Benefits of technology

The invention provides a method and apparatus for economically treating laundry by wet-treatment in a washing device and water-removing press. The method allows for the efficient use of the water-removing press, as the rinsing process is transferred to the press. The rinsing performance is improved, and fresh water is saved. The method also allows for the transfer of the laundry from the washing device to the water-removing press with only the bound liquor or some of it, reducing the amount of water needed. The water-removing press can be a water-removing press or a tunnel-type washing machine with limited rinsing capabilities. The invention also provides a method for prepressing the laundry in the water-removing press to improve rinsing performance.

Problems solved by technology

As a result, the known tunnel-type washing machines have a relatively complicated structure, and so tunnel-type washing machines are used only where large amounts of laundry are to be washed.
On account of the at least three successive zones, the drum has to have a relatively long length, as a result of which the known tunnel-type washing machines take up a great deal of space in the laundry facility.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]The apparatus shown here represents an inline washing system for the wet-treatment of items of laundry, in particular for washing, rinsing and removing water from said items of laundry. The apparatuses have a simplified tunnel-type washing machine 10, as a result of which said tunnel-type washing machine is, in contrast to conventional tunnel-type washing machines, also suitable for washing relatively small amounts of laundry starting from 150 kg / h.

[0023]The tunnel-type washing machine 10 has a drum 12 which can be driven in rotation about a preferably horizontal axis of rotation 11. A plurality of chambers 14 which follow one another in the passage direction 16 of the items of laundry (not shown) through the drum 12 are formed in the drum 12 by transversely direction partition walls 13. An outer drum which is associated with at least a part of the drum 12 it is not required by the tunnel-type washing machine 10 on account of the invention, for which reason a tunnel-type washi...

Abstract

An inline washing system to be formed from a tunnel-type washing machine (10) which only washes the items of laundry. Rinsing and also water removal are then performed in the downstream water-removal press (18). It has been found that the rinsing performance is better and fresh water can be saved as a result of this. It is therefore also possible to wash relatively small amounts of laundry using a tunnel-type washing machine (10) in an economical manner because the tunnel-type washing machine (10) can be designed without a rinse zone.

Description

STATEMENT OF RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a division of and claims the benefit of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 815,717 having a 35 USC 371(c) date of 21 May 2008, which is the US National Phase under Chapter II of the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) of and claims the benefit of PCT International Application No. PCT / EP2006 / 000433 having an International Filing Date of 19 Jan. 2006.1. TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The invention relates to a method for the wet-treatment of items of laundry in which the items of laundry are washed in a washing device and water is at least removed in at least one downstream water-removal device, and to an apparatus for the wet-treatment of items of laundry.2. RELATED ART[0003]Liquids are used for the wet-treatment of laundry, in particular for washing and rinsing items of laundry, with said liquids substantially being fresh water in the case of rinsing. The rinse result is also dependent on the quantity of fresh water used. However, for en...
