Speed Queen’s new 55-pound slim line drying tumbler gives vended laundries great extra capacity, while taking up far less space than a standard size 50-pound tumbler. Unlike most tumblers of this capacity, the 55-pound slim line fits through a 36-inch doorway, which makes it the perfect replacement dryer. In addition, its size could be an effective way for stores with less square footage to upgrade and add drying capacity in the process.

This new tumbler follows the lead of Speed Queen’s successful T45 stack tumbler. The 55 draws its space-saving cabinet design from the stack and also utilizes its highly efficient axial airflow process. Axial airflow ensures all heated air is utilized in the drying process, coming in contact with laundry at the optimum point in the tumble action.

While compact size alone makes the 55 a groundbreaking product for the coin market, its efficiency will have laundry owners taking further notice. Based on in-house testing, the 55-pound tumbler has outperformed 50-pound units in drying speed and utility efficiency.

One of the more useful products for laundromats is
the Universal Coin Lock.This product has been around
since the mid-1920’s. It has seen a resurgence in its acceptability and usefulness in today’s world.
 
  SECURITY IS THE BIG ISSUE TODAY!
 
Many laundry operators are hesitant to open their restrooms to the public.  And they have some reasonable justification for their point of view.  Vagrants, vandals, other undesirable elements can make it nearly impossible to allow general, unlimited entry to the restrooms.
 
The Coin Lock allows you to provide a convenient way to meet your customer’s basic needs.  After all, you have them for a long period of time and they will frequently have need of the facility.  This will allow you to control the access to it.
 
The units can be made to accept a quarter, or to accept a token, or to accept both.  This allows the operator to control who is using the facility and to restrict access if necessary.
 
Attended facilities can offer tokens to patrons.Unattended laundries can use units that accept a quarter for entrance, and generate some revenue to offset operating cost.
