Texcare International 2024 was a remarkable success for the JENSEN-GROUP. At our 1,600 square meter booth, we showcased various innovative solutions that captured our visitor’s interest, leading to meaningful conversations. Our automated soiled side sorting systems, innovative washroom technologies as well as finishing solutions for flat linen, towels, workwear, and mats were all highly received. In partnership with Inwatec, we presented the latest advancements in laundry automation, receiving positive responses from our customers and partners.
Automatic soiled side sorting system
A standout feature was the automatic soiled side sorting system with camera technology and AI, showcased in collaboration with Inwatec. This solution sets a new benchmark for efficiency and ergonomics and is anticipated to become the future standard in every laundry. Over 150 automatic sorting systems have already been successfully installed worldwide, confirming that as suppliers, we offer expertise and innovation leadership unique to our industry.
UVClean
Hygiene and efficiency were key topics in the washroom area. UVClean, the chemical-free disinfection method for the double drum section of tunnel washers, was recently granted a patent as well as a hygiene certificate from the renowned German Schubert Hygiene Institute. With UVClean, 90% of the bacteria in the double drum is eliminated after just 30 minutes, going up to 99.9% after 90 minutes. JENSEN tunnel washers also feature the shortest transfer times in the industry, thanks to the open drum design without scoops. The entire batch is transported to the next compartment in just four seconds by the Archimedean helix. The updated and fresh look of the machine visualisation was very well received by all clients. Every machine can be operated from any other PPC in the wash line thanks to compound redundancy.
New RailExpress
For material handling, JENSEN introduced the new RailExpress, a streamlined software solution for full functional control of basic to moderately complex Futurail systems. Laundries can continue to benefit from Futurail’s well-known hardware strengths, like durability, longevity, and increased uptime with a control system that offers excellent value for money. The AutoCalibration feature for Futurail’s sorting bins with its single push button calibration ensures a steady, correct loading of the tunnel washers – with no underloading and no overloading, which can result in incorrect dosing of chemicals, water consumption, and energy. This can significantly contribute to a laundry’s carbon footprint and will soon become an industry standard.
New MetriV loading station for garments
Just in time for Texcare, the new MetriV loading station for garments was launched, a streamlined entry-level workstation that combines a robust design with impressive speed and high capacity. For comparison, it was showcased alongside our MetriQ, a high-end loading station featuring built-in comfort and the unique buttons-to-the-front design. The MetriQ is considered the most ergonomic loading station for garments in the industry.
THOR.Towel feeder
Other exciting innovations on display were our range of flexible towel feeding systems, including manual, automated and even fully automated solutions: In the automated solution, a THOR.Towel separated and transferred towels to an operator who can speed up the feeding process by up to 83%, achieving 1’100 pieces/hour compared to 600 PPOH in a fully manual process. The THOR.Towel feeder is particularly popular in Japan, where workforce is scarce, and this exhibition marks the solution’s first appearance at an exhibition.
BLIZZ robot for fully automated towel feeding
The BLIZZ robot for fully automated towel feeding came with a redesign that allows for more buffer inside the machine, ensuring a stable performance throughout the day – handling 500 small and large pieces in mixed batches.
New Silverline folder
A significant highlight at the booth was the three state-of-the art flatwork finishing lines, all connected to an impressive Jenway transport and storage system. The Jenway conveyor system equipped with track-and-trace and various sorting and eject technologies connected three ironer lines with Express Pro and KliQ feeders followed by our new Silverline folder with reversing conveyors and space-saving inline stackers. Demonstrations at the booth showed a peak production of 2000 sheets per hour in two lanes on the new Express Pro feeder thanks to four feeding stations for fast cornerless feeding.
Jensens exhibition presence was rounded off by an excellent range of services. Visitors were able to find out about services and spare parts at the Aftermarket Desk, while our Head of Corporate Sustainability, Carmela Crippa, engaged in discussions about sustainable solutions, CO₂ reduction, and how our technologies can help customers achieve their ESG goals efficiently and effectively.
Great atmosphere at the Jensen booth
The atmosphere at the Jensen booth was highly appreciated by their visitors, as were their booth parties. The guests felt completely at ease, fully enjoying the unique JENSEN spirit. This relaxed atmosphere facilitated valuable connections and engaging conversations. To top it off, outside the booth, the renowned cocktail party with around 800 guests was another memorable moment, providing a perfect setting to network and celebrate the success of Texcare together.
Together we create the future of laundry automation and shaping the industry in a sustainable way
Jensen is very satisfied with how the exhibition turned out and would like to thank all visitors who came to their booth. Together, we look forward to creating the future of laundry automation and shaping the industry in a sustainable way.
