The appliance consists of:
a containment barrel
(see figure A, point 1) within which it rotates; a drum or basket (fig. A, 2)
equipped with 3 or 4 flaps for the flapping of the fabric and holes, which allow the circulation and extraction of the bath;
a large porthole (fig. A, 3),
with automatic closing, for the introduction
of the fabric;
a fairing (fig. A, 4) which contains both the barrel and the drum;
the integral automated control panel (fig. A, 5) with variable card programmer for
adjust washing times, temperature,
liters of water needed, etc .;
a push-button panel for operations from
carry out manually.
In the rear part of the appliance there are two inputs for the introduction of hot and cold water and another for the introduction of steam, a drain and a motor equipped with variable speed inverter for partial or slower reversals of the rotation of the drum.
The basket treatment processing program includes: a) pre-washing; b) discharge; c) the short spin; d) filling the barrel with water added with auxiliary substances;
e) washing; f) rinsing; g) the total spin. The different treatments are obtained by varying the times, temperature and quantity of the bath in these phases.
The bath ratio is 1 to 10 for normal washing, while for special treatments this ratio
rises to 1 to 20.
At the end of the processing in the basket, the centrifuged fabrics, still damp, are treated in a drying machine
basket inside which hot air circulates.
