1.

Lifespan – they are designed for a 10000-cycle life.

2.

Capacity – this ranges from 7.5KG to 15KG.

3.

Time – a full cycle takes around 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the chosen program.

Soiling – commercial machines offer a basic wash process for low-to-medium soiling.

Heating – washers don't have elements to reach the temperature required by Australian standards, so rely on incoming hot-water supply.

Chemical – manual dosing is standard for entry-level models, however some brands have liquid dosing as a standard option for operation simplicity.

Extraction – entry-level models offer around 120G extraction and more premium models offer +400G, leading to shorter dry times and less energy usage.

Reversing drum – these normally have a one-directional drum, so larger items will ‘knot’ or ‘ball’.

Stackability – normally commercial machinery is available in washer/dryer or dryer/dryer stacks, in order to save space.

Residual moisture control – this feature is normally not available in commercial washers and dryers, so you risk over-drying items and wasting energy.

1.

Lifespan – they are designed for a 30000-cycle life.

2.

Capacity – this ranges from 6KG to 110 KG.

3.

Time – a full cycle takes around 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the chosen program.

Soiling – industrial machines offer a fully programmable wash process for any requirement, including very high soil levels.

Heating – industrial washers have elements that help them reach temperatures required by Australian standards.

Chemical – liquid dosing is standard for operational simplicity, with the option of adjusting the chemical according to the loaded weight, in order to save chemistry and improve rinsing.

Extraction – entry-level models offer around 130G extraction, however more premium models offer +400g – meaning shorter drying times and less energy usage.

Reversing drum – these normally have reversing drums to prevent the ‘knotting’ and ‘balling’ of larger items – improving dryer time to around 7-10 minutes.

Stackability – normally only smaller industrial models – around 6KG – are stackable, with larger models too big to stack.

Residual moisture control – this feature is standard and prevents over-drying whilst saving energy.
