METRO BSS — programmable class tumble dryers 11–80 kg
SILVER is the class for those who want to adapt the dryer to their work, not adapt their work to the dryer. The Easy Touch 2 control with a 7" touchscreen is fully programmable: each fabric has its own program, each customer has its own cycle, each shift has its own settings.
The second reason to choose SILVER is the IoT connection Danube Online, included as standard and free of charge. You see each machine’s cycles, consumption and error alerts without being on site. If you manage multiple laundry rooms or multiple sites, this is the only way to know what is really happening there.
Danube describes SILVER as a series for customers looking for high-performance tumble dryers that can be tailored to their exact needs with a wide range of options, and notes that it is a good investment for a laundry dealing with a constant and large workload.
Standard equipment
- Easy Touch 2 — fully programmable microprocessor with a 7" touchscreen.
- Danube Online IoT connection as standard and free of charge — remote monitoring and real-time consumption data.
- USB port for importing or exporting data and programs — programs can be transferred from one machine to another.
- Stainless steel cylinder as standard.
- Reversing cylinder as standard — laundry does not tangle and dries evenly.
- Double Flow — combined axial and radial airflow in the cylinder.
- Soft Dry — cylinder with punched openings that treat fabrics gently.
- Cool Down — cooling at the end of the cycle to prevent wrinkling.
- Grey skinplate body, wide 180° opening doors and spacious filter drawer.
- Electric, gas or steam heating.
What can be added in the SILVER class
The point of this class is adaptability. Energy-saving features that are standard in the GOLD class are available here as options — you only pay for what you really need.
- Care Dry — residual moisture control that stops the cycle when the laundry is dry.
- Sprinkler — integrated fire suppression system.
- Double-glazed door — reduced heat loss and safer surface.
- Fragrance dosing — useful for hotels and self-service laundries.
- Automatic or manual sliding doors and front tilt for 45–80 kg models.

Who is SILVER the right choice for
- Laundries and facilities with a constant, large workload.
- When processing different fabrics with distinct settings — bed linen, towels, workwear, fine fabrics.
- When managing multiple sites and wanting to see everything in one place.
- When traceability of the process is important — for example, in care homes and nursing facilities.
- When you want to choose which energy-saving features to buy, rather than taking everything as a package.

Frequently asked questions
How does SILVER differ from BRONZE?
In control and connectivity. The mechanics, cylinder and drying quality are the same, but SILVER allows you to program your own cycles, and the IoT connection lets you monitor the machine remotely.
How does SILVER differ from GOLD?
In energy-saving features. In the GOLD class, Air Recycle air recovery, insulated panels, Care Dry and Sprinkler are standard, and Danube indicates up to 60% energy savings compared to other dryers. In the SILVER class, some of these are available as options. If the machine operates multiple shifts a day, GOLD pays for itself faster.
Is the IoT connection charged extra?
No. The Danube Online connection in the SILVER class is included as standard and free of charge.
What does remote monitoring offer in practice?
You see how many cycles have been completed, what the consumption is and whether the machine is reporting an error. Service can connect faster, and problems can often be spotted before staff call.
Can programs be transferred to other machines?
Yes, via the USB port. If a site has multiple identical dryers, programs only need to be set once.
Is it worth adding Care Dry?
If the volume and types of laundry change daily, yes — the sensor stops the cycle when the laundry is dry, so it is not dried unnecessarily. If the routine is consistent and cycle times are already optimised, the benefit is smaller.
Is an exhaust duct needed?
Yes, the SILVER series requires an air exhaust. Only heat pump dryers can operate without an exhaust.
