Tunnel washing from the user's viewpoint.

It's become a matter of fact. Whenever a launderer is considering some sort of production upgrade, the tunnel washer is one of the options that is investigated. Everyone is aware of the basic concept of tunnel washing, but all of the units that are marketed in the U.S. have some engineering differences that make them unique. To decide which unit is best for your laundry, it is necessary to do some extensive research. This means talking to manufacturers, knowledgeable chemical suppliers, and other launderers who have already taken the plunge. During the past few years, the DIGEST has asked manufacturers to comment on various aspects of tunnel washing. This year, however, we have decided to get the inside story from operators who have installed these units in their plants. We also have some input from chemical suppliers who are experienced in developing formulas for tunnels.
