Il Design

Informazioni su Hydrowash Lavatrice

Hydrowash è una lavatrice semiautomatica portatile a doppia vasca. Una vasca lava e l'altra centrifuga, e i capi vengono spostati manualmente da una vasca all'altra. Le manopole collocate sotto il coperchio principale regolano il tempo di lavaggio, l'intensità del lavaggio, il livello dell'acqua e il tempo di asciugatura, mantenendo così l'esterno pulito e l'interno di facile comprensione. L'area di lavaggio interna trattiene fuoriuscite e schizzi. Una maniglia estraibile e ruote pronunciate consentono a una sola persona di spostare l'apparecchio. Il corpo è realizzato in plastica stampata a iniezione e presenta un profilo sobrio, simile a quello di una barca, adatto alle abitazioni di dimensioni ridotte.

Flusso Operativo: This semi automatic machine has 2 tubs, for washing & drying. Water is delivered to the tubs through a water selector inbuilt in the supply pipe interface. Operation of the wash & spin dry is controlled by the knobs. First two knobs control the time & intensity of the wash process, the other knobs control water level & dryer time. Clothes need to be manually transferred between the tubs. This machine mechanizes the clothes wash process in stages but keeps the entire process open to active customization & adjustment. This machine has an ergonomic pull handle & pronounced wheels that enables easily movement between storage & usage space making it an efficient addition to the lifestyle in low income compact housing.
