Commercial Laundry Equipment Supplier and Integrator, Philippines

What commercial laundry equipment does JOHOB supply?

JOHOB supplies and integrates commercial and industrial laundry equipment nationwide: washer extractors, tumble dryers, flatwork ironers, presses, chemical dosing systems, water softeners, and steam boilers to power the flatwork line. We supply the equipment plus the water tank, booster pump, steam, and electrical infrastructure that makes it work as one integrated system.

Commercial laundry is not a product category we are entering cold. It is the industry where JOHOB has its deepest documented delivery record. We have supplied the booster pump systems that hold wash-line pressure steady through peak cycles, the steam trap and flexible hose packages that keep flatwork ironers fed with dry steam, and the bucket elevator that feeds a rice-hull-fired boiler powering a flatwork line at a major Metro Manila laundry operation. That work sits alongside our documented 500-bed commercial laundry buildout in Taguig, where the complete water infrastructure went from purchase order to commissioned system in ten weeks.

What makes laundry equipment different from a generic machinery purchase is the utility load around it. A washer extractor is only as good as the water pressure feeding it. A flatwork ironer is only as fast as the steam supply behind it. A dryer bank pulls gas or steam capacity that has to be planned, not assumed. Because JOHOB already supplies water storage tanks, booster pump systems, and steam and boiler systems, we quote the machines and their supporting utilities as one scope instead of leaving you to coordinate three contractors.

Which machines do we install and integrate?

Our laundry equipment scope covers the four categories most commercial and industrial laundries use daily: washer extractors from 20 to 200 lbs capacity, tumble dryers gas-fired or steam-heated, flatwork ironers from 800mm to 3200mm bed width, and supporting equipment including chemical dosers, water softeners, RO polishing units, and steam boilers. Single machines or full-line turnkey packages.

Washer extractors come in hard-mount configurations, which cost less but need a proper foundation, and soft-mount configurations, which spin faster, extract more water, and can sit on upper floors. The choice affects your dryer sizing directly: higher extraction means less residual moisture and shorter dry cycles. Dryers split between gas-fired units, which run cheaper where a gas line is available, and steam-heated units, which make sense when a boiler is already carrying the flatwork load. Flatwork ironers are specified by bed width and roll count against your peak flatwork volume, and they are the hungriest steam consumers in the building, which is why we treat the ironer and the boiler as one decision rather than two purchases. Supporting equipment rounds out the line: programmable chemical dosing for repeatable wash quality, and water softening or RO polishing to protect the boiler and improve rinse results, which we cover in depth under water treatment.

How do we size a laundry equipment package?

Sizing starts with your daily kg linen throughput and shift schedule. From there we back-calculate wash capacity (roughly one washer per 200 kg per shift), dryer capacity matched to washer output, ironer bed width based on peak flatwork volume, and steam boiler load in calories per kg linen. Water and pressure infrastructure sizing follows separately from the machine specification.

The sizing conversation begins with two numbers: how many kilograms of linen you process per day, and how many hours you run. A 6,000 kg per day operation on a single 12-hour shift needs a very different machine mix from the same tonnage spread across two shifts. From throughput we work backwards. Wash capacity comes first, sized so the washer bank clears the daily load with headroom for rewash and peak days. Dryer capacity is matched to actual washer output, accounting for extraction efficiency, because an undersized dryer bank turns your washers into queue managers. Ironer bed width is set by your flatwork mix: an operation that is mostly sheets and duvet covers needs wider beds than one dominated by towels, which skip the ironer entirely. Steam load is computed last, aggregating the ironer, any steam dryers, and wash-water heating into a boiler specification with a sensible margin.

We put the sizing math in writing as part of the quotation, the same way our booster pump sizing guide shows the working for pressure systems. You see the assumptions, the formulas, and the resulting specification, so the package can be checked and challenged before anything is ordered.

What water, steam, and electrical infrastructure supports the machines?

Every commercial laundry needs three integrated systems around the machines: water storage plus booster pump for peak wash-cycle demand, sized in liters per kg linen; steam supply from a right-sized boiler with feed water treatment; integrated control panels for each machine plus a master starter section. JOHOB delivers the machines plus all three supporting systems as one package.

The water side is where most new laundries get into trouble. Wash-cycle demand is not smooth: when three washers hit fill stage together, the instantaneous draw can triple the average, and a utility connection that looks adequate on paper starves the line in practice. The fix is on-premise storage sized in liters per kilogram of linen, feeding a booster pump system that holds constant pressure through the peaks. Our commercial laundry industry page walks through the full sizing method, from DOH liters-per-kilogram standards down to tank and pump selection.

The steam side pairs a right-sized boiler with feed water treatment, because scale in a laundry boiler shows up as slow ironers and rising fuel bills long before it shows up as a breakdown. The electrical side is the part most machine vendors leave to others: each machine needs its own control panel, and the room needs a master starter section with properly sized protection. Because integrated control panels for mechanical systems are already part of our scope, the panels arrive matched to the machines instead of being improvised on site during commissioning week.

Why choose JOHOB over a single-brand distributor?

Single-brand distributors sell you the machine and hand off water, steam, and electrical to other contractors. That means three warranties, three points of accountability, and coordination gaps at commissioning. JOHOB sizes and delivers the whole system: machines plus water tank, booster pump, steam boiler, chemical dosing, and control panels. One team, one warranty, one accountable point of contact.

The failure mode of the multi-contractor approach is predictable. The machine vendor commissions the washer and finds the inlet pressure low, which is the pump contractor's problem, who finds the tank outlet undersized, which is the tank supplier's problem, and the punch list becomes a negotiation between three companies while your opening date slips. When one team sized the whole chain, from storage volume through pump curve to machine inlet spec, there is nobody to hand the problem to. It is ours until the line runs at rated throughput.

The proof is in delivered work: the Taguig 500-bed commercial laundry case study documents a 108 cubic meter FRP tank, duplex 11 kW VFD booster system, and hydropneumatic tank hitting a 30,000 kg per day throughput target within 30 days of commissioning. The same accountability model now covers the machines themselves: washer extractors, dryers, ironers, dosing, and the utilities behind them, quoted and delivered as one scope with one warranty conversation.
