DANUBE WEN-60C E ET2 60 kg Industrial Washing Machine

A 60 kg industrial washing machine engineered for high-volume laundries, the DANUBE WEN-60C E ET2 removes soils from professional textiles with controlled mechanical action and precise water management.

Industrial washing machines of this type use a perforated stainless-steel drum that rotates inside a fixed outer cylinder. The drum is divided into compartments, so the load is repeatedly lifted and dropped as it turns. This tumbling motion creates the friction that loosens dirt without damaging fabrics. Heating elements raise the water temperature to the level each programme requires, while a microprocessor adjusts drum speed, water level and detergent dosing in real time. The result is consistent cleaning across every cycle, regardless of load size or fabric type.

Operation begins by loading the drum through the front door. The operator selects one of over twenty preset programmes or creates a custom cycle on the 7-inch touch screen. Once the door is locked, the machine fills with water, heats it to the set temperature and adds detergent via automatic dosing pumps. The drum starts rotating, lifting and dropping the load to release dirt. After the wash phase, the machine drains and refills for rinsing, repeating the tumbling action to remove detergent residues. A final high-speed spin extracts water, reducing drying time. Throughout the cycle, the Intelligent Consumption system monitors load weight and adjusts water and detergent use accordingly, while the Water Saving function offers three levels of efficiency.

The WEN-60C E ET2 is built on a rigid floor-mounted frame designed to withstand a G-force of 150. The outer cylinder and drum are made of AISI 304 stainless steel, chosen for corrosion resistance in humid laundry environments. Three water inlets allow separate connections for hot, cold and softened water, optimising the wash process. An ergonomic door mechanism ensures smooth opening and closing, while the front panel provides easy access for maintenance and cleaning.

Controls are centralised on the EASY TOUCH 2 microprocessor panel. The 7-inch touch screen displays programme settings, cycle progress and video instructions in 37 languages. Operators can import or export custom programmes via USB, and the machine connects to DANUBE Online IoT for remote monitoring, diagnostics and management. Eight signal outputs control automatic dosing pumps, ensuring precise chemical delivery.

A 60 kg capacity means the machine can process large batches of professional textiles, such as hotel linens, restaurant uniforms or healthcare workwear, in a single cycle. The 41.5 kW power rating indicates the electrical load required, which must be supported by a dedicated 400 V three-phase supply or an optional 230 V three-phase circuit. At 792 kg, the unit is floor-mounted and secured to prevent movement during high-speed spins. Its footprint of 1225 mm wide, 1315 mm deep and 1640 mm high determines the space needed in the laundry room.

Cleaning involves wiping the touch screen with a damp cloth and removing lint from the drum perforations. The stainless steel surfaces resist corrosion, but regular descaling is recommended if hard water is used. The front panel allows access to the dosing pumps and water connections for inspection and maintenance.

This model is equipped with electric heating. Alternative versions are available with hot-water or steam heating for laundries with existing boiler systems. Additional accessories, such as specialised detergent pumps or extended IoT features, can be supplied on request.

Designed for professional on-premises laundries (OPL) and self-service laundrettes with appropriate infrastructure, the WEN-60C E ET2 is positioned in the DANUBE catalogue as a heavy-duty industrial washer for high-throughput textile care.
