GOLD — Energy Efficient Tumble Dryers DANUBE

GOLD — energy efficient tumble dryers 11–80 kg

The dryer is a laundry's most expensive machine — not by purchase price, but by what it consumes over a year. GOLD is Danube's answer to that: the class where every saving technology comes as standard rather than on an options list.

Danube states that the DD-GOLD ET2 is the most efficient of all its dryer ranges, because it comes as standard with all the functions and features that combine performance and savings. Thanks to these, compared with other dryers these models can save up to 60% energy and significantly reduce cycle times without compromising drying quality.

A shorter cycle also means more cycles per day from the same number of machines. That is why GOLD is usually bought not by those with a larger budget, but by those who have worked out the payback.

What comes as standard in the GOLD class

• Air Recycle — an air recovery system that returns heat which would otherwise be lost outside back into the cycle.
• Care Dry — precise control of residual moisture. The cycle stops automatically once the specified moisture percentage is reached, so nothing runs dry for nothing.
• Insulated panels and double door glass — the entire airflow circuit is thermally insulated to reduce the energy needed for heating.
• Optimal Flow — dual axial and radial airflow, complemented by side and front air inlets for maximum drying conditions.
• Sprinkler — integrated fire extinguishing system.
• Easy Touch 2 with a 7" touchscreen, fully programmable.
• Danube Online IoT connectivity as standard and free.
• Stainless steel drum and reversing drum as standard.
• Soft Dry — a drum with stamped holes that protects the fabric.
• Cool Down — cooling at the end of the cycle to prevent creasing.
• Wide 180° door opening, a large lint filter drawer and a USB connection.
• Electric, gas or steam heating.

Where the saving comes from

Three things work together, and that is exactly why the result is greater than each of them alone:

• Heat is not blown outside — Air Recycle returns it.
• Heat is not lost through the cabinet — insulated panels and double glass keep it inside.
• Nothing dries longer than it needs to — Care Dry stops the cycle at the right moment.

GOLD compared with SILVER

When GOLD is the right choice

• Laundries where the dryer runs several shifts a day.
• Hotels and resorts with continuous bed linen turnover.
• Hospitals and care homes with a steady high volume.
• Sites where the price of electricity is a significant cost item.
• When throughput must increase but there is no room for another machine — a shorter cycle means more cycles per day.
• When the business has sustainability targets or has to report on energy consumption.
