This model is a good fit where linen presentation, staff efficiency and consistent finishing quality matter, and where the site has enough linen volume to justify a professional rotary ironer.

• Suitable for sites needing a 1660mm working width for regular flatwork finishing.
• Useful where operators need a clear front-to-back linen workflow.
• Appropriate for care homes, hotels, laundries, launderettes, hospitals and managed residential settings.
• Can be positioned against a wall where the site layout allows.
• Designed for professional use with touch controls, flexible laundry feed and operator safety features.

Rotary ironers need careful planning. The right model depends on linen size, daily volume, available space, power supply, operator training and the intended workflow through the laundry room.

• Confirm that a 400v, 25A three-phase electrical supply is available.
• Check that the 1660mm working width is suitable for the linen being processed.
• Allow enough space around the ironer for safe feeding, operation, collection and servicing.
• Check the floor can support the machine’s 189kg net weight and 1890 N maximum floor load.
• Make sure staff can be trained in safe feeding, temperature selection, speed control and routine care.

The PRI 217 gives more working width than smaller PRI models, but it is not always the right choice. A smaller, larger or differently specified finishing solution may be more appropriate depending on the site.

• Choose a smaller ironer if space is limited or linen volumes are light.
• Consider a wider or higher-throughput ironer where larger linen items or heavier daily volumes are being processed.
• Consider a finishing table or alternative finishing process where garments, shaped items or non-flatwork are the main workload.
• Review the full laundry flow if washing and drying output is higher than the ironing process can comfortably handle.
• Check whether gas-heated or alternative heating options are more suitable for the building services, if available in the wider range.

This is an electrically heated rotary ironer with a 400v three-phase supply requirement. It has a total connected load of 11.60 kW and an electric heater rating of 11.00 kW, so electrical capacity should be checked before ordering.

• Manufacturer electrical connection: 3N AC 400V 50-60HZ.
• External dimensions: 1110(h) x 2238(w) x 650(d) mm.

• Heat dissipation into the room: 11.00 MJ/h.
• Sound pressure level: <70 dB(A) re 20 µPa.

a&f can help check access, power supply, room layout, ventilation comfort and whether the operator workflow is practical before the machine is specified.

If this ironer is replacing an older rotary ironer, the most important checks are working width, roller diameter, available space, electrical supply, operating height, user workflow and whether staff need refresher training.

The PRI 217 sits in the current Miele Professional rotary ironer range, but the historic mapping currently available in the a&f product source document lists older model equivalents for PRI 120, PRI 140 and PRI 160, not PRI 217.

Older model search terms to confirm before publishing: [OLDER PRI 217 EQUIVALENT TO CONFIRM]. Current related Miele rotary ironer model terms include PRI210, PRI214 and PRI217.

This model includes safety and operating features that support professional use, but safe results still depend on correct installation, staff training, routine cleaning and the right operating process.

• Automatic finger guard and incorrect feed recognition are included.
• FlexControl footswitch, pause function and favourite programme support day-to-day operation.
• Clean and wax heater plate indicator supports routine care of the ironing surface.
• APRI 319 care set for the heater plate is included in the scope of delivery.
• The datasheet lists CE, UKCA, VDE, VDE-EMC, WEEE and Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC compliance.

Operators should be trained on safe feeding, appropriate temperature selection, correct laundry moisture levels and routine care so the ironer performs properly in everyday use.
