Features of operation of activator washing machines

With the application of new technologies and innovative systems, it would seem that Soviet washing machines are long gone, but this is not entirely true. And now such units are in demand in the market, and have their users. Although the activator-type washing machine today has a more modern design, the functionality of the device is almost the same. What allows this unit to remain in demand for many years?

Characteristics and feature of the activator device

Everyone is accustomed to the fact that the new technology is "packed" with electronics. Modern washing machines have many programs and additional functions. The activator machine is very easy to operate, it has an uncomplicated mechanism and a conservative design.Machines can include only two modes: washing and spinning. Units with dual mode have one body, but different sections.

Any activator type machine consists of three elements:

• tank (metal or plastic);
• activator;
• timer.

Machines with a plastic tank has a lighter construction and easy to transport. Metal tank is more reliable and durable. Activator - It is a circle with plastic protuberances, which creates a rotation of water. The activator leads into the water and loaded laundry in a certain movement. The washing cycle is built on this principle.

Heating element not available in all models, so in cases where it is absent, the water temperature must be controlled independently.

The simplicity of the machine is displayed in her service. The main faults can be a timer and an electric motor. In the case of operation of the washing machine with a plastic tank, with an accidental strong blow, it may burst. But it happens more often during transportation. If the electric motor burns out - it can simply be replaced. Careful attitude to technology will allow to serve reliably and for a long time.

Advantages and disadvantages of the unit

A distinctive feature of the machine is the ability to set individual parameters washing. It is unpretentious and easily adjusts to any user needs and operating conditions.

1. Depending on the amount of linen, you can adjust the amount of water yourself, if necessary, add.
2. Detergents to use any, designed for both hand washing and for cars - automatic.
3. It is possible to add laundry in the process of washing or vice versa, to remove.
4. Adjust the water temperature by adding hot or cold.
5. An important advantage of the activator type of machine is its cheapness relative to the machine - automatic.
6. She does not require special care. Lack of electronics frees from service.
7. The machine can work without the presence of drainage systems and water supply, does not provide for connection to the central drain pipe.
8. If one wash was not enough to completely separate the contaminants, then the cycle can be repeated several times.

The negative sides of the aggregates of this type are the following:

• water consumption is more than in a typewriter - automatic, as a manual rinsing is performed;
• the complexity of the washing process;
• impossible to regulate the rate of rotations, the lack delicate wash;
• the risk of damage to things - sometimes the fabric is wound on the activator and a gap may occur;
• centrifuge machines exclude the possibility of adjusting the number of revolutions.

Water saving with impeller

Types of activator machines

Despite its primitiveness, activator washing machines have their own lineup. There are advanced units with additional features. There are cars that provide only a wash cycle, but there are built-in centrifuge, allowing spinning.

Units can have different dimensions and vary the volume of the tank.

The washing process involves the following steps:

• water filling at the desired temperature;
• loading things into the tank with an activator;
• after completion of the wash cycle, manual rinsing is carried out in a separate tank;
• twisting linen in a centrifuge.

Even when performing the functions of washing and spinning, the activator machine cannot operate independently. All cycles must be controlled, and each accompanied by manual labor. But at the same time, there are models that provide presence of heating elements. Manual function of heating water in this case falls. There are mini - cars with a load of a small amount of things up to 2 kg. They are convenient for fast washes or for service of one person. It does not take up much space and can be stored in the utility room.

Scope of application

Washing machines with an activator type of work are in demand among socially disadvantaged families, as well as those with low incomes.. In rural areas or in private homes without amenities such a unit would be a godsend. To use it there is no need to connect to the central water supply and have a drain system. Some acquire an activator assembly for use. in the country. In this case, the main thing is that there is electricity and any source of water (well, well or other options).
