Miele Rotary Ironer PRI 214 [EL SOM STW] – 3 AC 230V 50-60HZ, Iron grey

Thirty-three kilograms per hour at 25% residual moisture with a 1,400 mm working width sets the PRI 214 up for medium shipboard laundries where flatwork turnover is continuous but not industrial-scale. The 210 mm roller diameter and 6.5 kW electric heater rating define it as a compact but capable marine ironer that fits into constrained technical spaces without giving up throughput.

On board, supply and floor loading drive the choice as much as linen volume. This unit is specified and approved for shipboard use and for offshore installations, so its 3 AC 230 V 50–60 Hz connection and 25 A fuse rating are parameters a yard can work with directly at the distribution board. Maximum floor load is quoted at 1,400 N with a net weight of 140 kg, so naval architects have firm figures for deck-plate and foundation design instead of estimates. Heat dissipation of 11 MJ/h and a published emission sound pressure level of ≤70 dB(A) belong in the HVAC and comfort calculations for a closed laundry.

The ironer body stands 1,032 mm high, 1,979 mm wide and 650 mm deep, so it occupies a modest footprint for its working width. Gross transport dimensions of 1,374 × 2,163 × 660 mm and a gross weight of 155 kg matter at loading and when routing the machine through companionways or doorways. With tested operating hours of 20,000, the PRI 214 sits in the Professional range rather than a light-duty class, which aligns with the duty cycle typical of a vessel that irons daily cabin, restaurant and hotel linen.

The ironing performance comes from the interaction of roller, padding and cover. A 210 mm roller paired with supple steel wool padding and an ARAMID needle-felt cloth cover gives good thermal contact while tolerating repeated heating cycles over many years. Minimum and maximum controlled ironing speeds of 1.5 to 4 m/min let the operator match speed to residual moisture and fabric type, staying within the 33 kg/h envelope when fed correctly. A recycling rate of 98% supports end-of-life planning where waste separation is part of the ship’s environmental programme.

Build and control

• Specified for offshore installations
• Specified and approved for shipboard use
• Prepared for a payment system (self-service laundries)
• Touch display control system
• Setting of defined programme parameters
• Outer casing in iron grey

The PRI 214 is the right choice where the vessel carries a steady but not extreme volume of flat linen and has 3 AC 230 V 50–60 Hz available, such as offshore units, ferries or medium-sized cruise or expedition ships. It is not the right unit for very high-throughput main laundry plants that need significantly higher kg/h figures and wider working widths. Prepared-for-payment functionality also makes it suitable for self-service crew laundries that want to recover running costs.
