At J.H. Stuckey Distributing we listen to the concerns and needs of our on-premise and commercial laundry customers before ever starting a project. Prior to outfitting a new laundry plant, or an existing one, we tour the facility, watch production, examine workflow, evaluate laundry design and examine the overall efficiency of the facility. We make recommendations for new equipment based on our customers’ needs and their unique application.

In doing so, we have extensive experience designing and equipping on-premise laundries at athletic facilities, hospitals, nursing homes, health clubs, fire departments, hotels/motels, schools, salons/spas, veterinary clinics, correctional facilities, and industrial laundries, to name a few.

We work with clients to decrease labor and utility costs, improve productivity and streamline the laundry process. Each application is unique …

Athletic Facilities
From professional to college to high school athletics, J.H. Stuckey Distributing works to create a laundry system that meets each client's unique needs. Most facilities are concerned with boosting laundry productivity, while consistently providing clean uniforms, towels, warm-ups and more, with little down time. High-speed, freestanding Continental washer-extractors ensure a consistent clean for game day, using automatic chemical injection and one-touch operation. High-speed extract means more water is removed from each load – significantly shortening dry time and increasing the amount of laundry completed per shift.

Correctional Facilities
Mountains of inmate clothing, blankets, sheets and towels are powered through correctional facility on-premise laundries every day, adding up to millions of pounds per year. With inmates running the laundry equipment, safety and ease of use are essential. With automatic chemical injection and programmable controls, the process is safe, easy and can readily be standardized from unit to unit. Complementing ease of use is ease of maintenance.  Today’s equipment uses fewer moving parts and incorporates a simpler design, resulting in an easier job for prison maintenance.  J.H. Stuckey Distributing ensures more laundry is completed in less time, with less expense, less labor, and a significant reduction in gas, water and electricity usage.

Hotels / Hospitality
Linens, sheets, towels, napkins, and tablecloths make up the bulk of hotel laundry. That’s why J.H. Stuckey Distributing helps hotels and motels do more laundry in less time, using less labor, gas, water and electricity. Not only do our Continental high-speed washers deliver consistent cleaning power, they remove more water from each load than traditional washers – cutting resulting drying time by up to 50 percent. When a crisp, five-star finish is a must, linens can be fed straight from the high-speed washers directly to flatwork ironers without dryer conditioning. With high-speed machines from J.H. Stuckey Distributing, hotels boost productivity, and simultaneously, lower labor and utility costs. More and more hotels are embracing an environmentally responsible “green” approach for their business and marketing plans. Discover how J.H. Stuckey Distributing can help you save money in laundry and linen production by meeting environmental goals related to your laundry operation.

Fire
Soiled firefighter gear is unsafe – exposing firefighters to chemicals, biological agents and particulate matter. Experts agree a highly programmable washer-extractor is a must for proper cleaning of high-tech turnout gear. Continental washer-extractors use advanced microprocessors to combine the exact chemicals, water temperature, rinses and extract speed to meet NFPA and manufacturer’s guidelines.  Freestanding washer designs also make for simple, impact-free installation – without bolts and thick concrete foundations – allowing positioning in even the most difficult of areas.

Heath Care Facilities
Production is critical to hospital and nursing home laundries, as is washer programmability. These facilities clean a variety of items, including sheets, towels, gowns, bed pads and personal items – all of which must be properly cleaned with the appropriate mix of chemicals, mechanical action, number or rinses, extract speed, water temperature and more … With their intuitive microprocessor systems, Continental high-speed washer-extractors can deliver wash cycles so flexible that even advanced applications like Ozone injection can be programmed with just a few touches. Automatic chemical injection and one-touch operation ensure ease of use and a consistent and safe clean!

Veterinary Clinics
Veterinary clinics, which often have a smaller, more concise, on-premise laundry facility, typically require a standard-footprint industrial washer capable of handling a variety of items, including blankets and towels used for bedding, bathing or surgical procedures.  High-speed extract and flexible programmability are critical to a consistent clean and improved productivity. Soiled and contaminated laundry shouldn’t lie around in vet clinics for fear of disease growth and cross contamination. That’s why determining the correct wash application is not only mission critical, but pet critical.

Spas, Salons, Heath Clubs
By quickly and thoroughly cleaning soiled towels, robes and sheets, spas, health clubs and salons ensure a clean, relaxing and healthy environment for their clients. Machine sizing, based on laundry poundage, is critical to ensure the most effective and efficient laundry system for each application. Moreover, high-speed extract and programmability are important to improving production and ease of use.
