Towel Roller Machines

cloth roll towel processing equipment

Darman Manufacturing offers several different models of roll towel processing equipment built exclusively for cloth roll toweling. Our varying sizes of towel roller machines offer processing speeds from 50 to 1000 towels per eight-hour day. Each system also has adaptors to fit outlets other than 120 volts.


The E-Z Winder/Unwinder is the most basic piece of processing equipment we produce. It is manually operated and requires no electricity. The E-Z Winder/Unwinder is a perfect fit for processing only a small amount of toweling.

  • Compact size

  • No electricity required

  • Manually operated

  • Can wind and unwind toweling

The Darman Towel Winder is used for winding only. It is usually purchased by a medium- to large- volume laundry.

The winder has a built-in beater bar, which helps straighten the washed toweling, ensuring that it will roll up smooth and straight.

By changing the length of the drive belt, the processing time to roll a towel can be varied from 40 seconds to 21 seconds.

The motor runs only when you step on the foot pedal and then the drive roller and beater bar are engaged.

The Single Lane Unwinder is used only for unwinding and flaking the soiled towel as it comes in to be washed. It is normally purchased by a medium- to large-volume laundry.

The unwinder is easily loaded and unloaded by only one operator, and automatically unwinds the towel once it is loaded. The flake (flat fold) length of the towel can be adjusted, and an electric towel sensor automatically turns off the machine if the towel wraps around the drive roller.
