Laundry Systems

Milnor’s open-pocket and divided cylinder Staph-Guard washer-extractors boost washroom production in healthcare laundries through innovative cylinder design and a space-saving size. Staph-Guard machines have fewer doors to load and unload the machines compared with a divided cylinder. Goods are loaded in the soiled side through a single inner door and unloaded through one door on the clean side.

Staph-Guard divided cylinder and open-pocket washers prevent cross-contamination, while maintaining the quality of your linens.
