Application of Air Springs in Industrial Washing Machines

Application of Air Springs in Industrial Washing Machines

Traditional industrial washing machines often rely on metal springs or rubber shock-absorbing pads, which are often unable to cope with the huge unbalanced force generated in the high-speed dehydration stage, resulting in:

1.Severe vibration and noise: Affecting the working environment and even affecting the building structure, and requiring strict installation sites.

2.Intensified equipment wear: Vibration is transmitted to key components such as bearings and motors, shortening equipment life and increasing maintenance frequency and cost.

3.Fluctuation in washing quality: Excessive vibration may cause linens to become entangled and wear more, affecting the cleanliness and life of linens.

4.Low energy efficiency: Part of the energy is dissipated in ineffective vibration.

With its unique working principle and performance characteristics, air springs have become the ideal answer to solve these pain points:

Excellent adaptive shock absorption performance:

1.Adjustable pressure and stiffness: By adjusting the internal air pressure, air springs can accurately match the shock absorption requirements under different loads (from no load to full load) and different speeds (especially high-speed dehydration), achieve the best vibration isolation effect, and significantly reduce vibration transmission rate and noise level.

Automatic balancing: Effectively absorb and suppress the huge centrifugal force caused by uneven distribution of linens, and keep the equipment running stably.

2.Significantly improve equipment reliability and life:

Effectively isolate harmful vibrations from key mechanical components (such as bearings, spindles, motors, and control systems), significantly reduce wear and failure rates, and extend the core life of the equipment.

Reduce problems such as loose bolts and structural fatigue caused by vibration.

3.Reduce overall operating costs:

Sharply reduce maintenance costs: Reduce downtime and spare parts replacement costs caused by vibration damage.

Improve energy efficiency: Reduce vibration energy loss, equipment operation is smoother, and energy consumption is indirectly optimized.

4.Enhanced linen protection: Smoother operation means gentler linen handling, reduced wear, and extended linen service life.

Enhanced installation flexibility and environmental compliance:

The requirements for installation foundation are significantly reduced, and it can be deployed in more locations (such as upstairs floors).

Significantly reduce operating noise, improve the working environment, and make it easier to meet the increasingly stringent global (especially European and American) occupational health and safety and environmental noise regulations.
