More Intensive Operating Cycles Than Domestic Appliances

Industrial laundry and professional cleaning machines operate through much more intensive cycles than their domestic counterparts, sometimes running for several hours a day without interruption. This intensive use accelerates mechanical component wear and creates increased reliability requirements.

Hutchinson therefore applies its decades of expertise in power transmission and vibration control, originally developed for domestic appliances, across these professional markets.

Industrial Laundry & Floor-Care Machines

Industrial laundry places continuous demands on high-capacity washing machines, with every washing and spin cycle generating significant vibration. Hutchinson's compact transmission belts withstand these repeated cycles while helping to limit premature motor wear.

Floor-care machines, such as scrubber-dryers, must remain manoeuvrable while covering large areas in a short time, with their motors and brushing systems operating in constant contact with moisture.

Domestic Appliances

Domestic appliances, including laundry-care equipment, have different priorities, centred on user comfort and energy efficiency. Hutchinson's compact transmission belts improve the energy efficiency rating of washing and drying appliances while also reducing noise.

Hutchinson's patented Stop Fire® system complements this offering by reducing the risk of fires caused by overheating in tumble-dryer motors.
