A UniMac washer extractor is built for one job: washing large volumes of linen every day with as little downtime as possible. UniMac is an Alliance Laundry Systems brand designed for on-premises laundries in hotels, hospitals, care homes, labour accommodation and commercial plants. Abelco supplies UniMac machines in the UAE, and this guide explains the range, how to pick the right capacity and what to check before you order.
What Is a UniMac Washer Extractor?
A washer extractor washes the load and then spins it at high speed to pull out water before drying. Compared with a domestic machine, a UniMac extractor has a heavy welded frame, industrial bearings and seals, a stainless steel drum and a programmable control that manages water levels, temperatures and chemical dosing. The higher the extraction force, the less water is left in the linen and the less time and energy the dryer needs.
People searching for a UniMac washing machine are usually looking for exactly this product. In the commercial world the washer and the extractor are one machine, so the terms are used interchangeably.
UniMac Extractor Range: Hardmount and Softmount
Hardmount washer extractors
Hardmount models are bolted to a reinforced concrete foundation. They are the most common choice for ground-floor laundries because they are simple, robust and cost less to buy. UniMac hardmount machines are offered in a wide spread of capacities, from compact units for small properties through to large models for central laundries, so one brand can cover an entire laundry room.
Softmount washer extractors
Softmount models have a suspended drum that absorbs vibration, so they do not need a special foundation. They suit upper floors, basements with services below and retrofit projects. Softmount UniMac extractor models also reach very high G-force extraction, which cuts drying time noticeably.
Controls and water saving
Depending on the model, UniMac machines are available with the UniLinc control family, which allows custom wash programs, records cycle data and flags errors for the maintenance team. Spray rinse technology on selected models reduces water use and shortens cycles compared with traditional bath rinsing. Ask us for the current specification sheet for the exact model you are considering, as features vary by series and heating type.
How to Choose the Right UniMac Washing Machine
- Capacity. Calculate your kilograms of dry linen per day, divide by the working cycles available and choose two or more machines rather than one oversized unit, so the laundry keeps running during maintenance. See our guide on sizing washer extractors.
- Mounting. Ground floor with a proper slab: hardmount. Upper floor or unknown slab: softmount.
- Heating. Electric is simplest; steam is efficient where a boiler is available; hot water feed can shorten cycle times.
- Extraction speed. Higher G-force costs more upfront but reduces dryer gas or electricity every single cycle.
- Matching dryers. Pair each washer with a tumble dryer of slightly larger capacity. Our UniMac commercial dryer guide covers the options.
Where UniMac Washer Extractors Work Best
Hotels and resorts value the consistent finish on sheets and towels. Hospitals and clinics use programmable high-temperature cycles for hygiene compliance. Labour camps and staff accommodation rely on the heavy-duty build for non-stop use. Commercial laundries and laundromats benefit from fast cycles and high extraction that increase daily throughput.

UniMac Industrial Washer or Commercial Washing Machine: Which Do You Need?
Buyers often search for a UniMac industrial washer or a UniMac commercial washing machine and wonder whether these are different products. In practice both terms describe the same family of UniMac washer extractors; the right choice depends on your load volume, the floor the machine will stand on and how many hours a day it will run.
- UniMac industrial washer (hardmount): bolted to a reinforced concrete floor, built for central laundries, large hotels and hospital laundries that run long shifts every day.
- UniMac commercial washing machine (softmount): free-standing with built-in suspension, so it can go on upper floors, in basements or in laundromats without special foundations. It also reaches higher extraction speeds, which shortens drying time.
- Barrier washer extractors: for hospitals and healthcare laundries that need a hygienic separation between soiled and clean linen, see the UniMac medical barrier washer extractors.
Abelco sizes each UniMac washer extractor to your daily kilograms of linen, available utilities and floor conditions, and supplies the matching dryers and finishing equipment across the UAE.
FAQ: UniMac Washer Extractor
Where can I buy a UniMac washer extractor in the UAE?
Abelco Equipment Trading LLC supplies UniMac washer extractors across the UAE, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman, with installation, commissioning and spare parts support.
What is the difference between a hardmount and softmount UniMac extractor?
A hardmount UniMac extractor is bolted to a concrete foundation and is the economical choice for ground floors. A softmount model has a suspended drum, needs no special foundation and reaches higher extraction speeds, which suits upper floors and reduces drying time.
Is a UniMac washing machine suitable for hotels and hospitals?
Yes. UniMac machines are designed for on-premises laundries and offer programmable cycles, high-temperature options and durable construction that suit hotels, hospitals and care facilities.
What capacity UniMac washer extractor do I need?
Start from your daily kilograms of dry linen and the number of cycles you can run per day. Most properties are better served by two or more mid-size machines than by one large unit. Abelco can size the machines for you free of charge.
Are UniMac spare parts available in the UAE?
Yes. Abelco supplies genuine spare parts for UniMac washer extractors and dryers, including seals, valves, belts, bearings and control components.
Is a UniMac industrial washer the same as a UniMac washer extractor?
Yes. UniMac industrial washers are washer extractors: they wash and then spin at high speed to remove water. Hardmount models are anchored to the floor for heavy daily use, while softmount models stand free on their own suspension.
Which UniMac commercial washing machine suits a hotel or laundromat?
Most hotels and laundromats choose softmount UniMac washer extractors because they need no special foundation and their high extraction speed cuts drying time. Abelco recommends the capacity and number of machines after reviewing your daily linen volume.
