Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006084548A1] Existing washing installations are comprised of a continuous washing machine (10) and of a subsequent spin drier (18) or water extraction press. In the continuous washing machine (10), a washing as well as a rinsing of the laundry ensues. This requires a relatively large amount of fresh water. In addition, a continuous washing machine (10) of this type requires a lot of space. The aim of the invention is thus to form a washing installation consisting of a continuous washing machine (10) that both rinses the laundry items as well as extracts water therefrom. The rinsing as well as the water extraction can ensue in the subsequent spin drier (18) or water extraction press. It has been demonstrated that the invention improves the rinsing capacity and enables a lower consumption of fresh water. The invention enables relatively small amounts of laundry to be economically washed using a continuous washing machine (10). When the continuous washing machine (10) is provided without a rinsing area, it is able to have a shorter and simpler design.
