Tunnel Systems

Configurable to meet the laundering and volume needs of medium- to large-volume laundry operations, the Continuous Batch Washing System completes from 1,200 to 3,000 pounds of laundry per hour, depending on the number of modules. The system teams a Batch Tunnel Washer, Water Extraction Press, Delivery Shuttles and Continuous Batch Pass-Through Dryers. System machinery is seamlessly linked and automatically controlled by a highly flexible Batch Management Tool (BMT). All components can operate independently, together as a system, or seamlessly with other manufacturers’ equipment, including bag-loading and conveyor systems.

Loading System

The Girbau Industrial Loading Conveyor automatically transports and loads laundry batches, by weight, into the TBS-50 Batch Tunnel Washer. The automatic weighing conveyors are available in three models — two for incline access, and one for horizontal access. Each of the conveyor’s compartments holds 110-pound laundry loads.

TBS-50 Batch Tunnel Washer

Featuring a mono-block design, the TBS-50 Batch Washer is less costly and simpler to install than comparable machines on the market, uses less water and energy, runs quietly and delivers a quality wash for any fabric type. Designed for today and tomorrow, the TBS-50 is an extremely flexible tunnel washer that can be configured according to the unique needs of any high-volume laundry. Each module is individually programmable for superior cleaning flexibility. The Girbau Industrial TBS-50 is available in 5- to 12-module configurations to perfectly fit production needs.

Water Extraction Press

Engineered to press laundry batches processed in any type of batch washer, the SPR-50 Press creates a round “cake” of laundry with a flat base. With high-capacity drainage facilities, water is extracted quickly and gently from all types of linen. The SPR-50 single-stage press is available in three different positioning options at the batch washer outlet: in-line, turns to the right, or turns to the left.

Shuttle Lifting Conveyors

Shuttle Lifting Conveyors automatically move the pressed “cakes” from the Press into up to six open dryers. Available to fit the specific needs of any high-volume laundry, they feature 43.3 x 50.4 inch loading tables handling up to 220 pounds capacity each. Available in single- and double-cake designs.

Pass-Through Dryers

140- and 265-pound capacities

Offering unsurpassed efficiency, productivity and ease-of-use, ST-Series Dryers provide Spirotilt Technology for automated unloading without dryer tilting. Once laundry “cakes” are automatically loaded into the open dryers, they are untangled, conditioned and/or dried. Continuous Batch Pass-Through Dryers are available in natural gas, steam or thermal fluid heat.

Central Control-Batch Management Tool

The BMT seamlessly links controls and monitors all components and processes of the Girbau Industrial Continuous Batch Washing System.
