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
