Layout options

Six ways to fit out the container

Each container size was laid out three ways with the quoted machines. Stacked units wash and dry at the same time in separate drums. All-in-one units wash and then dry in one drum, so a load occupies the machine for the whole cycle. Separate machines let washers and dryers be matched to demand.

Drying energy
Reference product capacity (6.5 kg per machine)

Equipment prices are EXW from the MKN quotation and cover machines only. Electrical load is the sum of each machine's listed motor and heater ratings, for early utility planning; the MEP engineer will set the actual demand. Gas drying adds $150 per drying machine and was quoted for the XTH-12 and HG-15 only. HG-15 is a provisional match for the dryer shown in the model.

Equipment

Quoted machines

Four commercial models quoted by Shanghai MKN. All have stainless cabinets, accept 50 or 60 Hz supply, and can heat by electricity, steam or gas.

Suppliers

Who is quoting

Machines and the container conversion come from separate suppliers. Tongli Design Group coordinates both, checks each company's registration and handles negotiation for HotelConsult.
