Laundry chutes are designed to manage laundry in any multi-story establishment, allowing for quick and easy disposal of laundry by occupants and safe and efficient removal of that laundry via chute by the caretaking staff. DownWaste® chutes are technically superior, clean, quiet, and environmentally conscious solution to laundry disposal.
Hotels, student accommodations, serviced apartments, eldercare units, hospitals can greatly benefit from laundry chutes.
The laundry chutes can be with electric strike doors or completely mechanical doors. While the mechanical doors without the electric controls practically the same, it is not convenient to limit the access to these doors instantly. In other words, laundry chutes with electric strike allows instant locking of the doors at other floors when one doors is opened, when the receptive rolltainer is full, or during electricity cuts or cases of fire.
Handling of bulky laundry can be a challenging task for a hotel or a building. Without a laundry chute, the hard work can be more than just a hassle. Bringing the laundry to the laundry collection room from a service elavator would increase the labor and energy costs dramatically.
Laundry chutes are shaped from stainless steel 304 or 316, with a minimum thickness of 1.5mm, fully factory-assembled and all linear joints are automatic continuous TIG welded. The intake doors are bolted in place on throats formed into the chute. All chute sections shall flash inside the sections below and there are no bolts, clips, or other projections inside the chute to snag the flow of material.
Pre-positioned support frames assure proper intake levels and there are no expansion joints in the chute between all support joints.
Discharge offsets, where required, are reinforced and separately supported in the impact area.
