At the All India Institute of Ayurveda efficiency and hygiene are non-negotiable. Managing linen for a 300-bedded healthcare facility means handling a constant flow of soiled sheets, gowns and uniforms every day, all of which need to be processed with precision and care. Recognizing this critical need, a complete turnkey laundry system was designed, engineered, and executed by Stefab, ensuring that every aspect of hospital laundry from infection control to energy efficiency works seamlessly together.
Understanding the Requirement: Precision in Planning
Before any machine was installed, Stefab’s team conducted a detailed analysis of the hospital’s laundry load. Based on the bed capacity, it was calculated that approximately 1,800 kilograms of linen needed to be washed each day, averaging 6 kilograms per bed.
This data formed the foundation for the entire project. From there, Stefab designed a customized laundry layout, ensuring a smooth workflow from dirty to clean zones while maintaining strict hygiene separation.
But Stefab’s role didn’t stop at supplying machines. The company delivered a complete turnkey solution, managing every element of the setup including:
- Civil and electrical work
- Tiling, flooring, and roofing
- Installation, testing, and commissioning
The result was a fully operational, efficient laundry room designed end-to-end to meet the highest standards of the healthcare industry.
Technology in Action: A Walkthrough of the Setup
At the heart of this facility lies a lineup of Stefab industrial laundry machines, each chosen for its critical role in maintaining hospital hygiene and operational excellence.
BX Barrier Infection Washer Extractor
In healthcare, infection control is non-negotiable, and the BX Barrier Infection Washer Extractor is designed specifically for that. By physically separating the clean and soiled sides of the laundry area, it ensures that contaminated linen never comes into contact with disinfected linen. Dirty items are loaded from one side and emerge clean and sanitized from the other.
This barrier technology is essential in hospitals, where preventing the spread of pathogens through linen is vital to patient safety and overall hygiene compliance.
Washer Extractors
The next stage features Stefab’s high-performance Washer Extractors, built to deliver thorough cleaning with minimal resource consumption. Their high beating action ensures deep removal of contaminants, while the advanced HMI control panel allows up to 99 customized programs, letting hospitals tailor wash cycles based on fabric type and infection severity.
These machines not only improve cleaning quality but also reduce water, detergent and energy usage, keeping operational costs low without compromising hygiene.
Drying Tumblers
Once washed, linens are transferred to Stefab’s Dryers which are equipped with precision humidity sensors. These automatically stop the cycle once the ideal dryness is reached, saving power and preserving fabric integrity.
In a hospital setting, proper drying is crucial to eliminate residual moisture, which can otherwise harbor bacteria or fungi. The result is hygienically safe, soft, and ready-to-use linen for wards, operation theatres and patient rooms.
Roller Heated Ironer
After drying, the linen is finished using Stefab’s Roller Heated Ironer. With tensioned belts and a 5 mm polished stainless-steel roller, it ensures uniform, high temperature pressing, which further sanitizes fabric surfaces while giving them a crisp finish.
This step not only enhances presentation but also acts as an additional sterilization layer, critical in maintaining hygiene in patient and staff areas.
Auxiliary Machines
Complementing the main line are Stefab’s auxiliary machines, each adding value to the hygiene process:
- The Stain Removing Machine effectively treats stains like blood and urine, ensuring visibly and hygienically clean results.
- Utility Presses are used for doctor coats, staff uniforms and specialty garments, ensuring they are professionally finished.
Together, these systems create a fully integrated laundry ecosystem, designed to support uninterrupted, hygienic hospital operations.
