A barrier washer is an industrial laundry machine designed with a sealed system to prevent cross-contamination between dirty and clean laundry. Commonly used in healthcare facilities, pharmaceutical industries, and other environments with strict hygiene standards, these washers feature separate compartments for loading and unloading soiled and clean laundry. The sealed design ensures that contaminants from soiled items do not come into contact with the cleaned ones, minimizing the risk of spreading infections or contaminants. Barrier washers are an integral part of maintaining high standards of cleanliness and hygiene in facilities where preventing the transfer of pathogens is crucial.
