What is a tunnel washer?
A tunnel washer, also known as a continuous batch washer, is a large-scale industrial washing system consisting of multiple chambers arranged in a linear configuration. Linen moves through each chamber sequentially, with each section performing a different washing function (pre-wash, main wash, rinse, etc.). This continuous flow design allows for high-volume processing with minimal manual handling, making tunnel washers ideal for large industrial laundries.
