Consolidated Laundry Machinery

What Consolidated Laundry Machinery does

Consolidated Laundry Machinery (CLM) is a privately held U.S. manufacturer of industrial laundry equipment, headquartered and produced at a single facility in Pomona, California. Founded in 1961 as a supplier of used and rebuilt machinery, the company has focused exclusively on designing and building industrial-grade laundry dryers since 1983 — claiming to be the only U.S. dryer manufacturer 100% dedicated to that product category. Its core products are heavy-duty tumble dryers (Model 165 and Model 400) capable of processing 200 to 1,200 pounds of laundry in under 30 minutes, with an advertised 30-year operational lifespan (some units from 1978 still in service).

The product portfolio centers on the dryers themselves and is augmented by finishing and material-handling equipment — shuttle conveyors, mat rolling systems, towel folders, vacuum feeders, and lint collectors — plus an integrated MicroCommand PLC III control system and a Tumble Green product line featuring Low NOx burner technology for emissions compliance. Notable proprietary features include cross-axis airflow design, ceramic-coated basket panels for healthcare and correctional applications, modulating burners, soft-start motor control, and a custom inlet/outlet temperature algorithm that automatically switches to cooldown to prevent over-drying. CLM sells exclusively through direct enterprise field sales out of its Pomona facility, covering the U.S. and Canada with select worldwide accounts, and does not use third-party distributors or resellers.

CLM's revenue model is capital-equipment-driven: hardware sales of dryers and ancillary equipment form the primary stream, with secondary revenue from replacement parts and ongoing service and maintenance under multi-year contracts. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; customers include industrial laundries (Mission Linen Supply, Prudential Overall Supply, Admiral Linen), hotels and resorts (Ritz Carlton, Sheraton, Sands Regency, Boyne Mtn Resort), hospitals, and correctional institutions. Sales are handled by President Gabriel Camacho and Customer Service Manager Casey McDonald, supported by factory training programs at the Pomona headquarters and a multi-channel marketing footprint including an active blog, social media, customer testimonials, and the Made in CA program.
