Features of the device for semi-automatic washers

The main difference between semi-automatic models is that they are activator. It is the wash that is carried out by a disk with blades built into the bottom or wall of the tank. Rotating at a certain speed, it creates the movement of water flows.

Important! Studies conducted in laboratories have shown that the effectiveness of activator washing is much higher than drum washing. For example, after 25 washes in the drum-type model, the wear of cotton items was 25%, and in the activator one, only 18%.

In all machines of the activator type, only vertical loading of laundry is assumed. Therefore, the principle of your actions during washing will be different. The disk rotates around its axis and, at the same time, will rotate everything that is in the tank.
