Spencer Systems is Australia’s largest supplier of dry cleaning equipment: dry cleaning machines for every solvent, shirt and garment finishing, presses, spotting and wet cleaning, with the chemicals, spare parts and service to run a plant day in, day out.

Choosing a new dry cleaning machine

The first decision is the solvent, because it determines the machine, the chemistry, the waste handling and the approvals. We supply and service all of the current options, so the advice you get is about what suits your work and your premises rather than what we happen to stock.

• Perchloroethylene machines: the proven solvent, with modern machines built for closed-loop compliance and solvent efficiency.
• Alternative and multi-solvent machines: hydrocarbon and the newer environmentally friendly solvents, practically odourless and gentle on delicate garments.
• Hybrid machines: one machine able to run more than one solvent type, for plants that want flexibility.
• Industrial machines: heavy-duty units for high-volume workwear, uniform and textile operations.

Alongside the machine, filters, distillation aids and solvent management accessories extend solvent life and cut waste, which is one of the biggest running costs in a dry cleaning plant.

Wet cleaning

Many dry cleaners now run wet cleaning alongside or instead of solvent cleaning. Kreussler’s Lanadol system cleans wool, silk and structured garments in water with results that match dry cleaning and none of the solvent handling. We supply the machines, the chemistry and the training.

Finishing: where the quality shows

Shirt machines

Sankosha blow-tension shirt finishers and press finishing units, with collar and cuff presses to complete the line.

Presses, formers and toppers

Barbanti garment presses, jacket formers, pants toppers and puff irons for suits, coats and dresses.

Tables, irons and spotting

Battistella ironing tables, professional steam irons and spotting tables from Sankosha and Barbanti.

Packing

Bagging machines and finishing tunnels for plants where throughput matters.

Chemicals, spotting agents and consumables

Dry cleaning detergents and solvent additives, professional spotting agents for every stain family, hangers, covers, bags and tags, delivered Australia-wide. Dry cleaners can order online at their own pricing.

Installation, compliance and service

A dry cleaning machine installation involves solvent handling, ventilation, steam or electric heating, compressed air and, increasingly, council and environmental conditions. Our own installers manage the lot, and our technicians provide programmed maintenance, breakdown repairs and boiler compliance servicing afterwards, with spare parts stocked locally.
