Hotels and resorts handle huge volumes of linens every single day — from bed sheets and towels to table covers and staff uniforms. To maintain hygiene standards, quick turnaround time, and fabric quality, choosing the right industrial washing machine becomes extremely important. A powerful, durable, and energy-efficient machine can reduce labour cost, water consumption, and overall laundry operation challenges.
In this blog, we will walk you through the key factors hotels and resorts should consider before selecting the ideal industrial washing machine.
1. Select the Right Capacity (15kg, 30kg, 60kg, 100kg, 120kg, 200kg)
Your capacity choice should match your property size:
- Small Hotels / Boutique Hotels → 15kg – 30kg
- Medium Hotels & Resorts → 60kg – 100kg
- Large Resorts / Luxury Properties → 120kg – 200kg
Choosing the correct capacity prevents machine overload and increases machine life while maintaining wash quality.
2. Choose Between Front Load or Side Load Machines
Hotels usually prefer Front Load Industrial Washing Machines because they:
✔ Save water
✔ Ensure gentle fabric handling
✔ Deliver higher cleaning efficiency
Side load models are best for heavy-duty continuous operations where space and movement allow easy loading/unloading.
3. Prefer Machines with Washer Extractor Technology
A Washer Extractor offers both washing and high-speed extraction in one machine.
Benefits include:
- Faster drying
- Lower electricity costs
- Reduced operational time
- Less manpower required
Perfect for hotels with large daily laundry requirements.
4. Hot Water & Steam Compatibility
Hotels with premium fabrics (linen, towels, robes) must use machines that support:
- Steam Heating
- Hot Water Wash
This ensures deep cleaning, sanitization, and stain removal — essential for hospitality hygiene standards.
5. Durability & Maintenance Support
Always choose a machine with:
✔ Stainless steel drum
✔ Heavy-duty body
✔ Advanced safety controls
✔ Easy spare part availability
✔ Local service support

Conclusion
Selecting the right industrial washing machine for your hotel or resort directly affects linen quality, guest satisfaction, and overall operational cost. Make sure you choose a machine with the right capacity, heating type, durability, and high extraction features. With the right equipment, your hotel laundry becomes faster, smoother, and more profitable
