Abstract
A method for treating laundry and an inline washing machine that makes provision for water to be removed from the laundry selectively only in a water-removal press or in a water-removal press and a laundry centrifuge. Delicate items of laundry are subjected only to preliminary pressing in the water-removal press while water is then completely removed in the laundry centrifuge. In this way, a water-removal press can always be permanently arranged downstream of the washing machine and all the laundry, including delicate laundry, can pass through the water-removal press.
Claims12
A method for treating laundry, comprising:
- at least washing the laundry in an apparatus comprising a washing machine, a water-removal press, and a laundry centrifuge;
- removing at least some water from the laundry in a subsequent water-removal process selected from the group consisting of (a) the water-removal press (12) and (b) the water-removal press (12) and subsequent laundry centrifuge (13);
- and
- selecting between the two different water removal processes for removing water from the laundry, wherein the water removal process is selected depending upon whether water is being removed from delicate items of laundry or from less delicate items of laundry, whereas in the case of less delicate items of laundry water is removed only by the water-removal press (12) and in the case of delicate items of laundry water is removed in the water-removal press (12) and then in the laundry centrifuge (13).
