Laundry Ozone Disinfection System

The Intelligent Laundry Ozone System

PHS Laundryserv’s unique Laundryguard O3 Laundry Ozone System can help you ensure that all laundry is thoroughly disinfected.

Using proven technology it safely and effectively kills bacteria, viruses and superbugs such as MRSA and Clostridium Difficile in all wash cycles. And because the Laundryguard O3 system doesn’t use high temperatures or harsh chemicals, it’s suitable for use on all fabrics - even delicates.

This powerful disinfection system is the ultimate in laundry infection control and works by adding ozone into the wash cycle. Extensively tested in real laundry situations by NHS laboratories, the system has proven scientific backing that it destroys both MRSA and C. diff, as well as other bacteria, viruses and moulds during the laundry process.

Laundryguard O3 is a completely automated laundry disinfection system which removes the risk of operator error associated with traditional thermal disinfection or chemical dosage techniques.

The Laundryguard O3 system also has the option of a fully tailored software package, which monitors the wash cycle and records crucial information, providing a clear audit trail that disinfection has taken place on each wash cycle. This information is stored and can be printed if required.

How does laundry ozone disinfection work?

Ozone is a completely natural, yet unstable molecule, and it’s this instability that‘s key to its powerful disinfection properties. The ozone molecule is made up of three oxygen atoms, and as the ozone naturally reverts back to oxygen, it oxidises and therefore destroys any micro-organism it comes into contact with including bacteria, viruses & moulds. Ozone has been used as a key element in disinfection and purification for many years across many industries, including the treatment of bottled and mains water and in food manufacture.

Additional laundry benefits

As well as the principal benefits of thorough disinfection, the ozone from the Laundryguard O3 system also provides a number of additional secondary benefits including

Reduced drying time: ozone helps to open the textiles fibres, allowing more water to be removed in the spin cycle, so the laundry requires less time in the dryer.
Fresher smelling fabrics and a fresher smelling laundry: ozone creates the “smell of fresh air” (like you get after a thunderstorm) and in a laundry it does the same - it leaves fabric smelling fresh and clean, and helps to deodorise the laundry environment.
Improved fabric softness: as the ozone helps to open and plump up the fibres, so fabrics feel softer.
Reduced costs on both your washing and drying: as the wash water doesn’t need to be heated to thermal disinfection temperatures and the drying times are reduced this helps to reduce energy consumption and lower your costs.
