TUNNEL WASHER SYSTEM WITH IMPROVED CLEANING EFFICIENCY

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tunnel washer that includes fluid exhaust paths that facilitate uniform vapor evacuation from each chamber of the washer and are optimized to minimize heat loss from each chamber of the washer.

SOLUTION: The tunnel washer also includes spaced-apart double wall curtains for isolating chambers of the tunnel washer to prevent fluid and heat transfer therebetween, and to the exterior of the tunnel washer. The double wall curtains include surfaces that inhibit the curtains from sticking together during operation of the tunnel washer. The tunnel washer also includes an air manifold that provides uniform drying efficiency for articles of varying dimensions.
