PAK 530 D Carpet Dryer and Dehumidifier

Carpet drying and dehumidification for professional laundries

The carpet dryer and dehumidifier is listed as PAK 530 D and operates at 380 V with a stated total power of 5.3 kW. It is intended to support the drying of washed carpets in an enclosed drying room.

Model confirmation: the product listing names PAK 530 D, while the original technical table identifies the model as D 7000. Both references are retained below. Please confirm the exact machine and its configuration with PAK Makina before ordering; the two model names should not be assumed to be interchangeable.

Why use an enclosed carpet drying room?

Drying washed carpets is one of the most time-consuming stages in a carpet laundry. Outdoor drying depends on the weather and can take seven to ten days in unfavourable conditions. A carpet centrifuge removes much of the water before the drying stage. The source description gives an indicative dryness figure of 90–95% after spinning; the actual residual moisture depends on the carpet and the spinning process.

Long drying times delay the return of carpets to customers. For businesses that collect payment on delivery, this also delays payment. Faster, well-managed drying can help improve turnaround and customer service. Under suitable operating conditions, a dedicated drying system can help a laundry work towards a delivery turnaround of around 24 hours, although this is not a guaranteed drying or delivery time.

Outdoor drying also exposes carpets to sunlight, airborne dust, vehicle exhaust and bird droppings. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can affect colour. Drying carpets in an enclosed room reduces exposure to these outdoor contaminants and provides a more controlled environment. Correct handling and drying conditions also matter when working with pale or difficult-to-dry carpets, which may otherwise develop yellowing or water marks.

The aim is to dry washed carpets efficiently while making the process more manageable for the laundry and more convenient for its customers. Customers increasingly ask how their carpets are dried, whether a drying machine is used and whether the carpets are left outdoors. Explaining the drying process clearly helps them understand the service they are choosing. In the early 2010s, questions often focused on whether a laundry used automatic washing machines; drying methods are now another point customers may consider.

Drying-room layout and loading

The source installation example uses an insulated room measuring approximately 5 × 7 m, or 35 m². It specifies carpet hanging rails with supports at two or three points along the 7 m span and spacing of approximately 13–15 cm between rails. Confirm the rack design, load-bearing requirements and room layout for the actual installation.

For that room, the source gives an indicative load of 400–500 m² of carpet and an average drying period of 12–16 hours. These figures are conditional: achievable loading and drying time vary with carpet thickness and material, moisture remaining after spinning, hanging arrangement, insulation, airflow, room temperature and ambient conditions. The unit's stated total power is 5.3 kW; electricity consumption depends on operating time and control cycles.

How the carpet dryer works

Washed and spun carpets are hung on the racks, the machine is started and the drying-room door is closed. The system monitors the room's temperature and humidity and operates automatically. Warm air promotes evaporation from the carpets, and the dehumidifying unit draws moisture from the air, condenses it into water and discharges the collected water outside the room.

According to the source description, ventilation fans fitted on two room walls are activated when temperature or humidity rises above the control settings. Their purpose is to help bring conditions back towards the selected levels. Confirm the controls, fans and installation components supplied with the quoted configuration.

Comparing machines and other applications

Prices can vary with the quality of materials and workmanship, the configuration and the type of refrigerant used. Compare the quoted specifications and supplied equipment when reviewing different carpet drying machines.

The source also describes dehumidifying equipment being used to dry flood-affected buildings, support drying after painting and decorating, dry manufactured exterior architectural mouldings, and dry fruit and vegetables. Suitability for a particular application, especially food processing, must be confirmed for the proposed machine and operating conditions.

Technical specifications

The following values are reproduced from the source table, which identifies the model as D 7000. They require confirmation against the PAK 530 D configuration being offered. The listed moisture-removal capacity is conditional on operating conditions and is not a guaranteed result for every drying room.

Supply voltage	380 V
Defrost	Automatic
Stated moisture-removal capacity	400–500 L / 24 h
Dimensions (width × length × height)	110 × 95 × 132 cm

Warranty, configuration and ordering

The warranty period is two years. Alternative dimensions and power ratings can be discussed, and export delivery is available. Confirm the exact model, configuration, current production lead time, delivery arrangements and available payment options for your order.

Send your room dimensions, expected carpet load and available electrical supply through our technical support form so the configuration can be checked before you order.

Legacy source terms and current order confirmation

The earlier source excerpt mentioned an average 1-week manufacturing period, a 1-year warranty and credit-card instalments. These are legacy source statements, not the current order terms. The approved product warranty is now 2 years. Confirm any made-to-order production lead time and the currently available payment methods in the written quotation; the old instalment statement does not establish that card payment is currently enabled.
