Functions of laundry room area

Auxiliary Area: receiving and dispatching room, fabric room, material room, boiler room, air compressor room; power distribution and lighting area. Sewing area.

Step 1-Washing Volume Calculation

A known washing volume parameters for example a hotel quipped with 260 rooms(assuming they are all standard rooms).The guest room department open room rate assumes 100%, each room should be replaced and wash the weight(kg) of cloth and grass every day as follows,

Bed sheet 2.4

Quilt cover 3.2

Pillowcase 0.2

Bath towel 1.4

Face towel 0.4

Floor towel 0.3

Square towel 0.1

Cloth weight per room 8

If room opening rate 100%,total weight of 260 rooms 260*8*100%=2080kg.

Step 2-Dry Cleaning Volume Calculation

According to the data provided by hotel project, the dry cleaning capacity is as follows.Dry cleaning capacity of guest clothes: 260 rooms, 2 persons per room, 1.5 kg/person, 100% housing rate, 15% of guests need dry cleaning.Then the daily washing volume: 260*2*1.5 kg*10%*90%=117KG/day Total dry cleaning volume is: 117KG/day.

Step 3-Per Hour Cleaning Volume Calculation

①　Water washing: Automatic washing and stripping machine every time to complete a washing program takes about 50 minutes (including the time to change the auxiliary machine, large equipment, change the auxiliary machine time longer), the daily wet washing volume of 2080KG, according to 8 hours of actual operation of the equipment working system.The number of washings to be completed per day is: 8 hours*60 minutes/50 minutes/time = 9.6 times.The washing volume to be completed each time is: 2080KG/9.6 times=216 KG/time.

②　Drying: Automatic dryer takes about the same amount of time as washing and stripping machines to complete each drying procedure, according to the ratio of 1:1 to configure the dryer.

③　Dry cleaning: Automatic dry cleaning machine each time to complete a washing program takes about 50 minutes, the daily dry cleaning volume of 81 KG, according to the 8-hour working system, then the daily dry cleaning volume per hour: The number of washes to be completed per day is: 8 hours*60 minutes/50 minutes/time = 9.6 times.Each time should complete the amount of washing: 117*9.6 times = 12KG/time
