Coin laundry equipment selection: dryers

Things to look for
- fully perforated drums

- energy efficiency

- drying speed

- oversize bearings

- stackable dryers to save retail space

- high capacity or drying space

- strong construction

- durable stainless steel parts

You really have to have industrial strength dryers for a coin laundry. Only a commercial grade dryer will be worth it and some are better than others.

Renting coin washers and dryers

You can actually choose to rent washers and dryers for monthly payments that are often less than a service call charge.

Monthly equipment payments include the cost of the machine, freight, installation, preventative maintenance, service calls, labor and parts. It may even provide tax incentives since your rental payments are part of your overhead.

Used and Rebuilt coin washers and dryers.

You can start your business with used and rebuilt equipment. There are distributors who rent hundreds of washers and dryers yearly under rental programs. That means these commercial coin laundry distributors have machines for resale. The washers and dryers were maintained and or rebuilt by factory trained technicians using OEM parts.
