As a coin laundry owner, you face many challenges today. The rising cost of energy to operate your equipment is at an all time high. Space for new stores is limited because of steep square footage costs. Your competitors are moving in closer and closer...How do you combat these problems and still remain profitable? The solution is simple: Invest in a Bock centrifuge.

In just three minutes, Bock centrifuges will remove enough remaining moisture from a wash load to cut dry time in half. When you compare the costs of running a Bock for three minutes (it's only one penny) to the cost of running your dryer 10-15 minutes (a lot more that one penny), it makes sense (and cents!) to use a Bock. A Bock makes you more efficient...you get more people through your store in less time- NO MORE DRYER BOTTLENECK!!

You increase your capacity with the same amount of space. This creates opportunities for you, such as increasing your drop off business and offering better service for your customers. And better customer service is the key. If you want to attract and keep new business, you need to offer something your competition doesn't have: The ability to dry clothes in half the amount of time. The option of doing laundry in a Laundromat without waiting for a dryer. To have cleaner and softer clothes. (A Bock extracts both water and suds missed by the rinse cycle, making clothes cleaner and softer to the touch.) Customers will drive many miles (and pass many competitors) to reach the store that offers these amenities.

Model 216 Bock's favorite! Requires virtually no maintenance or parts replacement due to its innovative direct drive system. The compact design saves spaces and saves you money.
Model 316 The classic Bock!! Operates on three phase or single phase electricity. The durable hydraulic drive system allows for unlimited starts and stops.
Model 506 For those applications where bigger is better, the 606 meets your largest needs! Also available in single phase.

The following are the most common questions asked by coin laundry owners about Bock centrifuges.

Will a Bock take income away from dryers?

No, a Bock will compliment your washers and dryers. When your store is running at capacity, your dryers are always in use. A bock will allow more people to use your dryers, plus create additional revenue from your other equipment. If you looks at profitability, you make 49 cents out of every 50 cents put in a Bock. What do you make on a dryer?

How much money can I expect to make with a centrifuge?

Consider this payback method: at a modest 15 turns per day (remember, most stores have only one Bock-- not twenty), and at 365 days per year, a single Bock will produce $2,682.75. ($.49 x 15 x 365). At this rate, you'll pay for the machine in two years. These are conservative figures.

What if I only have single phase electricity?

No problem! We offer two different models that can be wired for single phase. By the way, Bock Engineered Products is the only manufacturer of single phase centrifuges in the country.

Are centrifuges safe?

Yes!! Bock centrifuges are designed with safety in mind. The lid is locked at the front of the machine whenever the basket is spinning. A programmable controller ensures that if for any reason the safety system is inoperable, the machine will not run.

How do I promote the Bock to my customers?

The best way to promote it is by offering your consumers free use for the first week or two. During this time, you or your attendant should educate the customer on how to use it, and show how much water and suds are extracted after three minutes of spinning. Put a bucket under the drain, and let the customers see for themselves. A Bock will extract about a gallon of water out of a full load!! After they try it once, they'll come back again and again.

Will the Bock set wrinkles in my permanent press?

Permanent press items will appear to be wrinkled after spinning in a Bock, but these are not "set" wrinkles. Only heat can set a wrinkle, and Bock centrifuges do not use heat. After a few minutes in the dryer, the wrinkles will disappear. Bock centrifuges are ideal for heavier fabrics, such as cotton and terry.
