Working Principle of Washing Machine and its types

How does the washing machine work?

• In watching machines, the mechanical energy of an agitator is used to generate centrifugal force for clockwise and counter-clockwise motions for strong mixing of detergent water and garments in a water drum.
• The centrifugal force pushes to throw garments at the rough surface of the drum. The strong interaction of detergent water with garments removes dirt and flows in the water.
• After 10-15 minutes of agitation of the water, dirty water is drained out from the drum

Which washing machine type is more useful?

What’s a semi-automatic washing machine, what’s the difference between semi-automatic and fully automatic washing machines, and why are top-load washing machines better for people with less space in their apartments? Read on to find out!

Semi-automatic washing machines

• This machine uses some automatic options for washing machines
• This means that you will need to do some parts manually, like filling up the water in the tub before starting the machine, or if you have a twin-tub semi-automatic washing machine, you’ll need to move the washed clothes into the drying tub
• These are always going to be top loading

Fully-automatic washing machines

• This machine does everything at the touch of a button
• This washing machine comes with a single tub that acts as a washer, and dryer and also rinses the clothes
• These may come as front and top-load machines, and the programs and efficiency vary between the machines, depending on the brand
• Advantage of Front loading Machine
  • Less water consumption
  • Large capacity of washing
  • Better cleaning
  • More cycle options
  • More energy efficient

• The disadvantage of Front loading Machine
  • More costly machine
  • Longer washing time due to long wash cycles
  • More vibration during operation
  • Water may  trap inside to cause malodor

Front-load washing machines

• A front-load washing machine is a fully-automatic washing machine that loads from the front side
• These machines usually consume less water and energy, and usually yield better laundry results than their top-load counterparts.

Top loading washing machines

• Both manual washing machines and fully-automatic washing machines come in a top-load form
• These kinds of machines are loaded from the top. This is good for people who want a machine in which they don’t need to bend down completely to load the clothes in the machine
• Fully-automatic top load washing machines usually take up less space, so they’re good for people looking to fit a washing machine into a narrower space.
• Advantage of Top  loading Machine
  • Less expensive
  • You can add some laundry mid-cycle
  • Shorter washing time
  • Low vibration
  • Simple control panel
  • Easy to operate
• Disadvantage of Top  loading Machine
  • Lower cleaning performance
  • Uses more water and electricity
  • Smaller capacity
  • Longer drying time
