Industrial laundry machines with standard extraction 11–80 kg
Not every laundry requires maximum extraction speed. If linen is ironed on a roller or drying time is not a critical factor, standard extraction delivers the same washing quality at a lower purchase price. The Danube WEN series is exactly this option — an economical purchase, but with the same Easy Touch 2 control and the same energy-saving functions as the top WED class.
WEN machines are floor-anchored, with a G-factor of 200, which is a high figure in the sector compared to equivalent models available on the market. They are chosen by care homes and hospitals, hotels, equestrian centres, factories, sports clubs and laundries where durability and budget matter more than minimal drying time.

WEN 11-14-18-22-28 ET2 — machines from 11 to 28 kg with extraction speeds from 689 to 759 rpm. Robust construction and quality materials designed for the most demanding daily loads.
WEN 35C-45C-60C-80C ET2 — large-capacity machines from 35 to 80 kg with extraction speeds from 505 to 644 rpm. Designed for those seeking an economical yet productive solution with environmentally friendly functions.

Frequently asked questions
How does WEN differ from the WED series?
WEN has standard extraction with a G-factor of 200 and is floor-anchored. WED has high extraction with a G-factor of 350–500 and is free-standing. WEN is cheaper to purchase, while WED pays off through shorter drying times.
When should I choose WEN instead of WED?
When linen is ironed on a roller after washing or dried naturally, when the daily volume is not at its maximum, or when the initial investment is the priority. If the dryer operates continuously, the higher G-factor of WED will pay off faster.
Must the machine really be floor-anchored?
Yes, the WEN series is a rigidly fixed construction and requires anchoring. The anchoring base can be ordered as an optional accessory.
Is the control simpler than on more expensive models?
No. WEN has the same Easy Touch 2 control with a 7" touchscreen and the same energy-saving functions as high-extraction machines.
What is the SLUICE version?
Cylinder with 8 mm perforation, designed for heavily soiled linen and workwear with hard dirt particles.
Which capacity should I choose?
Approximate guideline: 11–28 kg for hotels, care homes and medium-sized establishments; 35–45 kg for small laundries; 60–80 kg for larger establishments with a stable daily volume.
