AI Commercial Laundry
LG Professional Debuts Advanced Commercial Laundry Line Globally, Featuring AI Core Tech
Anonymous
Key Points
1
Dynamic Ball-Core System uses a gyro sensor to detect and automatically correct imbalances inside the drum, reducing vibration and noise during high-speed spinning.
2
AI Core Tech analyzes the weight of large laundry loads and adjusts water usage and drying conditions accordingly to reduce both time and electricity consumption.
3
Washers can achieve a high-speed final spin of up to 1,100 rpm, which minimizes residual moisture and shortens drying time (1,100 rpm equals about 18 rotations per second).
4
Dryers and the all-in-one washer-dryer unit incorporate a Dual Inverter Heat Pump with a low-temperature dehumidification method to enhance energy efficiency.
5
Bee Laundry in Hanoi is positioned as a reference model for LG’s smart laundry ecosystem, serving as an experience and solution showcase space with features such as gyro balancing, automatic high-temperature steam drum cleaning, and Auto-Dosing, in collaboration with WW Vietnam.
LG Electronics has launched LG Professional, a new six-model commercial laundry lineup built for hotels, hospitals, and care facilities. The lineup rolled out in Europe first, with Asia and North America to follow, according to MarketScreener.
The move targets a fast-growing market. Research projects the global commercial laundry industry will reach $10.8 billion by 2032, per Seoul Economic Daily. LG is betting on AI-driven machines and large capacities to win over B2B customers worldwide.
Six Models Cover Hotels to Hospitals at Scale
The LG Professional lineup includes three washers at 30, 25, and 20 kg capacity, two dryers at 30 and 25 kg, and a combined washer-dryer unit handling 25 kg of washing and 16 kg of drying. That range is designed to cover everything from small guesthouses to large hospital laundry rooms, according to MarketScreener.
LG is starting in Europe, where tourism and an aging population drive heavy laundry demand. Asia and North America will follow in later phases. The goal, Seoul Economic Daily reported, is to broaden LG's B2B customer base across three major global regions.
AI and High-Speed Spin Cut Energy and Time
Each machine uses what LG calls AI Core Tech. It reads the weight of each load and adjusts water use and drying conditions to match. Lighter loads use less water and energy. Heavier loads get more. The system cuts both electricity use and total cycle time, according to MarketScreener.
The washers spin at up to 1,100 rpm — about 18 full rotations per second. That speed wrings out more water before drying begins, which shortens drying time. Dryers and the combo unit use a Dual Inverter Heat Pump, a low-temperature method that saves energy compared to traditional heating systems.
Gyro Sensor Keeps Drums Balanced at Full Speed
Commercial machines running at 1,100 rpm can shake violently if the load shifts. LG's Dynamic Ball Core System uses a gyro sensor to detect imbalances inside the drum. It then corrects them automatically. The result is less vibration, less noise, and less wear on the machine over time, per Utusan Malaysia.
The gyro balancing feature also appears at Bee Laundry in Hanoi, Vietnam. LG uses that facility as a live showcase for its smart laundry ecosystem. The space, built in partnership with WW Vietnam, demonstrates Auto-Dosing, automatic high-temperature steam drum cleaning, and other connected features.
Europe Leads Launch as Aging Population Drives Demand
LG chose Europe as its launch market for a clear reason. The continent's growing elderly population means more care homes and hospitals need reliable, high-volume laundry equipment. Tourism adds to that pressure, filling hotel laundry rooms year-round, Seoul Economic Daily reported.
The global commercial laundry market sits at roughly $10.8 billion by 2032 in projected value. LG's sequential rollout — Europe first, then Asia, then North America — is a deliberate strategy to build brand credibility in each region before moving to the next, according to MarketScreener.
