ABSTRACT:
Dewatering by centrifuges in continuous laundry batch processing with short cycle time. A method is provided in which a number of batches are loaded into a centrifuge with a horizontal or titled axis and dewatered together. During the transport of the batches into the drum of the centrifuge, its speed is two to four times the distribution speed (the rotational speed at which the centrifugal force acting on the washing material at the inner diameter of the rings of wash is equal to the weight of the washed material). When the batch is in the drum, the speed is reduced to the distribution speed. After a uniform distribution of the wash the next step is an acceleration to four to six times the distribution speed. By this method the greatest portion of water is removed and a uniform ring of laundry is formed and space is created for more batches, which can be loaded thereafter according to the method described before, forming annular rings of laundry distributed about the inner surface of the centrifuge drum. All batches loaded in this way are dewatered at high extraction speed. In a continuous laundry batch processing with large output and extremely short cycle times, the batches are stored between washing and dewatering in controlled movable containers and automatically transferred to a number of centrifuges. A suitable centrifuge for the implementation of the new method has buffers, which are pressed against the swinging part of the centrifuge by a working cylinder during loading and acceleration of the drum and which are released beyond the critical speed.
