Otek Ozone Systems for South African Commercial Laundries.
Otek Sustainable Laundry Solutions supplies and supports the OTEK ozone laundry system an advanced technology designed to transform on‑premises and commercial laundry operations across South Africa. By dramatically reducing utility costs and environmental impact, OTEK offers a smarter, more sustainable way to run your laundry.
Site Survey for Ozone Laundry Equipment
With our cost‑effective rental options, installing an OTEK system typically results in immediate savings, as the reduction in utilities is greater than the monthly rental fee. To confirm this, we conduct a detailed site survey before installation. This includes assessing:
- Machine capacity (kg)
- Current wash programs
- Daily and weekly wash volumes
- Chemical usage and water temperature requirements
Using this information, we calculate projected savings and determine the payback period for rental or outright purchase.
OTEK Installation
Installing the OTEK ozone system takes around one hour and does not require any changes to your existing plumbing or electrical setup. The system connects externally to your commercial front‑loading washing machine and operates with a standard 240V power supply. OTEK is compatible with all commercial front‑loaders, regardless of brand or size, but is not designed for top‑loading or domestic machines.
Chemical Optimisation for Ozone Washing
OTEK systems are used across every sector from hospitality and healthcare to government and industrial laundries. During installation, we work closely with your chemical supplier to optimise formulas for cold‑water ozone washing.
Typical adjustments include:
- Switching stain remover to chlorine, which performs better in cold water
- Reducing alkali, break, and sour dosages
- Removing softener entirely, as ozone naturally softens fibres
These changes improve cleaning performance while lowering chemical costs.
Programming and Staff Training
Your existing wash programs are modified to OTEK‑optimised cold‑water cycles. Heat steps and unnecessary stages are removed to maximise water and energy savings. A hot‑water backup program is also installed to ensure uninterrupted operation in the unlikely event of an ozone system issue.
We provide full training for your team so they understand how the system works, how to operate the updated programs, and how to get the best results from ozone technology.
Ongoing Support and Maintenance
OTEK systems are engineered for long‑term reliability with minimal maintenance requirements. For rental customers, our technicians service the system every six months. We also maintain regular communication with laundry staff and management to ensure smooth operation and immediate support whenever needed.
