Miele Rotary Ironer PRI 214 [EL SOM STW] – 3 AC 440V 50-60HZ, Iron grey

Thirty-five kilograms per hour at 25% residual moisture on a 1,400 mm working width sets the PRI 214 up for continuous flatwork on a medium-size vessel. With a 210 mm roller and electric heating at 7.9 kW, it sits between compact table-top units and large multi-roller machines, but in a footprint that still fits a constrained laundry.

On board, the decisive figures are supply, floor load and heat into the room. This ironer is specified at 3 AC 440V 50–60HZ with a total connected load of 8.4 kW, so it ties directly into typical shipboard distribution rather than a shore-only voltage. Maximum floor load is 1400 N and the net weight is 140 kg, numbers a naval architect can plug into a deck loading check instead of estimating. Heat dissipation is quoted at 11 MJ/h, which will land on the ventilation and air-conditioning plant if the laundry is fully enclosed.

Physically, the PRI 214 stands 1032 mm high with an external width of 1979 mm and a depth of 650 mm. Gross transport dimensions rise to 1374 × 2163 × 660 mm, which matters when the route to the laundry runs through narrow corridors or stair towers; the 155 kg gross weight is the handling case for bringing it on board. The roller diameter of 210 mm and the controlled speed range from 1.5 to 4 m/min give the operator latitude between quality and throughput, up to the 35 kg/h stated at 25% residual moisture.

The padding is supple steel wool under an ARAMID needle-felt cloth cover, a combination aimed at consistent contact pressure and temperature across the 1,400 mm working width. Emission sound pressure level is given as ≤70 dB(A) re 20 µPa at the workplace, so it can run in a ship’s laundry without dominating the noise environment. Tested operating hours are stated at 20000, which is the order of magnitude a superintendent expects from a professional machine rather than a domestic-derived unit, and the recycling rate of 98 % will be relevant where end-of-life documentation is required.

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
• Electric heating with 7.9 kW heater rating
• Total connected load 8.4 kW on 3 AC 440V 50–60HZ

This ironer is a good fit where the laundry has a steady flow of flatwork but not the volume to justify a larger, higher-load-class roller. It is the wrong choice for a very small crew complement that sends out most linen, or for a vessel where the HVAC budget cannot absorb 11 MJ/h of heat gain in the laundry.
