Design

The design itself is very simple, and is made from the following main elements:

• Tank.
  The material for its manufacture can be both metal and plastic.
• electric motor.
• Activator.
  This element is a circle of plastic with convex parts and is responsible for the torsion of water in the tank.
• Mechanical timer.

The principle of operation of the activator washing machine

The washing process itself goes as follows:

1. First in tank filled with water and fills up powder;
2. Then we put dirty laundry in it;
3. If your activator-type washing machine has a centrifuge, then set a timer that sets the washing and spinning times.
4. The shaft (activator) scrolls the linen in the right direction.
5. After stopping, the laundry is pulled out and rinsed in another container.
6. After you have rinsed the laundry, put it in centrifuge (if any). If it is not there, then the spin of the laundry is done manually.

Conventional designs

Conventional devices contain such details as: a tank, a shaft (activator) and a manual wringer, presented in the form of two rollers connected to each other, which scroll wet things between themselves.

Semi-automatic machines

In such devices there are two tanks, in one of which the washing process takes place, and in the second, things are wrung out. As soon as the washing process (washing and rinsing) is over, the clothes must be manually dragged into the centrifuge (second tank) for spinning. Spinning is done automatically.
