Electric commercial washing machines from 8kg to 150kg, sold and installed by WALE for businesses across Ireland. Built for daily commercial use, ranging from a single guesthouse laundry room to a full industrial laundry.
Capacity range
Power supply
A commercial washing machine is a heavy-duty appliance built for daily, high-volume laundry use, rather than the occasional load a domestic machine is designed for. Reinforced drums, industrial-grade motors and faster spin cycles let it process far more linen per day, extract more water before drying and hold up under continuous operation.
WALE’s washing machine range runs from 8kg for smaller sites through to 150kg for hospital laundry departments and industrial operations, and every model runs on electric power. Capacity is matched to your daily linen volume during a site assessment, so the machine you buy fits how your business operates day to day.
The same machine range covers very different jobs depending on the sector. Here is what a commercial washing machine solves in each of the 14 industries WALE supplies.
Removes pathogens from bedding and theatre linen with programmable thermal disinfection cycles.
Handles daily bedding and personal laundry on site, without waiting on an external collection day.
Keeps linen turnaround fast enough for same-day room changeovers during peak occupancy.
Fits smaller laundry rooms while still processing daily bedding and towel loads on site.
Clears heavy loads of towels and teamwear between training sessions and fixtures.
Manages laundry for student accommodation, sports kits and catering linen under one roof.
Washes bedding and soft furnishings at the temperatures daily hygiene routines call for.
Copes with high guest turnover during peak season without falling behind on linen stock.
Built for constant daily cycling across multiple users and load types, hour after hour.
Removes heavy soiling from uniforms and PPE that a domestic machine can’t process.
Washes bulky items such as horse blankets and stable wear that need a larger drum.
Space-efficient models fit compact utility rooms on vessels and offshore platforms.
Supports hygiene compliance by washing uniforms and cloths on site to a controlled standard.
Keeps uniforms and kit ready between shifts, without waiting on an external contractor.
Choose a washing machine too small, and you run more cycles than your day allows for. Go for a machine too large, and you pay for capacity you rarely use. Here’s how you can pick the right capacity:
| BUSINESS EXAMPLE | ESTIMATED DAILY VOLUMN | RECOMMENDED CAPACITY |
|---|---|---|
| Small guesthouse or B&B (5-10 rooms) | Up to 40kg per day | 8-15kg |
| Boutique hotel or care home (20-40 rooms/residents) | 80-150kg per day | 20-40kg |
| Large hotel, hospital ward or sports club | 200-400kg per days | 60-100kg |
| Hospital laundry department or industrial site | 500kg or more per day | 120-150kg |
These figures offer a rough starting estimate. Two businesses of the same size may require different capacities depending on what they wash and how often.

The same WALE team handles your quote, installation and every service call after that.
Recommendations account for your sector's wash cycles, whether that's thermal disinfection or heavy soil removal.
Most sites pair a washing machine with a matching dryer, and add finishing equipment for flat linen.
Most commercial washing machines need a dedicated cold and, in some models, hot water feed, along with drainage sized for a faster fill and empty cycle than a domestic supply is built for. WALE checks your existing plumbing during the site assessment and specifies any upgrades that needs to be completed before installation.
A commercial washing machine is built with heavier bearings, reinforced drums and industrial-grade motors for continuous daily use, so it holds up under a workload that would wear out a domestic machine within a year or two. Lifespan depends on cycle volume and maintenance, which is why WALE offers a service schedule at installation.
It depends on local water hardness. Hard water can affect wash results and shorten machine life over time, so WALE reviews your site’s water quality and advises whether a softener or dosing system needs to be added alongside the machine.
Beyond the machine’s footprint, most models need clearance at the front for loading and at the rear or side for servicing and ventilation. WALE confirms exact clearance requirements for your chosen capacity during the site assessment, along with door widths needed for delivery.
