Durability Unmatched
Durability characterizes the GT-170. The tumbler features a rugged cylinder; dual motors with overload protection; steel front, side and top panels coated inside and out with electrostatically applied, baked-on paint for superior bonding and corrosion resistance; an all-belt drive system with cast iron pulleys and permanently sealed bearings for quiet, low-maintenance operation; and durable kick-plates and cart bumpers to protect from nicks and scrapes. Now wonder the GT-170 is backed by a limited three-year manufacturer's warranty.
Ergonomic & Easy to Maintain
Ergonomic and easy to maintain, the GT-170 Dryer features a self-cleaning lint screen that supports maximum airflow and promotes quick, efficient drying, along with an oversized steel door for easy loading and unloading. Conveniently accessible components simplify maintenance, while an automatic backdraft damper prevents outside air from entering the laundry room. The dryer's door is also reinforced with metal door bars and hinges, which protect the tumbler from outside impacts.
Energy-Efficiency
Several key features contribute to heightened energy-efficiency of the GT-170 Dryer, including instant electronic ignition, which reduces drying time and conserves energy; a modular electrical system for added reliability and easy servicing; and a multiple burner heat system to quickly and efficiently reach desired temperatures. The GT-170 Dryer delivers quick drying thanks to carefully balanced heat energy input and airflow. Perfectly balanced airflow prevents extra wear on fabrics and cuts drying time. The fully enclosed heat system captures intake air and preheats it before entering the tumbler combustion chamber—reducing energy costs without increasing drying time.
Highly Programmable Control
GT-170 Dryers boast a simple-to-use, highly advanced control—making laundries more productive. Equipped with a multitude of features, the control offers four time-dry, or auto-dry cycles and a no-heat cycle. An auto-dry feature reduces over drying and the resulting risk of fire by automatically cooling the load once the predetermined dryness level is reached. An anti-wrinkle feature reduces the occurrence of wrinkles by initiating an unheated airflow and tumble action after the end-of-cycle signal.
ISS Fire Sensing & Extinguishing Device
Girbau Industrial understands the importance of safety. That's why the GT-170 is available with the optional Integrated Sprinkler System (ISS), a sensing and extinguishing device that squelches dryer fires before they get out of control. ISS ensures laundries are better protected from the hazards and damage caused by dryer fires. ISS is always active – even after a load is complete – offering laundries added protection when laundry is unattended. If ISS sensors detect a fire in the dryer drum, the drum rotates and distributes water vapor into the load–extinguishing the fire. ISS continues to monitor the condition of the dryer and restarts if fire is again detected.
Radial Airflow & Quick-Drying Convenience
The GT-170 Dryer is designed with radial airflow – a system that captures heated intake air and distributes it evenly throughout the entire drying cylinder. Radial airflow ensures maximum load separation for big loads and bulky items and utilizes the tumbler's complete capacity for quick, even drying. As heated air is released from the top of the basket, linens, which are rotated from the bottom to the top of the basket, fall and separate throughout the entire cylinder. As linens fall and separate, heated air is pushed through and around the load—eliminating hot and/or damp spots in the load and expediting the drying process.
