Linen chutes offer a cost-effective and efficient solution for managing high-volume laundry in facilities like hospitals, hotels, and aged care centres. These specialised vertical shafts enable 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.
Linen chutes help 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.
A linen chute is a vertical passage installed within buildings like hospitals, hotels, and aged care facilities to transport soiled or dirty linen from multiple floors to a central collection point, typically in a basement or dirty linen store.
Staff deposit dirty linen into a chute intake door on each floor, and the linen falls via gravity to a collection bin or designated area at the bottom of the chute, usually located in a laundry room. This reduces the need for manual laundry transport.
Linen chutes save time, reduce labour, minimise manual handling, and reduce the risk of contamination. They also improve space efficiency by eliminating the need for bulky laundry carts or trolleys, contributing to a cleaner and more organised environment.
We recommend that linen chutes be manufactured from LLDPE, but galvanised steel is another commonly used material for durability, easy cleaning, and resistance to wear and tear. These materials also help maintain hygiene standards in facilities like hospitals.
By automating the transportation of linen to a central collection point, staff save time that would otherwise be spent manually transporting laundry. This allows them to focus on more critical tasks, improving overall operational efficiency.
While linen chutes are primarily designed for linen, some facilities may use them for other lightweight, non-hazardous materials such as uniforms or towels. However, they are not suitable for hazardous or heavy items.
