personal hygiene, textile care & the environment. Through this document, we shall understand on how one can plan the most advanced, effective & efficient laundry setup which shall give the best return on investment (ROI) in the least time possible.

The two prime segments of commercial laundry are Institutional Laundry & Retail Laundry, B to B & B to C respectively.

Choosing with the right approach, the preliminary factors:

The above factors need to be evaluated step by step in order to plan the most profitable & efficient setup. One has multiple options when it comes to choosing the right product and the variants/ capacities of the machines. Like any business venture, ROI is one of the most important points to understand. A business model to sustain depends on many factors listed below:

ST FAB®


Institutional LaundryInstitutional laundry, whether for hotels, hospitals, railways, pharma & other industries is a segment which demands heavy duty, durable and advanced machines to withstand the ongoing & continuous demand. Many laundries are running 24/7, 365 days. Such a system is only possible when the machines are extremely durable and efficient.

Usually, the capacities/ sizes of the machines used in an institutional laundry are significantly more than what is required in a retail laundry setup. The prime reason for this is that the types of linen

are fixed & consistent, thus sorting becomes easier & so does the processing. A commercial laundry setup catering to the B2B industry needs to be highly efficient when it comes to energy, water consumption, detergent to load ratio etc. These factors, if properly worked upon, can help establish the most reliable and successful setup.

A commercial laundry with a capacity of 1 ton per shift to 6 tons per shift should have fully automated machines. From washing to ironing to folding to packing. With Stefab, one can be sure to plan the most

advanced laundry setup comprising of high-end sophisticated at the same time durable machines. Automatic bed-sheet feeding, folding & stacking is the way forward. It impressively reduces the total manpower required and also improves the quality of output.

On the other hand, some business owners have a strict budget in place yet they have to fulfil a certain amount of load. Well, with

Stefab, one has the flexibility in almost every aspect. We have semi-automatic machines which will be a little easy on the pocket but at the same time, one can plan a full-fledged plant with modest means and cater to high amount of loads.

Stefab washers are capable to intake any form of detergents manually as well as through automatic dozing stations provided by many chemical vendors across the globe.

The PLC in our washers also provides wi-fi connectivity to ease the monitoring for the management.

An outsourced laundry can cater to almost every segment: Healthcare, Hospitality, Govt. Institutions, other industries etc.

Introduction to Retail LaundryRetail laundry on the other hand is a concept which requires a diverse range of machines such as:Ÿ Small capacity washers with hybrid flexibility - conventional washing + wet-cleaning processing. Ÿ Dry-cleaning machines – Fully enclosed & Fully automatic, Hydro-Carbon/ Green-Earth or Perc

Solvent.Ÿ Dryers with great energy efficiency.Ÿ Ironing & Finishing machines to cover up all types of garments.Ÿ Auxiliary equipment – Garment conveyors, Garment packing, Tagging machines etc.

Retail Laundry can primarily be planned in two ways:

Factory Model:Ÿ A factory unit which will serve the collection outlets in & across coverable area/ vicinity of the factory.Ÿ There can be multiple stores (collection outlets) spread across a large area which would be catered

by the factory.Ÿ Transportation needs to be incorporated along with pick-up/drop vehicles with proper garment

storage to avoid any damage/ hampering.Ÿ Well established software + tagging system should be in place for a faultless end-to-end cycle.

Live Laundry Model:Ÿ Live laundry outlet which itself has a set of laundry & auxiliary equipment stationed in the area behind

the receiving counter.Ÿ This concept creates a modern experience for the customer; leads to a better presentation &

transparency.Ÿ Model which shall ease the overall process of transportation & maintenance of garments.Ÿ Attracts customers & makes you their preferred laundry partner.

One should focus on the presentation of the outlet, from the interiors to placement of equipment without compromising the flexibility of the entire setup to handle each and every type of garment coming in.

Laundry is a utility and there are numerous parameters which need to be kept in mind with utmost precision. It is the trust of a customer through which he is able to let you process his branded/ expensive garments.

Different textures, different compositions such as cotton, silk, chiffon, leather and many more require a specific method for effective and safe processing.

Retail laundry is a concept which needs to be understood & learned with time. It is the experience which translates towards the success of a well-established laundry outlet.
