Design Washer Extractors Drum Design
Conventional cylinder perforation
Washing rough edges cause permanent friction of fibres, resulting in a higher loss in tensile strength increased lint formation Extraction the work is firmly pressed into the cylindrical drum perforation

perfectly smooth thus less loss of fibres
Extraction guaranteeing a very gentle washing action
Considerably reduced

Weighing system Washer Extractors Weighing system
Built-in electronic weighing scales for washer extractors Example: Kannegiesser SCALETRON
Module 2 Machine technology Chapter 2 Washer extractors 35
Weighing system Washer Extractors Weighing system SCALETRON
Features: Less labour - batch weighing and loading is one operation Setting of right water level in ratio to the load Setting of right dosing depending to water level Programmable minimum and maximum limits Data transfer to management Data Logging
Module 2 Machine technology Chapter 2 Washer extractors 36
Weighing system Washer Extractors Weighing system SCALETRON
Example: Maximum inbalance for washer extractor type "Favorit" equals 10% of nominal weight (1:10)
Weighing during loading helps avoiding inbalances!
Module 2 Machine technology Chapter 2 Washer extractors 37
Weighing system Washer Extractors Weighing system SCALETRON
Optimum loading to avoid inbalances equals 60-100% of nominal load for Open Pocket drums and 0-100% / n for divided drums (with n = number of compartments)
Weighing during loading helps avoiding inbalances!
