PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a linen facility capable of sorting various types of fabrics.SOLUTION: A linen facility comprises: a feeding machine 10; a folding machine 30; input devices 41 to 44 installed on the feeding machine 10; and a control device 50. The feeding machine 10 has feeding parts 11 to 14 into which fabrics F are fed. The folding machine 30 has multiple discharge parts 31 to 34, which discharge the fabrics F and a branch mechanism 35. The control device 50 controls operation of the branch mechanism 35 so that the fabrics F are discharged to the discharge parts 31 to 34 depending on the classification information input to the input devices 41 to 44. As the classification information can be input based on an operator's visual inspection, various types of fabrics F can be classified. As the operator can determine the type of the fabrics F on the feeding machine 10 side, the operator is not required to classify the fabrics F discharged from the folding machine 30 by visual inspection and stack the classified fabrics by type, workload can be reduced.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】多様な種類の布類でも分別できるリネン設備を提供する。【解決手段】投入機１０と、折畳み機３０と、投入機１０に設けられた入力装置４１〜４４と、制御装置５０とを備え、投入機１０は布類Ｆが投入される投入部１１〜１４を備え、折畳み機３０は布類Ｆを排出する複数の排出部３１〜３４と、分岐機構３５とを備え、制御装置５０は、布類Ｆを、入力装置４１〜４４に入力された分別情報に対応する排出部３１〜３４に排出するように、分岐機構３５の動作を制御する。作業員の目視で分別情報を入力できるので、多様な種類の布類Ｆでも分別できる。作業員は投入機１０側で布類Ｆの種類を判断できるので、折畳み機３０から排出された布類Ｆを目視により分別して、種類ごとに積み重ねる必要がなく、作業負担を軽減できる。【選択図】図３
