UniMac UT Series Commercial Tumble Dryers

Pick a capacity to get started

30 and 45 lb are stack tumblers. 55-200 lb are single tumblers paired with washer-extractors of similar capacity.

What makes UniMac UT different

Three features show up in the SKU table that materially change cycle times, fire risk, and operating cost — ProCapture, OPTidry, and CARE.

UT075 optional add-on

ProCapture™ — Industry-First Lint Capture

ProCapture by UniMac is an industry-first patented process that captures up to 98 percent of tumble dryer lint (per UniMac internal lab testing on bath towel loads at 185°F). For high-volume commercial operations, that translates to real money — reduced exhaust-duct cleaning frequency, lower fire risk in the duct system, and dramatically less lint accumulation in airflow components inside the dryer itself.

For healthcare laundries, fire department turnout-gear processing, and high-occupancy hospitality, ProCapture is one of the highest-ROI options UniMac offers.

• Captures up to 98% of dryer lint at the source
• Significantly reduces exhaust ducting cleaning frequency
• Lower fire risk from lint buildup in ducting
• Available on UT075 (75 lb) only — Natural Gas heating, Q or X voltage required
• Optional add-on at quote time — call for pricing

UniLinc Touch SKUs (Packages 1-3)

OPTidry™ — Over-Dry Prevention That Saves Energy + Linen Life

OPTidry is UniMac's moisture-sensing system. Instead of running on a timer, the dryer continuously monitors load moisture and stops the cycle the moment fabrics reach optimal dryness — preventing the wasted energy and accelerated fabric wear that come from over-drying.

• Stops cycle precisely when load reaches target moisture
• Lower energy cost per cycle vs timer-based drying
• Extends linen service life (over-drying degrades fabric)
• Standard on Packages 1, 2, and 3 (UniLinc Touch controls)
• Not available on M-Series (Packages 4-5) or DDC (Packages 6-7)

UT075 Package 2 standard

CARE Fire Suppression — Built-In Dryer Fire Protection

Commercial dryer fires are a real risk — lint buildup, oil-soaked towels, and combustion-byproduct-laden turnout gear can all ignite during or after drying. CARE is UniMac's built-in fire suppression system that automatically contains a fire if one ignites inside the cylinder.

• Built-in fire suppression triggered by heat detection
• Protects equipment, building, and operators
• Important for healthcare laundries handling soiled surgical linens
• Important for fire department turnout-gear processing (combustion residue)
• Standard on Package 2 SKUs (75 lb / UniLinc Touch / CARE config)

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these tumble dryers for residential use?

No. UniMac UT tumble dryers are commercial-grade equipment built for institutional and industrial laundry operations. They are sold for commercial use only and are not suitable for residential homes.

What is the difference between UniLinc Touch, M-Series, and DDC controls?

UniLinc Touch is UniMac's premium capacitive touchscreen control with 34 language options, OPTidry over-dry prevention, programmable cycle library, and CORE remote-monitoring compatibility. M-Series is a programmable control with up to 30 auto-dry and time-dry cycles — a great mid-tier option without the touchscreen. DDC (Dual Digital Control) is the economy option allowing operators to set temperature, heating time, and cooling time per cycle. Pick UniLinc for full institutional operation, M-Series for flexibility without the touchscreen, DDC when budget matters most.

What is ProCapture lint capture and which models have it?

ProCapture is UniMac's patented lint capture technology that captures up to 98% of tumble dryer lint (per UniMac internal lab testing) — dramatically reducing the amount of lint dumped into exhaust ducting and the building's surroundings. Lower lint accumulation means less duct cleaning, less fire risk, and less wear on the dryer's airflow system over time. ProCapture is available on UT075 (75 lb) configurations only, with N (natural gas) heating and Q or X voltage. It is an optional modifier — call us to add ProCapture to your quote.

What is OPTidry over-dry prevention?

OPTidry is UniMac's moisture-sensing system that stops the cycle when fabrics reach optimal dryness — preventing over-drying that wastes energy and shortens linen life. OPTidry is standard on all Packages 1-3 (UniLinc Touch controls).

Should I get a reversing or non-reversing cylinder?

Reversing cylinder is the default for most commercial operations — it tumbles fabric in alternating directions which improves drying uniformity and significantly reduces tangling of bedding, towels, and turnout gear. Non-reversing is mechanically simpler and slightly less expensive, fine for facilities that handle small or uniform loads where tangling is not an issue.

What is CARE Fire Suppression and which models have it?

CARE is UniMac's built-in fire suppression system designed for industrial dryers handling soiled linens. Lint and oil-soaked rags in commercial laundries can spontaneously combust during or after drying — CARE provides automated suppression to contain that risk. CARE is standard on Package 2 SKUs (75 lb capacity, UniLinc Touch controls with CARE configuration).

Which heat source should I choose — Natural Gas, LP, Electric, or Steam?

Natural Gas (N) is the most economical for most US commercial operations with utility gas service. Steam (S) is best for high-volume institutional operations with existing boiler infrastructure — fast heating, low operating cost. Liquid Propane (L) is for facilities without natural gas. Electric (E) is for facilities with neither gas nor steam, or where electric is preferred for compliance reasons. Pricing varies — call us at (732) 681-0500 for a complete delivered-and-installed quote.

Does the price include freight and installation?

No. Prices shown are for the equipment only. Freight and installation are quoted separately based on your facility location, exhaust ducting, gas/electric/steam connections, and site conditions. Call (732) 681-0500 for a complete delivered-and-installed quote.

Are these dryers compatible with NFPA 1851 fire turnout-gear drying cycles?

Yes — UniMac UT dryers can be configured for NFPA 1851-compliant turnout gear drying cycles. For fire department applications, the Package 2 (CARE Fire Suppression) is particularly relevant since turnout gear can carry combustion residue. See our /industries/fire-department-ppe-equipment page or call (732) 681-0500.

How long is the lead time?

Standard configurations on common capacities (30-120 lb) typically ship in 4-8 weeks. Larger dryers (170-200 lb) and CARE Fire Suppression configurations can run longer. We confirm current lead time at quote.

Do you offer financing or leasing?

Yes. Through Alliance Laundry Systems' preferred lenders we coordinate equipment loans, capital leases, and operating leases.
