The UniMac commercial dryer price you are quoted in the UAE depends on five things: drum capacity, heating type, the dryer series, the controls and what is included for installation. A compact 9 kg dryer for a clinic and a 55 kg industrial tumble dryer for a hotel laundry are very different machines, so there is no single price for the brand. This guide explains what moves the price up or down and how to get a quotation you can compare.
What decides the UniMac commercial dryer price?
1. Drum capacity
UniMac dryers run from around 9 kg up to large industrial models above 50 kg. A good rule is to pair a dryer with a drum roughly 1.5 to 2 times the capacity of the washer that feeds it, because wet linen needs room to tumble. Larger drums mean a larger frame, motor and heater, so the UniMac commercial dryer price rises with capacity.
2. Heating type
In the UAE, electric heating is the most common choice because gas supply is not always available. Gas-heated dryers are cheaper to run where gas is available. Steam-heated dryers suit laundries with a boiler. Heat pump dryers cost more to buy but use far less energy, which matters when the dryer runs all day.
3. Dryer series
- UDR series: heavy-duty tumble dryers for hotels, clinics and small laundries
- UU series: industrial tumble dryers for higher volumes
- UT series: large industrial dryers for central laundries
4. Controls and features
Controls are the next item that moves the UniMac commercial dryer price. Basic controls set time and temperature. UniLinc controls add programmable cycles, moisture sensing that stops the dryer when linen is dry, and usage tracking. Moisture sensing alone can cut energy use and protect linen from over-drying, so it is worth the extra cost for busy laundries.
5. Installation and support
A dryer needs exhaust ducting, make-up air and the correct electrical supply. A quotation that includes delivery, ducting, connection and commissioning will be higher than a bare machine price but avoids surprises on site. Also check that the supplier keeps spare parts and has trained technicians in the UAE.
UniMac commercial dryer price: electric versus gas over time
The UniMac commercial dryer price you pay on day one is only part of the cost. A dryer runs for hours every day, so energy use adds up. Where gas is available, a gas dryer usually costs less to run. Where it is not, a heat pump dryer can reduce electricity use significantly compared with a standard electric model. Ask your supplier to show the running-cost difference for your daily load before you decide. ENERGY STAR publishes guidance on dryer efficiency that is useful for comparison.

UniMac commercial dryer price: frequently asked questions
Is a UniMac dryer more expensive than other brands?
The UniMac commercial dryer price reflects an industrial machine, so they cost more than light commercial dryers. The difference is in the build: heavier frames, larger motors and controls designed for continuous use. For a laundry that runs daily, the longer life and lower energy use usually make UniMac the lower-cost option over time.
Does Abelco install the dryer?
Yes. We deliver, position, connect and commission the dryer, including exhaust ducting where required.
What warranty is included?
UniMac dryers come with the manufacturer warranty. Standard warranty conditions are stated on every Abelco quotation.
