Installation
This manual is designed as a guide to the
installation and maintenance of the 18-pound,
25-pound, 27-pound, 35-pound, 50-pound,
and 80-pound capacity cabinet hardmount
washer-extractors.
Machine Overview
The design of the machine emphasizes
performance reliability and long service life.
In washer-extractor sizes up through the
50-pound capacity models, the cylinder is
supported with two sealed bearings mounted in
a machined cast iron trunnion. On 80-pound
capacity models, the cylinder and shaft
assembly is supported by two flange roller
bearing assemblies. Bearing housings are
bolted to a heavy gamma frame.
The 2-speed machines use one dual-speed
motor to drive the cylinder via a V-belt drive in
wash speed and extract speed.
The 3-speed 18-pound capacity models use
one triple-speed motor to drive the cylinder
at wash speed, medium extract speed, and
high extract speed. The 3-speed 35-pound,
50-pound, and 80-pound capacity models use
one single-speed and one dual-speed motor to
drive the cylinder at wash speed, medium
extract speed, and high extract speed.
AC drive-controlled washer-extractors use one
motor to drive the cylinder. In all capacities
except the 80-pound, the motor is driven via a
flat belt drive. The 80-pound capacity machine
uses a 3V belt drive.
A door-lock system prevents opening of the
stainless steel door when a cycle is in progress.
It also prevents operation of the machine when
the door is open.
An electrically operated drain valve is used
to retain the water and wash solution in the
machine during the wash and rinse steps.
The drain valve closes when power is applied
and opens when power is removed, allowing
the machine to drain in the event of a
power failure.
The cylinder is designed with lifters or ribs
that lift the garments from the wash solution
when the cylinder rotates at slow speed and
allow the garments to tumble back into the
solution. The cylinder is perforated, allowing
the water to pass through and drain from
within during the wash process and extract.
Electrical controls for the machine are housed
in a separate enclosure located underneath the
top cover of the machine.
