Professional Washing Machine DANUBE STEAM WED-14 S ET2

A commercial washing machine built for high-volume textile care, the DANUBE STEM WED-14 S ET2 uses steam heating to raise temperature quickly and evenly through the load. Steam penetrates fabrics faster than hot water alone, reducing cycle times while maintaining consistent cleaning performance across large batches. The drum rotates at controlled speeds, balancing mechanical action with gentle handling to protect fibres and extend linen life in professional laundries and on-premise operations.

Operation begins by loading up to 14 kg of textiles through the large aluminium door. The 7-inch touch screen presents over twenty preset programmes, each optimised for specific fabric types, soil levels and hygiene requirements. Operators select a cycle, adjust water-saving levels or customise parameters, then start the machine. The Intelligent Consumption system measures the actual load and automatically scales water, detergent and energy use, avoiding waste on partial loads. Throughout the cycle, the microprocessor monitors temperature, drum speed and steam flow, adjusting in real time to maintain the chosen programme. When the cycle completes, the drum stops and the door unlocks, ready for unloading.

Construction centres on an AISI 304 stainless steel drum and outer tank, chosen for corrosion resistance in humid laundry environments. The door, 373 mm in diameter, opens and closes on an ergonomic hinge that reduces effort during repeated loading. Inside, a soft-mount suspension system with a G-factor of 500 dampens vibration, cutting residual moisture in the textiles and shortening subsequent drying time. Three water inlets allow separate connections for cold, hot and softened water, supporting flexible process organisation. Eight control signals link to automatic dosing systems, expandable to fourteen for complex chemical management.

The EASY TOUCH 2 control panel groups all functions on a single 7-inch touch screen. Preset programmes cover standard washes, delicate fabrics and wet cleaning for professional textile care. Operators can create, save and transfer custom cycles via USB, and the built-in video player displays step-by-step instructions in thirty-seven languages. DANUBE Online IoT connectivity enables remote monitoring, diagnostics and management, allowing laundry supervisors to track performance, receive alerts and adjust settings from any networked device.

A 14 kg capacity suits medium to large commercial laundries, on-premise operations and self-service outlets with additional equipment. The 1.1 kW power rating reflects the load on the electrical supply, while the 236 kg weight indicates a floor-standing unit that requires stable installation. The footprint of 788 mm wide, 869 mm deep and 1307 mm high determines the space needed in the laundry layout. Voltage is switchable between single-phase 230 V and three-phase 400 V, accommodating different electrical infrastructures common in professional settings.

Cleaning and maintenance follow from the materials and construction. The stainless steel drum and tank resist corrosion but require regular wiping to remove detergent residue and prevent scale build-up. The touch screen and control panel should be cleaned with a damp cloth, avoiding abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface. The soft-mount suspension system and door mechanism benefit from periodic inspection to ensure smooth operation and prevent premature wear.

This model is equipped with steam heating, designed for connection to a central steam supply. Alternative versions are available with electric or hot-water heating, allowing selection based on site utilities and energy preferences. Additional equipment, including extended dosing signals and specialised programmes, can be added on request to tailor the machine to specific laundry processes.

The product sits in the professional laundry equipment section of the catalogue, serving commercial laundries, hotels, healthcare facilities and on-premise laundry operations.
