As the organisers of Texcare had promised, advanced automation and robotics were very much to the fore – the star performers, in fact – as the actions of the machines were hypnotic and hard to tear one’s eyes away from. Sharing a stand, Biko and Laundry Robotics drew a big crowd keen to watch the antics of Laura, Robin and a new addition to the family, Roger, on all four days of the show.
With Roger, Laundry Robotics has expanded its product line of automatic towel feeders to three market leading models. “Laundries have different kinds of requirements for their towel folding, therefore it was only logical that Laundry Robotics expand its range to offer even more possibilities and solutions,” said ays Erwin Maassen, one of the company founders.
With this new addition, Laundry Robotics believes it can fulfil almost every need of a laundry for automatic towel feeding.
Maassen advises that if a laundry only has a standard towel assortment with smaller towels, for example a laundry processing hospital linen, then the Roy would be a perfect fit. “When a laundry has a variety of towel sizes, from small bath mats to large bath sheets, then the Robin will be a match. If a laundry doesn’t have the space for a Robin and/or a laundry wants the full option version of an automatic towel feeder, that is where Roger will come into it’s own.”
The Robin from Laundry Robotics was the first real automatic towel feeder in the market, says Maasse, explaining that it was 2018 when Laundry Robotics presented this machine in Milan. At that time competitors and laundries said that automatic towel feeding is not necessary in a laundry. Now, six years later, automatic towel feeding systems have become more and more commonplace. Some of the options available with the Laundry Robotics machines include AI logo recognition and automatic ejecting of face cloths.
Now, with the introduction of Roger, the third machine in the portfolio, the same options can be added to the specification of the machine along with a fully integrated Mobics quality scanner which differs from the Robin which has the scanner on the exterior. Thanks to it’s ergonomic design, Roger is a faster machine even though the overall length has been reduced by 2 metres and the width by almost 1 metre. Roger’s performance can still process the same range of towels up to and including the large bath sheets, as it’s big brother Robin.
“As market leader, Laundry Robotics can offer more systems with multiple options to meet the requirements and needs of a modern day commercial laundry. Whether it is speed, space, towel size, or quality control, one of the machines from the product line of Laundry Robotics will fulfil the needs of the laundry,” said Maassen.
