Because most parents cannot accompany their children frequently, boarding students are now common. At present, almost all schools have built dormitories to help students who live far from school solve the problem of getting to school. Even primary schools and kindergartens have begun to implement boarding on campus. In this way, schools are no longer just places for children to study; they have also become children’s second home. However, many children do not know how to do housework, and for some younger children, washing clothes is also quite difficult. In order to provide students with a better learning and living environment, many schools have started to build their own laundry rooms, specifically for washing school uniforms, teachers’ work clothes, bed linens, and more. So how should a school choose suitable laundry equipment? Now Shanghai Ruili Laundry Equipment will teach you how to choose.
Basic information of the case school: 4,000 students, 200 teachers, 4,200 beds
Calculate the daily laundry volume
1. Teachers’ work clothes and school uniforms are both approximately 0.5 kg
Daily clothing washing volume:
School uniforms + teachers’ work clothes = (400 + 200) * 0.5 = 2100kg
2. Bedding weight:
| Linen category | Weight per item |
|---|---|
| Sheet | 0.6kg |
| Duvet cover | 1.2kg |
| Pillowcase | 0.2kg |
| Face towel | 0.2kg |
| Bath towel | 0.3kg |
| Laundry volume per bed | 2.5kg |
| Total laundry volume for all beds | 4200*2.5=10500kg |
| Washing cycle | Washed once a week |
| Daily bedding laundry volume | 10500÷7=1500kg |
Total daily laundry volume of the school laundry room: 2100 + 1500 = 3600kg/day
The school laundry room works 10 hours/day
Equipment capacity per day (calculated based on 10 working hours per day)
1. If equipped with 3 sets of 100kg washing machines, each cycle takes 50 minutes (including loading and unloading linen), and can wash 100kg of dry items. The daily washing capacity in 10 hours is:
Daily number of cycles per 100kg washing machine: 10 × 60 ÷ 50 = 12 cycles
Daily washing capacity per 100kg washing machine: 12 × 100 = 1200kg/day (washing time 3.3 hours)
Daily washing capacity of 3 sets of 100kg washing machines: 3 × 1200 = 3600kg/day
2. If equipped with 1 set of 25kg washing machine (to prevent fluctuations in laundry volume from causing shortages), each cycle takes 50 minutes (including loading and unloading linen), and can wash 25kg of dry items. The daily washing capacity in 10 hours is: 25kg × (10 × 60 ÷ 50) × 1 set = 300kg
Maximum daily washing capacity in total: 3600kg + 300kg = 3900kg

The number of students, teachers, and bedding items differs from school to school, so the size of the laundry room and the number of equipment units will also vary.
