Yamamoto Seisakusho Launches New Coin Laundry Machines with 'Ferroute Black' Material, Blending Functional Beauty and Operational Efficiency

Yamamoto Seisakusho Co., Ltd., a comprehensive manufacturer of commercial laundry equipment, has launched a new line of coin-operated laundry machines featuring a fresh design and significantly improved drying functions and maintainability. This model change introduces the new material 'Ferroute Black,' enhancing adaptability to diversifying store designs. For gas dryers, the latest inverter control technology improves drying performance, usability, and maintenance.

The development was driven by the need for diverse store designs and efficient operations. Modern coin laundromats have evolved from simple washing places into design-conscious spaces, such as café-style or urban stores. Simultaneously, rising energy costs and labor shortages have increased demand for energy efficiency and streamlined maintenance. Yamamoto Seisakusho has revamped its products from both a design and technology standpoint to address these issues.

Key features of the new coin laundry machines include:

1. New 'Ferroute Black' Design and Material for a Sophisticated Space
In addition to traditional white and stainless steel, the new 'Ferroute Black' material, with its matte, high-quality texture, has joined the lineup. This Good Design Award-winning material offers excellent corrosion and fingerprint resistance, maintaining its appearance over the long term.

2. New Technology for Improved Drying Performance and Stable Operation
- Dual Inverter Drive: Individually controls the drum and exhaust fan motors via inverters to maximize drying capacity.
- Axial Airflow: A new structure supplies hot air from the rear of the drum, enabling even and speedy drying, which shortens drying times and improves energy efficiency.
- Error Suppression: An automatic rotation correction function detects filter clogs and other issues, suppressing air pressure errors and supporting stable operation.

3. 'Full LCD Touch Panel' for Enhanced User and Owner Convenience
The dryers now feature an LCD panel, improving visibility and operability. For users, it visualizes operation status and supports four languages (Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean) for inbound tourism demand. For owners, it offers intuitive sales tracking and digitizes price displays, significantly reducing the operational burden of replacing sticker labels.

4. Simplified Daily Maintenance
- No Belt Replacement: A direct-drive system connects the motor to the drum, eliminating the V-belt, a common maintenance item. This removes the need for periodic belt adjustments, replacements, and the risk of downtime from snapped belts.
- Redesigned Lint Filter: A new structure allows the filter to be pulled out horizontally, easing the cleaning process. The filter's black color improves visibility of collected debris.
- New Drain Valve: The washer-dryer's drain valve has been redesigned with a larger opening, making it less prone to clogging and easier to clean and inspect.

Furthermore, the dedicated 'Smart Laundry' app helps maximize store profitability. It enables customer-selected options like 'hot water wash' with the 'CAT specification' to increase average spending per customer. It also offers industry-leading features like 'Dynamic Pricing,' which adjusts rates based on usage, and the 'Smaran Purika' mobile prepaid card, differentiating stores from the competition.
