Miele Tumble Dryer PDR 507 [EL MAR] – 7 kg, 3~ 440V 50/60HZ, Lotus white

7 kg load capacity and a 130 l drum volume set the PDR 507 [EL MAR] up as a small-footprint marine dryer for crew laundries and hotel decks. With a specific energy consumption of 0.5 kWh/kg on the Cottons/Normal programme at 48 % residual moisture, it keeps electrical load predictable in spaces where every kilowatt is planned.

The external width of 596 mm and depth of 717 mm let this front loader sit in narrow laundry rooms, and the 850 mm height keeps it under typical worktop and service runs. Net weight is 49 kg with a maximum floor load of 920 N, which matters when the naval architect checks deck strength for stacked installations or raised foundations. Heat dissipation into the room is quoted at 0.76 MJ/h, a figure that feeds directly into the HVAC calculation for an enclosed shipboard laundry.

Programme duration on the standard Cottons/Normal cycle is 46 minutes at 48 % residual moisture, matching the overall programme duration of 46 minutes. Mixed fibre fabrics on the Normal programme at 40 % residual moisture are quoted at 41 minutes. For planning purposes, that gives one drying cycle per watch segment without bottlenecking washer-extractors on the same line. Maximum evaporation capacity is 4.4 l/hour, which together with the exhaust-air system defines the moisture load to be ducted out of the space.

Electrically, the dryer is specified as an electric-heated unit with a total connected load of 6.4 kW. Heater rating is 6.14 kW, with an electric heater rating of 5.16 kW published, and the electrical connection is listed as 3~ 480V 50/60HZ with a 10 A fuse rating. The ability to operate at 50 or 60 Hz is important where the vessel’s main switchboard and any shore connection differ in frequency. Emission sound pressure level is ≤70 dB(A) re 20 µPa, which is low enough to matter if the laundry sits adjacent to cabins or offices.

Physically, the door opening of 370 mm diameter and 167° door opening angle make loading and unloading straightforward even in tight spaces. Door hinge is on the left. Gross dimensions — 940 mm height, 660 mm width and 820 mm depth — and gross weight of 55 kg are the numbers to use for route and doorway checks during installation. A recycling rate of 95 % and Lloyd's Register approval round out the technical data relevant to a shipowner looking at lifecycle and compliance.

The PDR 507 [EL MAR] suits smaller vessels or satellite laundries where 7 kg batches align with cabin or crew complement, and where an exhaust-air system is already allowed for in the design. It is the wrong choice if duct routing through the accommodation is constrained or if the laundry concept calls for condensate or heat-pump drying instead of exhaust air.
