Our Suppliers Pellerin Milnor

Milnor is a leading manufacturer in the commercial laundry machinery industry, and after nearly 75 years of expansion and development, Milnor has maintained its roots. At its heart, Milnor is a family company. Founded by W.A. Pellerin, wife Mildred, son Norvin, and brother-in-law A.W. “Jack” Walsdorf in 1947, Pellerin Milnor Corporation began manufacturing 20″ extractors. From humble beginnings, Milnor (trade name derived from MILdred and NORvin) gained respect and a valued reputation for durable and efficient laundry machinery. Milnor understands that it relies on customers for our continued success. The most reputable accomplishments that have kept Milnor at the head of the industry have all been customer-inspired innovations. Milnor equipment range in size and purpose and serve a spectrum of markets. Milnor offers washer-extractors from 25-700 lb. capacity (11-317 kg), automated tunnel washing systems for processing 7,000 lb. (3,175 kg) per hour or more, dryers, material handling systems, and laundry computer networks. Milnor machines have a proud legacy of durability. Each one is individually tested and carefully inspected before leaving the factory. Every transaction is a commitment to our customers, an opportunity to work for the people who keep the industry moving. The Minnesota Chemical Co is proud to be a dealer for 56 years. Milnor machinery is available exclusively through an international network of authorized dealers. We along with the other dealers work hand-in-hand with Milnor to satisfy the worldwide demand for Milnor machines while maintaining the important localized link to the customer.

Supply Ideas by Chris R&B Wire Products was started in 1946 in a small tin shed in Maywood, California. Shortly thereafter, the “Self Service Laundry” industry was born. Responding to the need for personal laundry transportation, R&B invented the first wire laundry cart. Since then, R&B’s research team has been responding to the needs of their customers by expanding their product offerings to sewn, tubular and roto-molded products. Three generations later, R&B continues to manufacture hundreds of high quality products used throughout many different industries to make material handling jobs a breeze.

Service Tips By Ed Replacing a Belt 0n A Top Load Washer

Machine runs but won’t agitate: Check to see if transmission is locked, replace. Check for broken belt - if belt is broken, replace. Machine runs but won’t spin: Check for clothes stuck between tubs, check if upper or lower bearing is locked, check to see if drain pump is clogged – clean, check for broken belt. Squealing Belt: Check if the machine is out of balance – rebalance load. Check if idler spring is missing or broken. New machine – run machine through 4-5 cycles to loosen belt, if that doesn’t work, replace belt.
