組合せ流れトンネル

Japanese Patent JP7053495

B2

A method of washing fabric articles in a continuous batch tunnel washer, comprises providing a continuous batch tunnel washer having an interior, an intake, a discharge, and a plurality of modules that segment the interior. Fabric articles are moved from the intake to the discharge and through the modules in sequence. One or more modules define a wash zone for washing the fabric articles. One or more of the modules are rinse modules that have a perforated scoop. Some of the modules do not have a perforated scoop. After washing fabric articles, the fabric articles can be rinsed by counter flowing liquid in the washer interior at spaced apart modules and along a flow path that is generally opposite the direction of travel of the fabric articles from the intake to the discharge. Velocity rinsing can also replace a continuous counter flow. To improve rinsing and washing, one or more modules may be dilution zone modules, which receives a flow stream from the rinsing modules via a booster pump. A dilution zone module or drum preferably has a perforated scoop to drain the free water when transferring to the next dilution zone module or drum. Drums or modules without shells (carryover modules) have scoops for fabric article (e.g., linen) transfer with no perforations. Thus, the linen and all water go to the next downstream drum at the carryover modules.
