First industrial laundry in Paraguay operates JENSEN equipment

Lavätt is an enterprise of a Paraguayan business group. In recent years, Paraguay has seen a growth in the high-class hotel sector, food companies and other similar enterprises. This caused a strong demand for services, particularly for textile rental services.

 

For several years, investments in laundries only reached the commercial level. Lavätt decided that the time had come to undertake a project that would combine the needs of different users, applying proven technology. The company visited laundries in Buenos Aires to look at various technologies and approaches and decided to move ahead in April 2019. 

The new laundry, located just fifteen minutes from the booming city of Asunción, was completed in March 2020. Lavätt operates its laundry plant with a team of 32, 24 trained operators, a supervisor, a technical service assistant, 5 logistics experts and one administrative assistant. Together they safeguard the processing of one ton of garments per hour. 

Reducing the impact on the environment and saving resources to a minimum was key – that’s why JENSEN technology was chosen for both the washroom and the finishing section. 

This article is an extract from an article that was originally published in “Multiservicios”, an Argentinian laundry magazine. 
 

Best hygiene conditions: The TopDrain system in the JENSEN SEP water extraction press is entirely made of stainless steel, and by design, avoids any standing water.

Six transfer dryers ensure an optimum drying process with minimal heat loss.

Two complete finishing lines and a towel folder guarantee a fabulous finishing of all flatwork and terry products.

Paraguay’s capital city Asunción is one of the oldest cities in South America. It is known for its distinctive skyline, its colorful buildings and for being home to the country’s first industrial laundry.
