Medico Healthcare Linen Service recently upgraded its equipment at its Long Beach, CA, plant. The upgraded equipment increased the facility’s throughput and capacity, as well as its commitment to eco-friendly operations.

Medico installed five brand-new 450-lb. JENSEN L-Tron DTX dryers. The company has seen tremendous growth at the facility and needed to increase its throughput and capacity, especially in the dryer department, noted Greg Shames, director of operations for American Textile Maintenance, the parent company of Medico.

“These dryers dry much faster than our previous dryers, and save about 35% gas while doing so,” Shames said in a statement sent via email to Textile Services Weekly. “Medico is always looking at ways to reduce our carbon footprint, and the new dryers were able to increase capacity while reducing our utility consumption.”
