If you’re comparing commercial front-load washers, one of the most important features you should be looking at is extraction performance, often referred to as G-force or spin speed.
Spin speed is about more than washers leaving customers’ clothes too wet, though that’s important, too. Installing washers with higher extraction capabilities instead of lower-extraction machines may cost more up front, but long-term, the extra investment can be well worth it for the overall profitability of your laundromat.
Why Look for Washers With Higher Spin Speed?
G-force is the measure of the centrifugal force exerted on laundry during the spin cycle. The higher the G-force, the more water is removed from laundry. The less water in laundry when it goes into the dryer, the shorter the dry time.
Shorter dry times benefit your bottom line in two ways. First, there’s the potential for added revenue from being able to accommodate more turns per day. Second, shorter dry times mean less energy consumed per turn, which can lead to noticeable energy savings.
Comparing 100G and 200G Washers
Let’s look at the difference between a typical 100G machine and a 200G Maytag® Commercial Laundry rigid-mount multi-load washer.
At the end of a typical cycle, a 100G machine has only removed about 28% of the water that has soaked into the clothes. A 200G machine removes about 40%. That difference in moisture content reduces drying time by 15% to 20% per load.
Over the course of a day, that reduction in dry time can mean 5% to 10% more turns for a laundromat. Over the course of the year, that can mean up to a 16% reduction in a laundromat’s energy costs.
The new Maytag Commercial Laundry multi-load washer lineup features up to 200G extraction on all rigid-mount models, helping remove excess moisture before loads move to the dryer and supporting faster dry times.
200G Extraction Helps Improve Laundry Efficiency
The new Maytag Commercial Laundry multi-load washer lineup is designed to help laundromat owners improve operational efficiency with capacities ranging from 25 to 85 pounds and features built for commercial laundry environments.
All rigid-mount models feature up to 200G extraction, helping remove more moisture before laundry reaches the dryer. The lineup also includes a 7-inch touchscreen control, soap box spray rinse, removable dispenser trays and a ceramic-coated shaft sleeve designed to support long-term durability and simplified maintenance.
