Frequently asked questions

Is the 60% saving real?

This is the figure indicated by Danube compared to other dryers, and it is achieved through heat recovery, thermal insulation and moisture control combined. The actual result in your facility depends on the workload, the age of the previous machine and the energy price. The more cycles per day, the closer to the maximum figure.

How long does it take for GOLD to pay back?

This can be calculated: the difference in purchase price versus savings per cycle, multiplied by the number of cycles per year. If the dryer operates two shifts, payback is usually within a few years. If the machine runs only a few cycles per day, SILVER or BRONZE is more cost-effective.

How does Optimal Flow differ from Double Flow?

Double Flow, which is standard in other classes, combines axial and radial airflow. Optimal Flow enhances this with side and front air inlets, creating better drying conditions and shortening the cycle.

Does a shorter cycle mean more aggressive drying?

No. The cycle is shorter because the airflow is more efficient and heat is not lost, not because the temperature is higher. The Soft Dry cylinder and Care Dry sensor specifically protect fabrics from over-drying.

Is GOLD available without external venting?

Yes — in the HPi GOLD heat pump version from 11 to 22 kg. Single-chamber DD GOLD models require venting.

Is the Sprinkler mandatory?

The requirement is determined by the facility’s fire safety regulations, but in the GOLD class it is included as standard, so there is no need to consider it separately. A dryer with accumulated lint is a real fire hazard.

Is GOLD worth buying if the laundry volume is small?

Honestly — not always. If the machine runs only a few cycles per day, the savings will not cover the price difference. Tell us your daily volume, and we will calculate it for you.
