Birty clothes are getting to be bigger business for Brady’s Sanitone Cleaners of Exeter. New machinery and an as­ sembly line operation were in­ stalled last week at the local plant from over trict. In take prepare for the spring and sum­ mer rush of dry cleaning. Latest additions to Ed Brady’s modern equipment -in the plant are a new press, steam boiler and vacuum pressing unit. The machinery and equipment has all been rearranged, to streamline operations from the time the clothes come in until they are ■packaged and ready to ship. The plant, which employs eight at present, handles over a ton of clothes each week. With the influx of personnel at RCAF Centralia and the increased de­ mand during spring and sum­ mer, plant owner Ed Brady es­ timates he will require a night shift in order to maintain reg­ ular service. The assembly-line operation and the new machinery will speed up production of the plant, An overhead pipe conveyor system carries the clothes from the cleaning room to the spot­ ting machine, pressers, assembly and packaging units of the plant. When the clothes come over the counter, they are bundled and weighed and sorted into wools, silks and other categories. From there, the dirty gar­ ments go to the cleaning room where they are subjected to cleaning solvent and sanitone in a revolving machine. From the cleaner, the clotheB go to ’ the extractor which uses centrifugal force to get out the solvent, Then to the dryer which deodorizes the clothes. Different tyes of cloth require various times, in these processes. One of the biggest headaches of deodor­ izing is the shoulder pads in both men’s and women’s gar­ ments. Idle heavy pads soak up the cleaning fluid and it takes a great amount of drying to get the odors out of the core of the pad. Next step is the spotter where forced steam drives out heavier spots of dirt or stains that aren’t caught in the general cleaning. A spotting gun sprays the steam in a concentrated stream on the stain and quickly removes it. . From here, the clothes go to either the “heavy” pressers — for wools, trousers, coats etc.— to handle soiled garments the 15 depots that serve 14,000 people in this dis- addition, the* plant will on a night shift shortly to or the silk pressers where cloth steam pads are used to avoid shininess or excessive pressure. The vacuum pressing unit re­ places a steam unit the plant has had. The new machine gives a more efficient operation, a better set crease and a longer lasting press to the garments. The clothes are pushed along the conveyor to the packager from where they go to the truck delivery department or the plant front office, The plant’s 15 agencies range from Lucan in the south to Grand Bend in the west, Zurich, the and Hensall and Seaforth in north and Dublin, Staffa Cromarty in the east. Brady’s Sanitone Cleaners is in its sixth year of operation. The plant was opened by Ed Brady on September 3, 19 4G, and it’s been growing ever since. On the staff are Harold “Bud” Preszcator who cleans, spots and makes deliveries; Eunice Pen- hale, front office girl and ship­ per; Audrey Campbell, who handles invoicing and sorting; Norma Snell, silk finishing, Pearl McLeod, clerical; Ken Brown, John Takes and Emerson King, pressing and heavy finish­ ing.
