the family-run textile service has proved itself through the years
eXHIbItION preVIeW textielverzorging G. van der Kleij & Zn. bv, Netherlands
previously unimaginable but possible today: the 3 senking tunnels wash a total of 5.4 tonsof laundry per hour.
Since 1859, the family-run business
G. van der Kleij & zn. bv has provided private
individuals, hotels, restaurants and party
services with fresh laundry. In the early
days, laundry was still washed in the canal in
Utrecht and then bleached under the sun in
the green fields; today, the operation in
De Meern is almost entirely automated.
In 1990, 40 tons (88,200 lbs) per week of
laundry was processed at the old location in
Vleuten, and in 2000 the new operation, currently
located in De Meern, was completely
rebuilt to allow a capacity of 180 tons (400,000
lbs) per week. Managing Director and Laundry
Manager G. van der Kleij ensured that machine
planning for optimal operation was used as
the basis for design and construction of the
building. The newly constructed laundry meant
that the company could specialize in the overall
concept of textile rental service for the horeca
industry. The company has since become the
largest operation of its kind in the Netherlands.
Today, 270 tons (600,000 lbs) of hotel and
restaurant linen are handled every week
in a cycle time of 100 seconds, using three
Senking Universal P50 continuous batch
washers, each with 17 compartments. The
soiled laundry is efficiently sorted before
washing and washed in one of the three batch
washers according to a classification of bed
linen, towels or table linen. All flatwork items
are finished using eight ironer lines. Sheets
and duvet covers are fed over decentralized
JENSEN feeding systems and small items are
manually fed into the ironer lines. Towels are
fully dried in Senking gas dyers, which are
located in a separate room, and transported
via the Futurail bag conveyor system to the
Tematic Pro towel folding machines.
G. van der Kleij proudly adds: "We received
an award as the best company for corporate
and social responsibility in terms of working
cost-effectively according to the principle of
Maatschappelijk Verantwoord Ondernemen.
Decentralized feeding of duvet covers with the Jenrail system into the Logic plus Automatic.
We know that our organization remains
innovative, as we critically evaluate all
processes according to the three Ps – People,
Planet and Profit – and improve these processes
regularly." G. van der Kleij sees himself as
the father figure of a company that is characterized
by environmentally-friendly processes,
exemplary personnel management and
excellent working conditions.
