SPEED QUEEN: THE BEST PROFESSIONAL WASHING MACHINES ON THE MARKET

The history of the washing machine starts with Jacob Christian Schäffer, its inventor. However, it was only in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries that the machine achieved its full potential. The craftsmen behind these gradual and sometimes radical innovations are quite simply enthusiasts who designed their own inventions: first drum machines, then automation, then ecologically friendly ones…

Among the pioneering brands is Speed Queen, established in 1908 under the auspices of Joe Barlow and John Seeling. Since then, Barlow & Seeling Manufacturing – which later became Speed Queen – has remained at the forefront, producing ever more reliable and efficient machines, with the result that the century-old brand is now part of Alliance Laundry Systems, the largest group of laundry experts in the market.

Speed Queen has been manufactured washing machines for domestic and professional use for over 100 years. All our product lines have one common denominator: a passion for innovation and the quality of the materials used in their construction. Whether you are a hotel manager, the owner of a laundromat, a student or a parent, we offer a unique experience: a perfect wash in record time, this is our aim, one of which we never lose sight.

With a view to constant innovation, ALS has opened a research center in eastern Europe, where the durability of our machines is tested and improved each year.

Speed Queen machines’ performance

All Speed Queen’s products and services have a common denominator:  customer experience, whether it’s an individual doing his laundry in a Speed Queen laundromat or the investor managing a laundry premises.   

Sturdiness and longevity

The machines are built using stainless steel and subjected in the laboratory to extreme conditions. Speed Queen designs machines that are long lasting, able to cope with thousands of cycles without any maintenance.

The design of the washing machines is optimized by computer to extend lifespan, better balance the load and reduce vibration. Sturdy coil springs and shock absorbers, strategically placed, stabilize the machines and absorb vibrations caused by load imbalance. The machines are lighter, sturdier and quieter.

Wash cycle speeds

Cycle times are shorter than ever: in 30 minutes, our machines can wash more than 20 kg of laundry per cycle. The spin speed of Speed Queen machines (G200, G400 or G350 factor depending on the model) considerably reduces drying times, and thus also laundromats’ electric bills.

Ecologically friendly machines

Speed Queen washer-extractors use little energy. They are designed to wash clothes thoroughly without damaging textiles and with optimal water consumption. Linens are cleaner and better maintained: you keep them in good condition for longer.

Cutting-edge technology

The controls of Quantum Gold &Quantum Silver machines are amongst Speed Queen’s numerous innovations. They allow, amongst other things, networking of machines, off-site management, dozens of programme combinations of cycles and water levels, a special cycle for loyal customers, fast and simple PC programming, price setting on the basis of performance and time slots…

A wide range of machines

To meet the needs of its customers, Speed Queen offers a wide range of washer-extractors with different capacities: 8 kg, 9kg, 15 kg, 18 kg… as well as models with rigid base (hard mount) or suspension (soft mount) machines.
