• Cost-effective solution for cleaning services and professional textile care

• Heat pump dryers use propane as environmentally friendly refrigerant

High throughput and cost-effectiveness in a confined space: A new dryer-dryer stack from Miele combining these properties is ideally suited for use in professional textile care and cleaning services.

The unit is composed of heat pump dryers from Miele's “Little Giants” range, securely installed using a connection set. Performance in figures: 130-liter drum volume each, 2 x 8 kilograms of laundry dry in just 77 minutes (cottons/cupboard dry program). The dryers use about 50 percent less energy than vented dryers, which minimises operating costs and protects the environment. The Little Giants have other advantages in terms of sustainability. Miele uses the environmentally friendly refrigerant propane. This has a significantly lower impact on the climate compared to synthetic refrigerants such as R134a, which are still standard in commercial heat pump dryers. In addition, the appliances are designed in such a way that the majority of their parts can be recycled at the end of their life. The packaging also uses recyclable and renewable materials.

One advantage in everyday operation is the ease of use. The rotary selector switch, symbol panel and a plain text display with 29 stored languages make it easy to select programs, especially for new personnel and those new to the industry, who quickly become adept at using the dryers. Miele has optimised the ergonomics of the appliances: a large door opening (370 mm) with an opening angle of 167° makes loading and unloading a breeze and the drum is naturally illuminated. Condensate drainage and easily accessible filters are patented for easy maintenance, as well as to ensure the optimal protection and high performance of the heat exchangers.

Networking with the digital Miele MOVE Connect platform can also increase efficiency, as it provides users with a permanent overview of utilisation and consumption data.

The heat pump dryers are manufactured in accordance with ISO standards 9001, 14001, 45001 and 50001. The Ecovadis Silver Award 2025 underlines Miele's commitment to environmental and social responsibility.

Miele will be exhibiting the new dryer-dryer stack at CMS, Europe's leading trade fair for cleaning and hygiene, from 23 to 26 September in Berlin.
