Prison and Correctional Facility Laundry

Heavy-duty laundry requires heavy-duty equipment and Dexter can provide the equipment you need to remove the toughest stains from your toughest residents. Your laundry needs to be durable, and reliable to keep linens and clothing clean---and to minimize the spread of diseases that can occur in congregate living.

• Energy efficient. With many correctional facilities facing limited budgets, finding cost effecting laundry equipment is important. With extraction speeds of 100 to 200 G-Force, Dexter washers can remove more water cutting your drying time and gas costs significantly. A sump-free design reduces water usage and Dexter’s variable frequency drive controls electrical usage allows upi to cut your laundry’s utility expenses by as much as 60%.

• Ease of use and lock out ability on controls. Since inmates often operate the laundry equipment, our Dexter laundry equipment is easy to use and offers lock-out safety features. Dexter’s durable design and easy programming is ideal for correctional facility laundries including those where inmates operate the laundry equipment. Easy to use and with built in safety features, Dexter’s washers and dryers can help you maintain longevity on laundry and short, adjustable cycles allow for maximum productivity.

• Ease of installation, fits through a standard 36” doorway.  Dexter equipment is easy to install. Single gas, electrical and venting connections simplify installation and extra large lint screens are easy to clean and maintain. All Dexter equipment fits through a standard 36” doorway and stacked units are available for areas with limited space.

• Automatic Chemical Injection. To ensure the right cleaning chemicals and softeners are used at the appropriate water temperature and cycle, Dexter offers automatic chemical injection capabilities on their industrial washers—an essential feature for proper removal of stains and other contaminants. Auto injection eliminates the need for adding chemicals manually and chemical overuse and waste—simplifying operation for inmates and keeping dangerous chemicals out of reach. It ensures items are properly cleaned every time! Typically, automatic chemical injection can result in a significant savings in detergent costs.

• Made in the U.S.A., built with Union labor and Employee owned. Because many correctional facilities are government owned, buying American made is very important and often required! All Dexter washers and dryers are made in our factory in Fairfield, Iowa with union labor, and our company is 100% employee owned.

• Durable, “Overbuilt” Designs. Laundry equipment in the correctional environment needs to be able to take abuse and Dexter is more than ready for the task. All Dexter laundry equipment is built using heavy-duty, over-sized, commercial rated components. Our machines are designed to run efficiently, continuously, 24 hours per day. Cycle after cycle, year after year.
