Belgium: Lapauw aims to provide washer-extractors for all market sectors from small nursing homes and hotels through to industrial laundries, including those running specialised operations. It can also cater to the needs of the hospital market with a full range of barrier models.

The machines are designed both for efficiency and reliability. On the control side, the company’s own microprocessor design with touch screen provides a full management system.

The machines are solidly engineered with heavy steel construction, catering to the market’s need for reliability and robustness. Points of interest in the design include four suspension points with spring and oil damping. Machine motors use frequency controlled inverter drives. Single motors are used for capacities up to 160 kg. Larger models have two motors.
