The Shieling Professional
Dryer
A serious piece of kit, which can save up to 95% of your drying costs,
and impress and please your customers.
"potential for huge reductions in costs and emissions"
So says the Energy Technology Centre at the National Engineering Laboratory - click here for the full report .
Case study 1 : Shieling
Holidays on Mull
At Shieling Holidays on Mull we have 90 beds, and visitors can hire
linen. Apart from a few times at the peak, when we have to use
the tumble dryer due to limited storage, we dry all, say 95%, in our
Shieling Dryers. And the wind blows out the creases, cutting
cottage ironing by a third.
Our visitors love the Dryers, not just for laundry, but for walking gear, boots, wet tents and everything
else.

Installation
The Professional Dryer is
2 metres high, 5 long and
4 wide. The sides are at 45 degrees. It needs a flattish space of 7 by 5 metres, set across the
prevailing wind.
You bed it in concrete - see installation.
Easy; or we'll
quote if you're in Scotland.
Case study 2 : the Holy
Isle Project off the Isle of Arran
(see their blog on
http://holyisland.wordpress.com/)
The Buddhist Interfaith Centre for World Peace and Health
have 65 beds and a heavy wash load, especially on the changeovers of
their long and
short courses. The Shieling Dryer has cut their routine drying costs
by 70 to 80%. They still tumble dry for the last 10 minutes
for storage, and also tumble dry some full loads at peak times.
Use of the Dryer
There are 10 lines on each side, a total of 100 metres, with 177
mm horizontally between the lines, so plenty of air gets through. Simplicity itself.
 The Holy Isle have kindly let
us use this photo to show how a little "Mindfulness" helps you hang washing to
the advantage of everyone.
Use the detachable shield to deal with slanting rain.
