WASHER-EXTRACTORS FX105 FX135 FX180 FX240 FX280 FS40 FS55

WASHINGEQUIPMENTFOR SOFTWASH®

FEATURES

The FX washer extractors are standard equipped with the revolutionary Cascade drum. The small bulges

between the perforations in this unique innovative concept provide many advantages, including:

• Water extraction is much more effi cient because, thanks to the CASCADE concept, there are

more perforations in the drum over the same surface area.

• Washing result is even better because the special shape of the CASCADE drum’s holes provides an

extra mechanical action during the wash cycle.

More special features include:

• Large drain valve (Ø 76 mm) ensures fast drainage and a shorter cycle time.

• Exceptionally large door opening on both the FX and the FS machines for easy loading and unloading.

• Frequency controlled motor, together with microprocessor control, produces a perfect washing result,

smooth operation and a longer lifespan.

• Soap is added to the washing water at the bottom of the tub at the most suitable time during the washing

cycle, thus avoiding direct contact with the linen and potential damage from the soap chemicals.

• Water for the cool-down process is added in the same way: this method prevents ‘thermal shock’, the main

cause of shrinkage.

• Machines can be provided with soap pumps – up to 13 connections on FX models.

• Frequency controlled engine and a free programmable microprocessor are standard on the Softwash

models.

XCONTROL PLUS

• Fully programmable microprocessor meets the most

complex requirements

• Graphical display is extremely easy to use and

contains wide range of languages

• Programmes can be changed or updated manually, by

USB stick, or with PC and TraceTech software

• Self-diagnosis system

• Washers can be connected to a network
