Mahone Bay Nursing Home

A newly opened 96 bed long-term care home surrounded by a beautiful, park-like setting.

Scope of Work

East Coast Laundry handled the project from concept to completion:

• Laundry room design & consultation

• Supply of all new industrial laundry equipment

• Complete installation & startup

• Staff training

• Ongoing service, maintenance and parts support

The project was fully completed in Summer 2024.

Equipment Installed

To ensure maximum throughput, durability, and efficiency, East Coast Laundry installed a full suite of industry-leading commercial equipment:

Milnor 60 lb Classic Washer Extractors - Model: 30022 T6X (x3 units)

Renowned for reliability, water-saving RinSave® technology, and long equipment life cycles.

Huebsch 75 lb Tumble Dryers - Model: HT075NFN (x3 units)

High-efficiency, high-capacity dryers optimized for speed and reduced operating costs.

They required:

• High throughput

• Energy-efficient equipment

• Infection-control support

• Durable carts and workflow solutions

• A system that would last decades with minimal downtime

East Coast Laundry provided full consultation during the design phase, followed by complete installation and equipment commissioning.

Key Features of the Solution

• Industry-leading commercial washers & dryers

• Healthcare-grade ozone disinfection system

• Reliable finishing and labeling tools

• Complete cart & workflow setup

• Operational training for staff

• Atlantic Canada’s best service and support team available whenever needed

What Made This Project Unique?

The Aquawing Ozone Injection System

A standout feature of this installation was the AquaWing AF-Series Ozone System—a powerful addition that significantly enhances cleanliness and infection control.

Here are the most important advantages:

Variable Ozone – Continuous, Controlled Injection

Aquawing injects ozone continuously throughout the wash cycle. Its VO3 Validated Ozone Module monitors ozone levels at each washer to ensure the correct concentration is reached—and maintained—for true disinfection.

Clinically Validated Disinfection Power

Aquawing’s patented Inter-Fusor technology is backed by real healthcare-grade validation.

It is clinically proven to kill:

• MRSA, C. diff, Aspergillus niger, HIV, Hepatitis, and And other dangerous pathogens

The AF-Series delivers a 99.999% bacteria kill rate, making it one of the most effective systems available for healthcare laundry.

Efficiency & Fabric Protection

Ozone also allows for lower wash temperatures, which leads to reduced energy consumption, longer linen life, shorter cycle times, and better stain removal.

For a long-term care home, these benefits compound quickly.

Results & Benefits

The Mahone Bay Nursing Home now operates one of the most modern and efficient laundry rooms in Atlantic Canada.

Faster Cycle Times

Milnor’s RinSave® water-saving technology accelerates rinses and reduces water use.

Improved Throughput

With three 60 lb washers and three 75 lb dryers, staff can process large volumes quickly and reliably.

Healthcare-Grade Linen Disinfection

AquaWing ozone provides unmatched pathogen reduction and cleaner, fresher laundry.

Energy Savings

Lower wash temperatures + Energenics lint filtration + efficient dryers = long-term operating cost reduction.

Reduced Downtime
