....the following would probably work - a very low level first rinse - high speed spin - say 1200 rpm - slow to distribution speed (machine is already balanced) - followed by a spray rinse at distribution speed - ramp to 1200rpm - repeat - final low level fabric softener rinse Mind, with the amount of water that would be used in the spin rinse, you could just have 3 low level rinses. Provided there is a high speed extraction between each one, they should be fine.... |

Have a spray rinse as the only rinse option, unless one wishes to move the laundry back to the wash tub for a "deep rinse". Extractor tubs on Unimac twin tubs looks quite like those on vintage Easy SpinDrier's with the center post that has small holes. While the tub spins slowly, a fine mist of water is sprayed at wash, which gets pulled through and spun out. The spray stops and extractor cranks up to full speed to spin out the water. This goes one several times then the final high speed spin to extract water. Problem with some top loader's spray rinse features, both then and now is either they were designed so water barely reached laundry, and or was bounced off same because of too high rpm speed did not allow water to penetrate the wash. |

I am wondering: Why do they make high sudsing detergents in South America? What would be their advantage over the low sudsing HE detergents like what we have in the United States? NorfolkSouthern |

Thomas, How loud or noisy is the machine when water is being sprayed into the wash drum, as you describe? |

I`m wondering if an effective sprayrinse would be possible at all in a frontloader without a center post keeping the center clear of laundry in the spincycle. Large items like sheets sometimes tend to span over the center in a frontloader and I`m thinking that would block most of the spray maybe even if it`s high pressure and slow revolution. A laser beam in the door boot and a mirror in the center of the drum`s backplane might help balancing properly.

Stefan And what would that laser beam do? open a hole on the sheets? I didn't mean to be sarcastic and I understood your idea. It was just to relax. Your idea sounds good, but the production costs would make the machines be available only at H.Stern stores. CLICK HERE TO GO TO thomasortega's LINK |

Thomas, just think of turbidity sensors in dishwashers. They work in a very similar way and cost only a few extra "cents". Nothing upscale about them at all... If the beam detects a sheet or something bulky like a pillow in the way of the water jet the machine could redistribute the load and if that fails as well, a traditional rinse would still be an option. Perhaps I should apply for a Patent *LOL* The Brazilian washers you mentioned are toploaders with a center post agitator, right ? |
