The Truth About Lint Build Up
What Is Lint Build Up?
The amount of LBU (lint build up) is relevant to the
volume of laundry being completed over time.
The volume of laundry equals LBU.
Example:
In an institutional, high volume laundry setting where loads
can reach between 18-27 loads daily, As a result, the 4 Point
Lint Removal Service should be performed every 6 months.
Standard LBU
- Normal energy costs
- LBU has not effected the dryer efficiencies
- Dryer components, normal wear & tear
Disruptive LBU
- Dryer has lost efficiencies – services required
- Dryer requires additional drying time per load
- Shut downs & repairs
Damaging LBU
- Dryer has lost sufficient efficiencies /
high operating costs - The excessive LBU has highly effected the
dryer efficiency - Loss laundry production/additional costs
Hazardous LBU (Starts At Damaging LBU)
- Dryer poses a high risk for a dryer fire
- Dryer cycles require excessive additional time per load
- Loss laundry production/additional costs
- Shut downs & repairs
- Excessive static exposure
- Laundry working environment is very warm
