Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2474659A1] The drum (3) has a cylinder-shaped casing (19) limited by a front wall (20) and comprising a curvature structure, where the structure has curved segments (22). Channels are formed between the segments, and holes (25) for passing washing liquid are arranged in the channels, where the channels are curved relative a plane of the casing. Fins are embossed in curved areas in the segments, extend from a stem point in a middle area of the segments to a segment edge and end in one of the channels. The stem point lies higher on an inner surface of the casing than the channels.
