GA Braun recently completed a major renovation of an operational healthcare laundry facility in Upstate New York, upgrading key processing and finishing areas while maintaining full production throughout the project. This high-efficiency laundry upgrade demonstrates Braun’s proven ability to execute complex retrofits with precision, safety, and zero disruption to customer operations.
Scope of Work: End-to-End Equipment Replacement and System Modifications
The comprehensive renovation included:
- Complete replacement of wash deck equipment
- Modifications to the staph barrier wall for enhanced hygiene
- Clean rail system upgrades
- Blanket and small piece folding equipment replacements
On the wash deck, Braun installed:
- (1) Braun 800NMTDPV-6 Medicare Top Side Loading Washer/Extractor
- (2) Braun 400NMTVP-3 Medicare Top Side Loading Washer/Extractors
Utility connections for all new wash deck equipment were replaced with updated services. The original masonry staph barrier wall was removed, modified, and rebuilt with glass panels, improving visibility and maintaining sanitary separation.
Finishing Area Enhancements for Healthcare Compliance and Throughput
On the clean side of the laundry, Braun installed a new high-capacity blanket system:
- Braun PSSF-130 Precision Series Spreader/Feeder
- Braun NIPF3CF/B-130 Precision Series Non-Iron Blanket Folder
- Braun BLPS-1 Precision Blanket Stacker
Additionally, two (2) Braun SPFRFM Precision Series Return-to-Feed Small Piece Folders were installed. To accommodate this finishing equipment, Braun rerouted and upgraded the clean rail system and provided all new utility connections.
Phased Execution with No Interruption to Production
Maintaining full operational capacity throughout the renovation was a critical requirement due to the healthcare laundry’s role in servicing regional healthcare facilities. Braun developed and executed a phased installation schedule, performing work during off-hours and weekends to avoid any service disruptions.
Strict clean/soil separation protocols were enforced throughout the renovation, including during the replacement of the staph barrier wall, to ensure full hygiene compliance at all times.
Project Delivered On-Time and On-Budget
Thanks to strategic planning, close coordination with the healthcare laundry staff, and diligent collaboration with third-party contractors, Braun delivered the renovation on-time and within budget—meeting every performance and compliance benchmark.
“When Braun commits to an installation timeline and scope of work, we take great pride in our diligence, our proven procedures, and the resources that we leverage to complete our projects,” said Adam Thomas, Braun’s Technical Sales Manager. “From single equipment replacements to full plant retrofits, Braun will support all aspects of a customer’s laundry project.”
