Heavy-duty industrial laundry machinery · United Kingdom
Every other machine in your plant takes water out by heating it. Our press takes it out by squeezing it, at 50 bar.
The problem nobody names
Most UK laundries are not standard. They sit in buildings that were extended twice, with a low bay at one end, a column in the wrong place and a doorway that decides everything.
When the machine is fixed and the building is not, you pay for the difference: civil works, lost floor space, a layout that fights your flow for the next twenty years.
We size the machine to the building. Load height, discharge side, module count, footprint. Because we cut the steel, write the software and build the panel ourselves, changing a dimension is an engineering decision, not a special order.
MAMMUT · the press
Every other machine on your floor removes water by heating it. The press removes it by squeezing it. That is the whole argument, and it is the reason we build this one first.
Manufacturer data, MAMMUT TURBO 5.0 at 50 bar.
Put your own numbers in.
Based on 60% to 35% residual moisture (manufacturer data, MAMMUT TURBO 5.0 at 50 bar) and 0.63 kWh to evaporate one kilo of water, which is the latent heat of vaporisation of water. It counts no burner, drum or exhaust losses, so the figure you get here is the floor, not the ceiling.
The water squeezed out goes back into the tunnel, still warm. So you also stop paying to heat it twice.
The machinery
From soiled sorting to stacked, wrapped linen. Pick what you need and we will quote that; pick the line and we will engineer the whole flow.
POSEIDON
Modular static-bath tunnel with top-loading transfer and a water-recovery system driven by software we write ourselves. Chambers from 50 kg, with the module count specified to your daily tonnage, and an automated loader available to feed soiled batches into the first chamber. Around 50 kg of washed linen leaves the tunnel every two minutes.
MAMMUT / MAMMUT TURBO 5.0
Hydraulic membrane press at 40 or 50 bar, taking residual moisture down from around 60% to 35% and recovering water back into the tunnel. Every kilo of water squeezed out here is a kilo you don't pay to evaporate.
STERILWASH
Washes and sanitises roll cages up to 90×90×180 cm, around three trolleys per 10–15 minute cycle. The part of hygiene compliance that everybody forgets until the audit.
STIRON
Rigid fixed-chest ironer heated by closed-circuit diathermic oil, fired on natural gas, diesel or LPG. Even heat transfer across the full width, PLC touchscreen, talking to the feeders upstream and the folders downstream.
TORNADO
Pass-through rotary dryers in 50 and 100 kg sizes, fired on steam or gas with a modulating burner and high-density insulation. The optical pyrometer reads the temperature off the linen itself, so the cycle ends when the linen is dry, not when a timer says so.
EAGLE · INTRUDER · HORNET
HORNET separates the pieces coming off the dryers, INTRUDER is the semi-automatic universal feeder with twin suction in a compact frame, and EAGLE is the automatic clamp feeder with up to four stations and Cotton Care anti-tear protection.
RAPTOR · UP · UP 2 · FOX
Up to three longitudinal folds by air jet on counter-rotating rollers, cross folds by belt reversal, at 60 metres a minute. Houses up to four stackers in one frame, so single, double, queen and king run together without four machines' worth of floor.
APACHE · APACHE AIR
Automatic format recognition across three or four sizes, with blade or air-jet side profiling to keep the edges clean and the creases out. Built for the volumes hospitality throws at a towel line.
KYLVEL ELECTRIC / PLUS · WING · FALCON
Independent electric paddles taking table linen and small pieces to 1,200 items an hour, finished off by WING stackers and FALCON auto-centring units.
MOVE SYSTEM
Any serious tunnel will process the tonnage. What actually caps your output is what happens between machines: cakes queueing after the press, dryers waiting, the ironer starved while the folder sits idle.
MOVE SYSTEM is the plumbing between the machines: overhead rail and bag loading for soiled and clean, a mechanised PIZZE buffer store downstream of the presses, transfer cars on cross rails feeding the dryers dynamically, and ball conveyors for low-friction multi-directional sortation. It decouples the wash floor from the drying floor so neither waits for the other.
On the floor
We are the UK end of a factory that cuts its own steel, machines its own components and writes its own control software. Everything on this site is built in those three plants, not badged from a third party.
What people say about the Italian factory that builds these machines
“A very serious company, a leader in the construction of industrial laundry machines. Service and professionalism.”
PEPPONECO · Google review, Ponte Buggianese · translated from Italian
“A dynamic, capable and innovative company, with a significant history behind it.”

Capital-smart
Energy and finance have made a brand-new line a hard board paper in Britain right now. So there is a second route, and it is not the second-hand market.
We strip a machine back to nothing. What we keep is the original heavy steel frame and structure, which is very often more rigid and more thermally stable than current metal. Everything else goes: bearings, seals, belts, rollers, the whole hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical installation, rebuilt from scratch with inverter-driven motors and a modern PLC running our own software.
What comes back is a machine with the running costs and the controls of new plant, at a capital cost that a finance director will actually sign, on a frame that has already proven it can take twenty years of shifts.
Made in Italy, properly
The steel is cut in our own fabrication shop in Italy. The components are machined to tolerance in-house. The panels are wired in-house. The software that runs the PLC is written in-house. Nothing critical is farmed out to a supplier who has never seen a laundry floor.
That is not a romantic story about craftsmanship. It is the reason we can change a loading height, move a discharge to the other side or add a module to a tunnel without it becoming a six-month special order. And it is the reason these frames are still running two decades later.
Why buy from us
Heavy steel frames, built for decades of shifts rather than for a warranty period. It is the reason a frame from twenty years ago is often still the best part of the machine.
Steel cut, machines assembled, panels wired and software written under one roof in Italy, with operations across Europe. Nothing is sub-assembled by a supplier who has never seen your plant.
You are talking to the people who build the machine, so the answer to "can it do this?" comes from engineering, not from a datasheet.
Nobody quotes your plant from a catalogue. An engineer comes to look at the machines, at how the flow works and at the drawings, and only then do you get a figure. It is slower than sending a price list, and it is the reason the number holds.
Nothing sits in a warehouse waiting for a buyer. The machine that arrives was cut for your building, not for an average one, so there is a lead time and we tell you what it is up front.
We are not a rental company with a national engineer fleet, and we will not pretend to be. If what you want is a monthly fee that makes the machine somebody else's problem, that is a legitimate choice and there are good firms selling it. We sell the machine, at a price you own outright, built to need us as rarely as possible.
