INDUSTRIAL WASHER 2000

The Risk on Water Resources

The U.S. EPA says industrial laundries discharge more than 13 million pounds of hazardous contaminants into the public water treatment system every year.1

The Risk on Water Resources

INDUSTRIAL WASHER 2000

25% of public sewage treatment plants report their facilities are clogged and damaged by sludge.1

The contaminants include lead, toluene, xylene, zinc, and other heavy metals known to cause cancer or kill aquatic life.1

The Risk on Water Resources

Residual oils, greases and heavy metals can endanger employee health.2

OUCH!

Metal shavings from lathing operations can injure faces and hands, resulting in lost work time.2

With workers that use 2.5 rental shop towels a day, toxic metals and lead can accidentally be ingested when transferred from the rental shop towel to workers hands.3

Threats to Workplace Safety

Residual oils and chemicals can reduce absorption, cause streaks and smears,and inhibit adhesion of parts and interfere with electrical connections.

Lack of Efficiency

Loose threads and lint can get caught in machinery and snag on edges andprotrusions. Residues in towels used to clean walls before painting can affect the paint finish.

Lack of Efficiency

Shop towels laying around can create a messy work environment. Additionally, having to grab new towels from a faraway bin can add lost hours over the course of a year.

Lack of Efficiency

Many launderers generally add a 10% Replacement Charge and a 15% Environmental Charge to help cover their waste management costs.

Additionally, many launderers charge you for an inventory level versus your actual usage, making you pay for towels you don’t even use!

Even if they do charge you for actual usage, it’s based on weight, and used towels weigh more.
