Marine Washer-Dryer Stacks

Four Benchmark stacks at 208 kg each

Four Miele Benchmark washer-dryer stacks give a full laundry column on the footprint of a single machine, with each unit listed at 208 kg net weight. For galleys and accommodation decks where the binding constraint is deck area rather than plant capacity, that weight and footprint combination is usually easier to place than two separate housings.
All four stacks in this category are electric, in the 5–10 kW power band, and belong to Miele’s Benchmark range. That common platform simplifies spare holding and service planning across mixed fleets, because the same Benchmark family appears in the separate Washing Machines and Tumble Dryers categories.

Voltage and frequency choices for ship supply

These Benchmark stacks are offered at 230 V, 400 V and 440 V, and between them cover both 50 Hz and 60 Hz supply. Across the four products, three are specified for 60 Hz and one for 50 Hz, so there is coverage for a 440 V / 60 Hz system of the kind IEC 60092-201 describes as well as for 50 Hz vessels.
The spread of voltages matters where a vessel runs mixed switchboards or where the laundry is fed from a distribution panel different from other galley consumers. Ordering a stack with a matching nameplate avoids running it on a frequency or voltage that would otherwise drive motors off their intended speed and loading profile.

Benchmark marine features and data connectivity

Every washer-dryer stack listed in this category sits in the Benchmark series and carries the same marine-facing feature set: Marine approved, Offshore specified, Energy management ready and Network connectable. That combination suits accommodation laundries where energy use is monitored at panel level and where operators want remote status without walking the deck.
Network connectivity and energy-management readiness become more relevant as more laundry equipment is tied into shipboard load-shedding and monitoring systems. All four stacks share that capability, and so does every Benchmark tumble dryer in the catalogue.

Weight on deck and where stacks fit best

A net weight of 208 kg per Benchmark stack is light enough for raised-deck laundries on accommodation modules, but high enough that the structural engineer still needs to check local deck loading, especially where two stacks share one foundation. Concentrating both washer and dryer in that single 208 kg column keeps the load in one known place.
In practice these stacks land most naturally in crew laundries, yacht galleys and offshore accommodation where the laundry room is carved out of a tight envelope. On larger vessels with generous plant rooms or where high-throughput rotary ironers are installed, it will usually be better to specify separate machines from the Washing Machines and Tumble Dryers categories to maximise flexibility and service access.

When to choose separate Washing Machines or Tumble Dryers

This Washer-Dryer Stacks category is the wrong starting point where throughput or specialisation comes ahead of footprint. If the brief calls for multiple washers feeding banks of dryers for fast crew-turnaround cycles, or for large rotary ironers downstream, the separate Washing Machines, Tumble Dryers and Ironers categories will cover those requirements better than a fixed Benchmark stack.
