Smartable Laundry servicing hotels in Macau

Following a recent visit to Macau, Liz Lycette from Lycette & Associates took the opportunity to tour the large commercial laundry, Smartable, on Coloane Island.

This huge commercial operation which opened in 2009 services many of the large Hotel operations on the Cotai Strip. Since it commenced operations 4 years ago, Smartable has grown from servicing one hotel to the current 12 hotels using their services.

The 3 Jensen CBW (continuous batch washers) have a total capacity of 7,950 kg of linen per hour! There are 6 more washer extractors with a capacity of 840 kg per hour. The 17 batch dryers which complement the washers have a capacity of 3000 kgs per hour and 3 tumble dryers have a 540 kg /hour capacity.

Big numbers! Over 280 staff run the whole operation, on one shift only with some overtime when the Hotels are full.

This operation also has a uniform and guest laundry dry-cleaning processing plant which has a capacity of processing a mind boggling 6,200 uniforms hourly.

The Smartable Management Team are keen to advise hotels on best practice such as avoiding misuse of linen and linen quality incorporating a component of polyester to reduce wrinkling and prolong linen life.
