We’re proud to share the successful delivery and installation of three new advanced barrier washers at the Cato Manor Regional Laundry facility in KwaZulu-Natal. This milestone marks the beginning of a multi-phase upgrade designed to enhance linen processing capacity and hygiene standards for hospitals across the region.
We take great pride in supporting public healthcare infrastructure through laundry equipment that delivers performance, reliability, and the highest levels of infection control.
The newly installed barrier washers are purpose-built for healthcare environments, offering:
- Complete separation between clean and soiled zones to eliminate cross-contamination
- High-volume throughput to meet growing demand from regional hospitals
- Energy-efficient operation to support sustainability goals
- Robust automation and diagnostics to reduce downtime and improve productivity
Cato Manor Regional Laundry plays a vital role in servicing healthcare facilities throughout KwaZulu-Natal. With linen volumes increasing and infrastructure under pressure, this upgrade represents a major step forward — delivering faster turnaround times, enhanced hygiene and greater operational resilience.
“This project reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting healthcare systems with world-class laundry technology,” says Project Manager, Juandre van Aswegen. “It’s a privilege to work alongside the Department of Health to implement solutions that make a measurable difference to patient care and service delivery.”
Further upgrade phases will see the installation of additional tunnel washers and staff training, positioning Cato Manor as a modern, high-capacity laundry hub for the province.
We remain committed to driving innovation and excellence in laundry solutions — helping our clients meet the demands of today while preparing for tomorrow’s challenges.
