Industrial Washing Machine
The first electric retail washer was popularized back in 1904 and close to a million units wee sold in 1928. But then the economy tanked in the Depression and sales dropped. After the depression retail sales skyrocketed and now you can find a Sears, Maytag, Admiral, Amana, Inglis, Kenmore, or GE in virtually every home or apartment.
Commercial machines are also sold to general consumers who desire function more than style. These machines are a more robust, longer-lasting, industrial-strength clothes-cleaning machines. They tend to have sharper edges and stainless steel designs to help prevent rust and corrosion from the soaps, bleaches and other cleaning additives. You will also find commercial, coin-operated machines installed in rows in both public private Laundromats. These might be front loading or top loading washers and are usually limited in function. Instead of offering a half a dozen wash cycle settings, you will usually find only two or three settings like normal, delicate, and heavy duty.
300 LBS Industrial Washing Machines
Industrial washer/extractors can be beasts of a machine that can hold up to 300 pounds of textiles at one time, and are often used for stone washing, pre-washing, bleach washing and other majorly hard-on-machine tasks including fabric dyeing.
Most industrial washing machines are computer controlled today and offer automatic soap, bleach and other chemical injection processes so a human never has to come in contact with these caustic ingredients. Computer chips weight the load, determine the correct amount of water, detergents, fabric softeners, wash cycles, rinse cycles and more. They are truly the ultimate in set-it-and-forget-it appliances.
Take a look at the photo. These units are massive and are often mounted on shock absorbers and require anchoring to a cement floor. Hydraulic cylinders allow the entire washer to lift and tilt as need to keep the load balanced especially during the water extraction process. A tunnel washer is a continuous processing machine. Instead of operating separate wash, rinse, spin cycles, this heavy-duty machine combines them all in a single process as the clothes make their way down a rotating stainless steel tube.
