WSP integrates banding into automated laundry systems

Industrial laundries depend on smooth, reliable processes. From sorting and folding to transport and dispatch, every step needs to work together without slowing production down.

WSP Systems designs and builds customised transport and handling systems for linen and mat laundries. Over the years, the company has worked with many different methods for bundling finished laundry products. For mats, towels and other textiles, banding has consistently proved to be one of the most practical solutions.

By integrating Bandall machines into its systems, WSP can offer customers a complete automated process that ends with secure, consistent bundles ready for handling and distribution.

Keeping rolled mats securely bundled

One of the most demanding applications is mat laundry.

After cleaning, mats are rolled and prepared for dispatch. The rolls need to stay tightly together during internal transport, storage and delivery, without being damaged by the bundling material.

Plastic straps can cut into the surface, while full wrapping often uses more material than necessary. Banding secures the rolled mat with a soft paper or film band, helping it retain its shape without placing excessive pressure on the product.

The result is a neat, stable bundle that is easy to handle and ready for distribution.

A seamless step in the automated process

Based on their experience with various laundries, WSP sees banding as a future-proof bundling solution within the textile processing industry. It's not just a matter of efficiency, but also of reliability. This is precisely what makes it an attractive technology for them to offer within their systems.

Thanks to the partnership with Bandall, they can provide their customers not only with smart transport systems but also with a bundling solution that seamlessly integrates with them.

Banding towels and other laundry products

The same approach also works for towels and other folded textiles.

Large industrial laundries process high volumes of towels every day. Once folded and stacked, the products need to remain together during transport and delivery.

Banding keeps the stack secure using only a narrow strip of material. The bundles remain neat and easy to handle, while the end customer receives a professional-looking pack that can be opened quickly.

This makes banding suitable for a wide range of laundry products, including:

• Rolled mats
• Folded towels
• Bed linen
• Workwear
• Uniforms
• Other stacked textiles

Secure bundles with less packaging

Because banding uses material only where it is needed, it can reduce reliance on plastic straps, bags or full wrapping.

Paper or film bands keep the textiles together without adhesives and without fully enclosing the bundle. This helps laundries reduce packaging material while maintaining the stability required for automated handling and distribution.

For WSP’s customers, the main benefits include:

• Secure bundles of mats and textiles
• Reduced risk of product damage
• Less packaging material
• Consistent automated application
• Easy integration with conveyors and controls
• A neat presentation for the end customer
• Flexible use across different laundry products

A complete solution for industrial laundries

WSP’s experience shows that bundling works best when it is designed as part of the complete laundry process.

By combining its transport and handling systems with Bandall’s modular banding technology, WSP can provide customers with one integrated solution, from product movement to final bundling.

For industrial laundries, this means fewer separate process steps, reliable performance and bundles that are ready for dispatch as soon as they leave the line.
