BRONZE — Standard Class Tumble Dryers DANUBE

BRONZE — standard class tumble dryers 11–80 kg

BRONZE is the class most sites settle on once they have worked out what they actually need. Danube states that the BRONZE range offers the same standard features and capabilities as the SILVER range, but with the simpler EM electronic programmer, where time and temperature are selected with push-buttons.

In practice that means the same mechanics, the same stainless steel drum, the same airflow system and the same drying quality as the higher class — but without a touchscreen and without an internet connection. If nobody on site programmes cycles or monitors consumption remotely, there is no point paying for those functions.

The range runs from 11 to 80 kg, which covers practically any site — from a hotel laundry room to an industrial laundry.

Standard equipment

  • EM programmer — electronic control with push-buttons for time and temperature. Staff need no training.
  • Stainless steel drum as standard — resistant to moisture and detergent chemistry, and lasts longer than galvanised.
  • Reversing drum on every model — linen does not rope into a single twist and dries evenly.
  • Double Flow — mixed axial and radial airflow that optimises air circulation in the drum.
  • Soft Dry — a drum with stamped holes that handles fabric gently.
  • Cool Down — cooling at the end of the cycle, preventing creasing and making ironing easier.
  • Grey skinplate cabinet and a wide 180° door opening.
  • Filter drawer with a large surface area — simple to clean daily.
  • Electric, gas or steam heating — adaptable to the site's infrastructure.

When BRONZE is the right choice

  • Hotels, care homes and production sites with a regular but not maximum load.
  • When the machine is used by changing staff and the controls must be self-explanatory.
  • When large capacity is needed — 45, 60 or 80 kg — without paying for a touchscreen.
  • When there is no need to monitor consumption remotely.
  • When steam heating is required, which is not available in the BASIC class.

Frequently asked questions

How does BRONZE differ from SILVER?
In the control. BRONZE has push-buttons for time and temperature; SILVER has a 7" touchscreen with programmable cycles and an IoT connection for remote monitoring. The mechanics, drum, airflow and drying quality are identical.

How does BRONZE differ from BASIC?
BRONZE has a stainless steel drum instead of galvanised, a skinplate cabinet, capacities up to 80 kg instead of 35 kg, and steam heating available. The control is the same on both — push-buttons.

Is it worth paying more for SILVER?
It is, if you want to programme your own cycles for specific fabrics, track consumption and faults remotely, or plan to use Care Dry moisture control. If not, BRONZE delivers the same result for less.

Can the remaining time be seen on the EM programmer?
Not in the standard version, but a display showing time, temperature and programme is available as an option. If several employees will use the machine, we recommend ordering it from the start.

Is BRONZE available with steam heating?
Yes. The single pocket DD BRONZE models are available with electric, gas or steam heating. The double STD BRONZE XP models come with electric or gas.

Is an external exhaust required?
Yes, the BRONZE range is vented. Without an exhaust, only heat pump dryers are possible.

How do I choose the capacity?
The dryer should be at least as large as the washer, ideally slightly larger — linen needs room to move freely while drying.
