1.2 Construction
1.2.1 Chassis - frame
• Mechanically soldered frame of hot de-scaled steel plating, protected against
oxidation by phosphation, and covered with epoxy paint.
• Protection panels in stainless steel plating with 1.2 mm thickness.
• The design of the lower part of each tub port inhibits the laundry from slipping in-
between the tub and the drum.
1.2.2 Tub and drum
• The tub consists of a rolled stainless steel plate, closed at its extremities by 2
flanges, also stainless steel. The tub flanges are bolted to the tub and a seal
assures waterproofing.
• The drum consists of a perforated and pressed stainless steel plate. The plate is
then rolled and nested in two bead plates, also stainless steel. 4 beaters
mounted peripherally around the interior allow the laundry to be stirred correctly.
This assembly is held together by 4 tension rods that traverse the drum from one
end to the other.
1.2.3 Suspensions
The tub - drum assembly is suspended by four springs that are attached to the frame
and held in place by eight stabilisators, thus absorbing all vibration.
1.2.4 Porthole
The large-size portholes are of stainless steel and equipped with SECURIT panes of
tempered glass. Thus they permit a visual control of the washing operation.
1.2.5 Bearings, transmission and motor
• The connecting rod bearings are waterproof and have a hardened steel base.
• The transmission consists of one belt, providing a driving mechanism without
slippage.
• The asynchronous motor with variable frequency provides a gradual
acceleration, without shocks, which avoids drawing a large current when initiating
centrifugal motion.
