This model is a good fit where the site needs professional linen finishing, but does not need the size or throughput of a larger commercial laundry ironer.

• Suitable for regular flatwork such as sheets, pillowcases, table linen and similar items.
• Useful where a 1400mm working width is enough for the site’s linen range.
• Suitable for sites that want a professional finish and a more efficient alternative to hand ironing.
• Practical where front feed and front return help simplify the laundry room workflow.
• Suitable where the machine needs to be positioned against a wall to save space.

Rotary ironers need to be selected around linen size, site layout, electrical supply, operator workflow and staff training. The PRI 214 is compact for a professional ironer, but it still needs a suitable laundry room and safe working space.

• Confirm that a 400v, 16A three-phase electrical supply is available.
• Check that the 1400mm working width suits the largest items you need to finish.
• Allow enough space at the front of the machine for safe feeding, return and operator movement.
• Check that staff can be trained in correct feeding, temperature selection, cleaning and waxing.
• Confirm that the floor, access route and final location are suitable for a 140kg machine.

Another model may be better if the site has larger flatwork, higher linen volumes or a workflow that needs a wider roller or greater production capacity.

• Choose a larger ironer if 1400mm working width is too small for the site’s sheets or table linen.
• Consider a wider Miele PRI model where throughput is the main operational pressure.
• Consider whether folding tables, finishing tables or a different linen finishing process may suit the workflow better.
• Review staffing levels, laundry sorting and residual moisture before assuming the ironer alone will solve throughput issues.
• Ask a&f to check the full laundry flow if washers and dryers are producing more work than this ironer can comfortably finish.

The PRI 214 EL STW is an electrically heated rotary ironer with a 400v, 16A supply requirement, 7.0 kW total connected load and 6.5 kW electric heater rating. The datasheet lists external dimensions of 1032mm high, 1979mm wide and 650mm deep.

• Electrical connection: 3N AC 400V 50-60HZ, displayed for customers as 400v, 16A.
• Total connected load: 7.0 kW.
• Net weight: 140kg.
• Maximum floor load: 1400 N.
• Laundry infeed and outfeed are both at the front.
• The machine can be set up against a wall, subject to access and safe working space.

If this machine is replacing an older rotary ironer, the key checks are working width, electrical supply, available space, staff routine and whether the site’s current linen sizes still match a 1400mm ironer.

The a&f historic model source lists PRI140 as the relevant current 1400mm rotary ironer family, with historic equivalents including HM21-140, HM5314 and B314/CM904. The PRI 214 is not separately listed in that source, so these should be treated as closely related 1400mm rotary ironer search and replacement references rather than a confirmed one-to-one replacement list.

This model may be relevant when replacing or searching for older Miele rotary ironer models including PRI140, HM21-140, HM5314 and B314/CM904.

This is a professional rotary ironer, not a washing, drying or disinfection machine. It should be considered as part of the wider laundry process, including washing quality, drying or residual moisture, linen handling and operator training.

• The datasheet lists automatic finger guard, FlexControl footswitch and pause function.
• The datasheet lists CE, UKCA, VDE, VDE-EMC, WEEE and compliance with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
• Sound pressure level is listed as below 70 dB(A) re 20 µPa.
• The recycling rate is listed as 98%.
• a&f can help confirm whether this ironer is suitable for the site’s linen type, staff process, utilities and laundry room layout.
