Elephants Foot linen chute system offers a cost-effective and efficient solution for managing high-volume laundry in hospitals, hotels, and aged care centres.
By automating linen transport to central collection points, dirty linens are quickly moved to the laundry room, helping staff work more efficiently and focus on what truly matters.
Linen chutes are specialised vertical shafts designed for a quick and easy disposal of dirty linens, transporting them directly to the laundry room. By eliminating manual handling, linen chutes save time, enhance hygiene, and reduce operational costs, streamlining laundry management.
They feature self-closing hoppers that are 2-hour fire rated (FRL -/120/30), sound insulation to minimise noise, and are available in custom sizes and durable materials, including stainless steel, galvanised steel, or LLDPE.
The laundry linen chute helps optimise facility space by eliminating the need for bulky carts or trolleys, contributing to a cleaner and more organised environment.
Hospitals, hotels, and assisted living facilities can ensure prompt and sanitary linen transportation by incorporating linen chute systems into new construction.
These systems minimise manual handling, guard against contamination, and incorporate safety features like fire-rated doors.
Because linen chutes centralise linen handling, workflow is greatly improved, and manual transport and related labour costs are decreased.
Tailored to fit specific layouts, our systems include fire-rated doors, automatic shut-offs for safety, and sound insulation to minimise noise during operation.
