20080251355METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TRANSFERRING A TRANSPORTING HANGER FOR GARMENTS TO A FOLLOWING CONVEYOR - A star-shaped intermediate conveyor (10-16-2008
20080289119METHOD FOR THE WET TREATMENT OF ITEMS OF LAUNDRY - The invention makes provision for the final wash liquid from the washing device to be separated from the items of laundry in a water-removal device, specifically together with a large portion of the final wash liquid bound in the items of laundry. The items of laundry are then rinsed in the water-removal device. Following this, the rinse liquid is routed away from the items of laundry. The final wash liquid and the rinse liquid are temporarily stored in separate storage tanks and returned to the subsequent wash process in a deliberate manner. A mixture of at least a portion of the final wash liquid and the rinse liquid is fed particularly to the prewash zone in order to prewash the next batch of items of laundry.11-27-2008
20080295257METHOD FOR THE WET TREATMENT OF ITEMS OF LAUNDRY - According to the invention, provision is made for at least one treatment additive in the treatment liquid to be reused to be measured during operation of the pass-through washing machine and possibly the spin dryer which is arranged downstream of said pass-through washing machine. As a result, it is possible to establish whether the treatment liquid still contains a sufficient quantity of treatment additives before said treatment liquid is reused. On account of the established concentration of the respective treatment additive, the treatment additive can be deliberately added in a metered manner, so that the treatment liquid to be reused contains a sufficient concentration of the respective treatment additive.12-04-2008
20090092464METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FEEDING ITEMS OF LAUNDRY TO A LAUNDRY TREATMENT DEVICE, IN PARTICULAR A MANGLE - Items of laundry have to be stretched out by a spreading device (04-09-2009
20090100607METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE WET TREATMENT OF LAUNDRY ARTICLES - In the washing and drainage of laundry articles, treatment liquid which contains still unspent wash-active substances occurs at the end of the washing operation. These substances have hitherto been conducted, if appropriate after neutralization, into the discharge together with the treatment liquid. This known procedure has an adverse effect on the efficiency of the washing operation. According to the invention, spent wash-active substances are removed from the treatment liquid separated from the laundry articles after the washing operation. This takes place by means of precision filtration, in which only the spent wash-active substances which are larger due to the absorption of dirt from the washing operation are filtered out of the treatment liquid, but not the unspent wash-active substances having a smaller particle size. These can be reused, together with the treatment liquid, for a subsequent washing operation.04-23-2009
20090106914METHOD FOR THE WET TREATMENT OF LAUNDRY - In tunnel-type washing machines (04-30-2009
20090260950Apparatus for feeding items of laundry to a laundry-treatment arrangement, in particular a mangle - In order to do away with the need for large items of laundry which are spread out by a spreading arrangement (10-22-2009
20090266749METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SORTING, SINGLING OUT AND/OR TRANSFERRING ITEMS OF LINEN - The washing of items of linen is preceded by a plurality of treatments. The items of linen have to be singled out and sorted. In addition, processes for transferring the items of linen are required. In the past, items of linen have been singled out, sorted and transferred in an only partly automated manner. Manual activities are therefore still required. The invention provides for the items of linen to be singled out automatically, the singled-out items of linen to be transferred automatically from a conveyor to a transportation device, various sorting criteria to be determined automatically, in particular the color and the structure of the items of linen, and finally the items of linen to be sorted automatically in accordance with the detected sorting criteria in that they are blown downward at the intended point of a distributor conveyor. The measures according to the invention render manual activities superfluous.10-29-2009
20100107438METHOD OF, AND APPARATUS FOR, TREATING THE WASTE AIR FROM HEATED LAUNDRY MACHINES - Humid waste air is produced in heated laundry machines. This humid waste air has a still relatively high temperature. In order for the energy contained in the humid waste air to be recovered, at least in part, the humid waste air is directed through a heat exchanger (05-06-2010
20100212866METHOD FOR THE RECOVERY OF WASTE HEAT FROM HEATED LAUNDERETTE MACHINES - A method for the effective recovery of as large a portion as possible of the energy in the waste heat of a trough mangle (08-26-2010
20110088995Method and apparatus for dividing and/or separating a laundry batch, in particular a laundry cake or the like - A method and apparatus in which laundry cakes (04-21-2011
20110142576METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FEEDING A LAUNDRY ARTICLE TO A MANGLE OR THE LIKE - Laundry articles (06-16-2011
