Case Study: The Bidvest Laundry Group achieves lower water use and higher throughput with Milnor PulseFlow Technology

The Bidvest Laundry Group cuts fresh water use to 2.5 L/kg with Pellerin Milnor Corporation

The Bidvest Laundry Group, a leading commercial laundry service provider in South Africa, faced a critical water crisis in Cape Town that imposed severe usage restrictions and high penalties. To continue growing and meet budget commitments, their challenge was to increase production capacity while significantly reducing water consumption and other operating costs. To address this, they worked with Pellerin Milnor Corporation to invest in new, more water-efficient equipment.

Pellerin Milnor Corporation implemented their PulseFlow batch washer technology at the Cape Town facility. This solution provided faster processing and superior water efficiency, achieving fresh water consumption as low as 2.5 L/kg without compromising wash quality. The results included a higher production capacity, improved work flow, and reduced operating costs, allowing the laundry to exceed industry cleanliness standards while navigating the water restrictions.
