Industrial Tumble Dryers DANUBE

Industrial tumble dryers 11–80 kg

Drying is the most expensive stage in a laundry. Washing consumes water, but it is the dryer that draws energy hour after hour, which is why the difference between classes shows up in every monthly bill. The Danube DD range offers four classes from 11 to 80 kg, and what separates them is not build quality but the control system and the energy recovery technology.

They are chosen by commercial laundries, hotels and resorts, hospitals and nursing homes, equestrian centres, production sites, sports clubs and self-service laundromats.

Four classes

GOLD ET2 — the most efficient Danube dryer class. All saving functions are included as standard: Air Recycle air recovery, Care Dry moisture control, insulated panels with double door glass and the Optimal Flow airflow system. Danube states that compared with other dryers these models can save up to 60% energy and significantly reduce cycle times without compromising drying quality. The Sprinkler fire extinguishing system is included as standard.

SILVER ET2 — the same Easy Touch 2 control with a 7" touchscreen and IoT, but the saving functions are available as options rather than as standard. The choice for a laundry that wants full programmable control and prefers to select only the extras it actually needs.

BRONZE EM — 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. The choice where simplicity for staff matters, without giving up performance.

BASIC EM — the entry class from 11 to 35 kg at the lowest purchase price, a quality alternative to the premium models.

Common to all classes

  • Stainless steel drum as standard across the classes.
  • Reversing drum as standard — the linen does not turn one way only and cannot rope up.
  • Soft Dry — a drum with stamped holes that handles fabric gently and leaves nothing to snag on.
  • Double Flow mixed axial and radial airflow (extended in the GOLD class by Optimal Flow with side and front air inlets).
  • Cool Down — cooling at the end of the cycle, preventing creasing and making the ironing stage easier.
  • Wide 180° door opening and a filter drawer with a large surface area.
  • Electric, gas or steam heating across all classes.

Frequently asked questions

Which class should I choose?
If the dryer runs several shifts a day, GOLD pays back quickly, because every cycle is cheaper and shorter. If the load is moderate but you want programmable control and remote monitoring, choose SILVER. If staff only need a few buttons and the machine does not have to be on the network, BRONZE gives the same mechanics for less. BASIC is the option for a tight budget up to 35 kg.

How much does GOLD actually save?
Danube states up to 60% energy saving compared with other dryers, delivered by air recovery, thermal insulation and moisture control working together. The real figure depends on your load and the machine being replaced — the more cycles per day, the faster the payback.

What is Care Dry?
Moisture control that stops the cycle as soon as the set residual moisture percentage is reached. It prevents over-drying, which wastes energy and is the main cause of fabric wear.

Why does a reversing drum matter?
The drum periodically changes direction, so the linen does not rope into a single twist. The result is more even drying and fewer creases, which saves time at the ironing stage.

Is an external exhaust required?
Yes, the DD range is vented. If an exhaust cannot be installed in the room, look at heat pump dryers.

Electric, gas or steam?
If the site has gas, a gas model is usually the cheapest to run. Steam suits sites that already have a boiler. Electric is the simplest to install but the most expensive per cycle.

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. An 18 or 22 kg dryer works well with an 18 kg washer.
