A good plan of space follows the movement of textiles and people.
Draw the path of one piece of laundry
Start with a simple drawing showing where textiles arrive, are sorted, are washed and go after finishing. Mark waiting areas and routes used by staff and trolleys. Reconsider any unnecessary backtracking through the same passage.
The initial plan should give each step a clearly defined area. Only then should you decide the exact machine positions. On its Project Design page, TOLON emphasises adapting the solution to the available space and business requirements.
The machine must fit and remain accessible
External dimensions are not the only measure. Check the door opening, loading area, access to service parts and the way the equipment is brought into the facility. The dimensions of the aisles, stairs and doors should be compared with the delivery requirements before ordering.
Required clearances, floor load-bearing capacity and installation methods are defined in the documentation for each model. Have the designer and authorised installer check the technical requirements rather than judging the available space by sight alone.
Check the connections in time.
Make a list of existing installations: power supply, water supply and drainage, ventilation and energy supply intended for drying or finishing. Record where they are located, and check their capabilities with the appropriate experts.
Allow space for work surfaces, sorting, clean-linen storage and trolley movements. Where specific hygiene requirements apply, the layout must follow the facility's operating procedures; a general sketch is not a substitute for a dedicated design.
List for the first meeting
- Floor plan with dimensions and ceiling height.
- Photos of entrances and equipment access routes.
- Installation positions and confirmed technical data.
- Daily volume and types of textiles.
- Existing equipment, storage and work surfaces.
A well-prepared plan helps resolve questions before delivery. It also makes it easier to compare layout options and agree on the next step.
