Warwick Dryers Manufactured in the UK
Warwick dryers was established over 30 years ago. For many years they have been the only UK manufacturer of commercial dryers and extractors. It is a testament 
to the build quality of Warwick machines that many dryers and extractors built in the early years of the business are still fully operational to this day.
Not only do Warwick supply dryers and extractors they have recently added a range of washers.

Commercial dryer spare parts from Warwick Dryers Limited
These commercial laundry tumble dryers have a comprehensive spare parts list which can be viewed using the Warwick dryers parts page link.
Venting for these machines should be by 200 mm spiral steel ducting. The exhaust duct work must be connected by a competent ventilation engineer in accordance with DW142.
The duct-work system must give rise to no more than 1.25mbar (1 /2″wg) resistance between the dryer outlet and the exhaust termination. This must be when either one or all the machines are operating if they are in a banked system.
To enable the installer to measure the duct-work resistance, a pressure tapping point is also fitted at the dryer outlet.
A further tapping point must be fitted at the, exhaust system outlet. The installer can then measure the duct work resistance to ensure that it does not give rise to more than 1.25mbar (1/2″wg).
Installation
For ease of installation and to improve maintenance access. It is often preferable to use a section of flexible ducting to connect the dryer to the main outlet duct. If used, this flexible duct should be as short and as straight as possible. Any change of direction should always be carried out using pressed steel bends and elbows.
Round or square section ducting may be used provided it has the correct cross sectional area. Where two or more dryers feed into a main duct, the junctions should be angled for smooth airflow and the main duct increased in size by the area of each additional dryer outlet.
Where square section ducting is used as the main duct-work, it will be necessary to convert to round section for final connection onto the dryer(s) Care must be exercised to ensure that the back-drought shutters, fitted to VK30, VK50 and VK75 dryer, are not damaged when any duct-work is connected.
It should also be possible to move the shutters by twisting the hinge pin between the fingers. If there is any binding, remove the duct-work and investigate.
