drying machines

Heated spinning appliances

Drying machines are appliances that remove moisture from wet items, most commonly clothes dryers that tumble laundry in heated air.

Industrial drying machines handle larger loads or specialized materials.

The term is slightly more formal than dryer, appearing in technical contexts, product categories, and older usage: The laundromat installed new drying machines.
