The machine is a free-swinging model i.e. the outer drum and motor
bridge and suspended in the machine chassis via a spring
suspension with a strong spring in each corner of the machine. Each
spring has a shock absorber which dampens the movement of the
machine.
The wash drum or inner drum is driven by two motors via a V-belt:
one motor for washing and distribution speed and one for spin speed.
The inner drum is mounted in the outer drum with two heavy duty
bearings at the back plate and is sealed with two V-rings.
The motors are suspended underneath on a motor support with a belt
tensioning device. The motors are mechanically coupled to each
other with V-belts. During wash and distribution speed the spin motor
transmits power to the drum.
The water inlet and drain are both situated under the outer drum. This
improves the flow during filling and prevents water vapour from
entering the detergent compartment.
The robust square door is locked with a handle which is interlocked
by a safety locking device when the machine is running.
The operating panel contains several buttons for manual control of
certain functions: restart button; indication light; thermostat and a flat-
card unit through which programmed cards can control the washing
programmes.
Reverses, level switches, relays etc are placed in the automatic unit,
which is easily accessible from above and can be replaced via a
plug-in system.
The machine housing consists of hot-dip galvanised, painted steel
plates and stainless steel sheets, painted on the front and sides. It
has a stainless door (and front, on request).
