More Than a Train Set – Laundry Success Story: University Hospitals Sussex

For most people, a hospital laundry is an invisible engine quietly keeping things running. But without it, hospitals can’t function. At University Hospitals Sussex, where over 240,000 pieces of linen are processed each week, efficiency and reliability are absolutely essential. At the heart of the operation is Kannegiesser’s Supertrack monorail bag system, which keeps everything moving smoothly from soiled to clean. “I think of it as a giant train set,” says David Smith, Laundry Production Manager. But this Supertrack is much more than that – it’s a vital part of keeping hospitals running smoothly and patients cared for. Based at St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester, the laundry doesn’t just serve one facility—it supports four hospitals across the trust, including Worthing, Princess Royal in Haywards Heath, and Royal Sussex County in Brighton. To keep up with that scale, the team relies on Supertrack including the Servolift and EasySort system to streamline processes, improve safety, and reduce manual handling. https://www.kannegiesser.de   / kannegiesser     / kannegiesser_deutschland
