I think they did come back for a partner searching and re-launch in around 2007, the Monotub website is still in place, interesting design, and worked well, I contacted them in 2007 when they started to re-publisise and they sent me the rest of the coloured drums, orange, green & light blue ...
It was a unique machine with the removable drum, the programming & controls where very simple to understand & use and the dispenser was in a league with Asko, smooth side, deep and plenty of jets to blast every bit of detergent residue away!! The schematics are great showing the outer poly tub, inner stainless drum sleeve which the coloured removable drum slides into... CLICK HERE TO GO TO chestermikeuk's LINK |

Hi Andy, now that I`ve seen the schematics its gotten me more than curious, no vids that I know of, I wonder if the back stainless steel panel of the inner drum acts as the spider etc??, also the drive shaft appears hollow which would allow for the pump spray to pass through it, and emerge in the connecting outlet for the slide-in drum....I wonder if that was the weakness with the shafts on initial batch, I could imagine you would need a solid shaft to cope with 7kg of wet clothing banging around!! The removable drum slides into the stainless liner and then locks into the stainless filter panel, its a three way brass fitting so can only fit one way, and a large rubber fitting, the door has an interlock connected to this, it wont operate unless the drum is locked into position.
I need to take a look and take the rubber belt cover off & see if the back of the drum has a moulded back panel & spider with belt drive pulley etc,(P6 MRUM BASE1QG) and that the outer back drum panel that we see in my pics is another moulded protrusion of the whole tank...puzzling the more I look!! Thomas, I think the inner drum stainless is acting as the spider and shoulders a lot of the direct weight, the removable drum fits so tight it acts as a weight diffuser as well, the thing I noticed in the Mueller is that the drive is the tripod you see when the drum is taken out, my worry would be you have to have a space between the slider drum and outer drum which in itself puts all the weight on that tripod shaft & bearing, as the removable drum cannot be clamped on and bolted with strength like a normal FL (so the inner drum doesnt move at all)I see the potentail for "PLAY) in the drum - and that puts more pressure on the drum shaft & bearings, but only time will tell on that one!! |
