Primus RX240 Marine Hardmount Washer-Extractor – 24 kg

Primus RX240 Marine Hardmount Washer-Extractor

The Primus RX240 Marine Hardmount Washer-Extractor is a robust professional washing machine with a 24 kg nominal capacity, rigid-mounted construction and a 240-litre stainless steel drum. Designed for demanding commercial laundry environments, the Primus RX range is also suitable for marine applications, where durability, dependable performance and efficient laundry operation are essential.

With its heavy-duty construction, large door opening and high-capacity water inlets, the RX240 provides a practical solution for onboard laundries requiring substantial washing capacity and reliable daily operation.

24 kg Professional Washing Capacity

The RX240 provides a nominal washing capacity of 24 kg at a 1:10 loading ratio and up to 27 kg at a 1:9 loading ratio.

Its stainless steel inner drum offers a 240-litre volume with a diameter of 750 mm. Therefore, the machine provides substantial laundry capacity while maintaining dimensions suitable for professional installations.

An extra-large 460 mm door opening simplifies loading and unloading. This helps operators handle larger quantities of linen efficiently during everyday laundry operations.

Hardmount Construction for Marine Applications

The RX240 uses a rigid-mounted hardmount design developed for demanding professional laundry environments. Primus specifically identifies the compact RX range as suitable for marine applications, making the RX240 a relevant option for onboard laundry installations.

The machine features a stainless steel drum and tub for durable operation. In addition, technicians can access all vital components from the front, helping simplify routine servicing and maintenance.

Up to 220 G Extraction

The RX240 operates at 690 rpm and 200 G in its standard configuration. With the Touch Control configuration, extraction can reach 725 rpm and 220 G.

Higher extraction helps remove more moisture from the laundry before drying. Consequently, less retained water needs to be removed during the following drying stage, supporting a more efficient overall laundry process.

Cascade Drum Technology

The RX240 features Primus Cascade Drum technology, which uses the specially designed drum surface to provide additional mechanical action during washing.

The cascading surface and perforation pattern support effective interaction between the textiles, water and detergent. Furthermore, the drum design contributes to efficient water extraction while helping maintain practical unloading after each wash cycle.

High-Capacity Water Handling

High-capacity water inlets support fast filling and help reduce unnecessary waiting time during wash cycles.

At 400 kPa, the RX240 provides a specified water inlet flow capacity of 133 litres per minute. It also features a large Ø76 mm drain valve capable of handling up to 210 litres per minute.

Together, these features support efficient water movement through the machine and productive professional laundry operation.

Flexible Touchscreen Control

The RX240 is available with XControl FLEX+, a fully programmable control system featuring customizable cycles and a 7-inch touchscreen.

The user-friendly interface includes operating instructions directly within the control system. Moreover, complete control content is available in 36 languages, making everyday operation easier for diverse and multinational crews.

Alternative control options include XControl with 15 preset programs and XTronic with six programs, two cycle modifiers and imbalance detection.

Flexible Heating and Electrical Configurations

The RX240 supports 18 kW electric heating, while a steam-heated version is also available.

Several electrical configurations are specified for the RX series, including:

• 200–240 V, 50/60 Hz, 1/3 phase
• 380–415 V + N, 50/60 Hz, 3 phase
• 380–415 V, 50/60 Hz, 3 phase
• 440–480 V, 50/60 Hz, 3 phase

This flexibility makes the RX range adaptable to different professional and marine installation requirements.

Practical Detergent Handling

The RX240 incorporates a patented soap hopper designed to improve operator ergonomics and simplify everyday detergent handling.

For installations requiring automated chemical dosing, liquid soap connections and pumps are also available as an option. Additional options include a third water inlet, stainless steel front and side panels, steam heating and an ECO version with a lower kW rating on request.

Reliable Onboard Laundry Solution

With its 24 kg capacity, rigid-mounted construction and durable stainless steel drum and tub, the Primus RX240 provides a strong solution for demanding onboard laundry requirements.

The combination of efficient extraction, high-capacity water handling, programmable controls and flexible electrical configurations makes it suitable for professional marine laundry installations.

Marine Technic can assist with selecting the appropriate RX240 configuration according to vessel type, available installation space, required laundry capacity, electrical supply and heating requirements.
