In , American J. Ross Moore designed the first electric tumble dryer. A few years later, Brooks Stevens, an industrial designer, added the dryer window. He also made the dryer more affordable. This kicked off the golden age of the tumble dryer and commercial dryers. Throughout the s and the s, manufacturers came up with a variety of advanced features, such as timers, cool air drying, temperature control, and dryness sensors.

It is very important that you find a manufacturer well-suited to you. Such a manufacturer will understand your requirements and produce a dryer meeting those requirements within your budget. In addition, the right manufacturer will be willing to deliver your dryer to you in a reasonable amount of time. If you wish, they will be able to set it up for you or provide you with a reference to a good third-party installer. They will also be able to provide you with the level of post-installation support that you desire.

When designing industrial dryers, manufacturers aim to create machines that are strong, corrosion resistant, and capable of handling the type of loads their customer requires. To make a custom dryer tailored to fit your needs, they consider specifications such as whether you will be engaging in continuous drying or you will be drying in batches, the size of your operation, the type/qualities of the material to be dried, and your standard requirements.

Digital transformation is no longer an option. It is a requirement to improve profitability, control and the optimization of laundry management. With Sapphire Laundry Management & Connectivity by Girbau, and any mobile device, you can easily monitor the status of all connected machines in realtime. This allows you to easily see a machine’s operating details, including number of cycles, and receive desired alerts.

Every industrial dryer type has its own unique set of components, but all in all, industrial dryers tend to feature the following: stainless steel rectangular boxes or cylindrical tanks, gauges, intake valves, output valves, openings, connections, and controls. Continuous dryers, or those dryers that continuously dry incoming materials, often also feature conveyor belts to bring in those materials.
