Efficiency is more than a buzzword. An energy-efficient commercial dryer will be a major benefit to your business. It will enable you to save money on your utility bills. Over time, these savings can add up. Energy-efficient dryers are better for the environment and can also be a marketing feature for environmentally-conscious customers.
Commercial laundromat dryers come in a variety of styles and sizes. Here, we’ll break down some of them to help you find the right dryer to fit your needs.
You’ll find a variety of commercial dryers on the market with different sizes and capacities. No matter what size dryer you select, you’ll need to ensure it can physically fit into the area you plan to use it in. If the dryer does fit, can it be transported to that area without modifying the building it is housed in?
It is important to have an appropriate dryer capacity for your needs. Certain places, like hospitals and hotels, tend to need bigger dryers than a nail salon. If you have larger objects that need to be dried, such as sheets, you must ensure the dryer can accommodate them. If a dryer is overloaded, it could damage linens. On the other hand, having too large a dryer for your needs is wasteful.
Ed Brown Distributors offers several sizes of dryers to help you find an excellent fit for your business or organization. Our Continental Gibrau E-Series Dryers are on the smaller side while still offering great durability and efficiency. Some of our LG dryers feature reversible doors to help people make the most out of tight spaces.
Be sure to research the efficiency of the commercial dryers you are looking at. This can significantly affect how expensive it is to operate the dryer. Energy-efficient commercial dryers can save money on operating costs over time. When a dryer utilizes shorter cycles, it will be less expensive. Generally, a gas dryer will be more energy efficient than an electric dryer.
Ed Brown Distributors offers a range of energy-efficient dryers that will help you save money while protecting the environment. Fagor’s Green Flow System© brings back expelled air inside the dryer’s drum, which helps to save energy.
When many customers or employees are trying to dry their clothes simultaneously, having a dryer with a quick drying time can help keep the line moving. Gas dryers feature a shorter drying time than electric dryers.
We proudly offer several energy-efficient commercial dryers with exciting technology that allows for faster drying times. Some of our Fagor dryers feature an IDRY© moisture sensor. This sensor enables the dryer to stop when the sensor no longer detects moisture, saving time and energy. Fagor’s compact dryers generally will take under 45 minutes.
It is important to have a good understanding of the volume of laundry you will be dealing with. That will dictate the size of dryer you need and, if necessary, how many dryers you will need to buy. While having too many dryers will be a waste of money, having too few will lead to bottlenecks during busy times and frustrated customers who may take their business elsewhere.
While you must purchase a commercial dryer within your budget, it may not be as simple as it sounds. Some commercial dyers may not be as reliable as others. The cheapest dryer may be more expensive in the long run. In addition to the initial cost, you’ll have to factor in the efficiency of the dryer and maintenance and repair costs over time. You’ll also have to determine if you purchase the equipment outright or lease it.
Commercial laundromat dryers come in several types and configurations. Here, we’ll look at some common differences between types of dryers.
In this section, Ed Brown Distributors will examine the advantages and disadvantages of dryers that are stacked or side-by-side. When you work with us, the experts at Ed Brown Distributors are happy to help you find the right arrangement for your situation.
Stacked Dryers
Stacked commercial dryers (one on top of another) are great when space is at a premium—for example, at an apartment or dorm. Commercial stacked dryers come in both one-piece and individual units. You’ll also find both dryer/dryer and washer/dryer configurations. Please keep in mind that these tend to have more weight than a regular dryer, so it is especially important to ensure that the surface the stacked dryer is on can support the weight.
Please note that not every dryer is stackable. This is why it is so important to have any installation done by a trained professional.

Side-by-Side Dryers
Side-by-side dryers are another option for people searching for commercial laundry, whether it is for a laundromat or business/organizational use. This is where two units are placed next to each other. The following are some advantages and disadvantages of side-by-side dryers.

Gas and electric dryers offer different advantages and disadvantages. It should be noted that both need electricity to run. Here, we’ll compare the two types and discuss their characteristics.
Gas Dryers
Gas dryers generate heat using either propane or natural gas. This heat is blown at the clothes via an electric fan.

Electric Dryers
Electric dryers utilize heated air to dry objects. These have a heating element, along with a blower that pushes air through a drum.
