Improve Dryer Safety<br />
Wash floor dashboards are an integral part of commercial<br />
laundries. This visual feedback display has proven effectiveness<br />
in improving productivity from the washers.<br />
But what about the dryers,<br />
an equally critical role in the process?<br />
Dryers are often one of the highest consumers of natural gas,<br />
bottleneck flow from wash floor to finishing and are often to<br />
blame for fires.<br />
and Efficiency<br />
Results:<br />
1. 30% reduction in turn times<br />
Spindle’s Dryer Plugin brings industry-leading visual workplace<br />
displays and real-time information and alerts to address:<br />
Operational Efficiency:<br />
• Load Weight<br />
• Run and Turn times<br />
Safety Alerts:<br />
• Cool Down Times<br />
• Purge Cycle Times<br />
Challenges:<br />
A 20-plant corporate chain purchased Spindle Dryer Plugin to<br />
address the following objectives:<br />
• Increase dryer throughput to remove a plant bottleneck and<br />
avoid purchasing an additional dryer.<br />
• Optimize dryer loading efficiency to assist in increased<br />
throughput and reduce gas consumption per kg.<br />
• Improve safety by eliminating or warning of conditions that<br />
could cause a fire in a dryer<br />
Solution:<br />
• Spindle retrofitted each dryer with an input device and<br />
display. Signals were wired directly from the dryer for start,<br />
stop, purge and cool down times. The operators enter<br />
formula and load weights on the touch screen display.<br />
• The data is sent to SpindleLIVE for real-time dashboards and<br />
alerting via Spindle Notifications App, SMS Text or email.<br />
• A real-time Visual Workplace Display was installed in the<br />
dryer area for the operators, clearly showing safety alerts<br />
and efficiency issues.<br />
2. 15% improvement in loading efficiency<br />
3. Reduction in Natural gas usage by almost 20%<br />
in the dryers:<br />
4. Significant reduction in cool down exceptions<br />
5. Rapid intervention when dryer safety alerts are<br />
