These are really cool, this looks like a newer version of the one my brother has. Do check the electrical requirements before buying this unit. The listing says 203 volts, that may be 208 volts and if so this may have a three phase motor and may not be usable for most of us. If it is 3 phase it would work at our warehouse, but I think I already have an extractor lined up for there. |

While the nub in the center tub of this Bock extractor may have other uses it also reminds those loading that items go *around* the sides of the tub. That nub area should always be visable after loading and or one should be able to reach down (with the machine off!)the center and feel it.
If washing is loaded willy-nilly there is a great chance it will be torn if stretched across the center of the tub. |

Launderess, when I used the Extractors back in the mid 70's into the 80's. The instruction at the mat always ask to place one towel over the load and tuck around the basket. It was advise to keep cloths from flying out during use. When did they stop doing this? When I look at the basket holes, I wonder why they never used smaller holes to reduce fabric wear? |

Just imagine a Dexter twin tub wringer with a bock, I would be surprised if a load of laundry took more than 20 minutes with a set up like that. |

Ideal soon became for most wash to emerge from extractors or final spin cycle of washer with just enough residual moisture to allow going straight to ironing/pressing.
Early on places had things called "cold tumblers" which were basically dryers without heat. The idea was to fluff up and loosen the often packed mass of wash that came from extractors before things could be finished/ironed. In lieu of such a machine workers called "shakers" would do the job. Some laundries like in domestic settings simply put things into heated clothes dryers and took them out when "damp dry" for ironing. The heat and tumbling also remove a good big of creasing so it could be argued less ironing would be required. |
