Single Motor Drive

Energy efficient drive technology:

• Ramps up to full speed smoothly without stepping, without fixed speeds, to programmable extraction speeds up to 625 rpm.
• Allows the machine to pin goods and then go into higher Extract speeds removing more water quickly before Sending the goods on to the dryer, ironer or tunnel finisher. More thoroughly extracted goods result in shorter dryer times and lower natural gas costs!
• Using fewer and less complicated parts, single motor drive open pockets promise less down time and dollars spent on maintenance…..therefore a reduced cost of ownership.
• A rinse reuse option is available to install Braun open pockets to a split trench system allowing for optimal water conservation.
