We have many solutions from sorting to monorail systems all built to suit your buisness requirements
Most laundries need to pre-sort soiled items prior to washing to achieve best washing performance and simplify post-wash handling and processing.
This can be a labour-intensive process.
We have several solutions, from simple sorting into roll cages through to various dynamic sorting systems and automatic loading of monorail bag systems.

The AutoMotion system manufactured and supplied by Innova is a third generation system based on practical experience of all previous designs. It represents the best design practice for cost-effectiveness, ease of use, longevity and trouble-free operation.
All our systems incorporate PLC based control systems designed to give reliability and ease of operation, and maximise efficiency for each system, whatever your application. There is no one solution, our installations are customised to every site.
All our systems are based upon our unique design of extruded aluminium rail, which is anodised to increase resistance to wear. For areas subject to high potential wear we can incorporate a specially designed removable stainless steel rail section, to dramatically increase the life of the rail. An equally significant part of the system is our trolley, incorporating nylon self-guiding wheels that both minimise rail wear and are free-running.
Linen that arrives at the laundry in bags can be hung directly onto a primary monorail system for storage at high level.
This becomes a dynamic storage system that deliver the bags to the sorting station. It allows the laundry to process the linen in the best sequence to maximise efficiency.
Processing can be by customer in the order required or according to specific circumstances.
Classified monorails provide storage of sorted linen and deliver the linen to the washing machines.
Loads typically range from 35 kg to 100 kg per bag.Options range from manual loaded systems with mechanical weighing right through to multi-station honeycomb sorting systems integrated with automatic loading of the bags.
The AutoMotion bags include our unique rope catch design, bag closing method and tilt mechanism.
Cleanwork systems provide an effective means of handling (transporting) linen from after the drying process through to the loading point of ironers and folders.
This allows the work in progress linen to be kept clear of the laundry floor then to be delivered to its destination without any manual handling.
It also acts as a buffer between the drying equipment and the finishing processes to provide an efficient, constant flow of work.
Additional equipment can be incorporated to segregate individual items (pickers) or to break up the conditioned linen, depending on requirements.
Most laundry handling systems require belt conveyors at one or more stages. These can be flat, inclined or a mixture of both to any length required.
All conveyors use self-tracking belts with mechanical or bonded joints. All belt conveyors use metal skid plates and can be made from powder-coated steel or stainless steel.
Using our experience of laundry applications, we can design from the simplest to the most complex of systems incorporating retracting conveyors and bends. These can be integrated with pickers, shrink-wrappers, etc.
Innova can build these into any existing handling systems or provide standalone cost-effective belt conveyor systems in any context, for instance for finished goods handling.
Linen that arrives at the laundry in bags can be hung directly onto a primary monorail system for storage at high level.

Processing can be by customer in the order required or according to specific circumstances.
For full automation, a computer control system is required.
Innova Systems integrate one of these into each new laundry system they install, according to the needs and preferences of the individual client.
Innova's up-to-date control systems can also be added when upgrading existing systems because they can interface with all known laundry equipment and software.
The control system can be extended beyond the functions of the conveyor system to include monitoring, display and reporting on other equipment and operations in the laundry. These could include elements of functionality such as the efficiency of tunnel washers, towel folders or ironers, through to the performance of individual operators.
