Panels

The machines are equipped with a top panel made of stainless steel. The
front panel is available in different colours or in stainless steel. The col-
oured panels are made of phosphatized steel plate with electrostatically
applied baked enamel paint finish for rust and chip resistance. For servicing
purposes, the panels can easily be removed.

Back gable and bearing

Fig.
The back gable and the bearing trunnion housing are constructed of a
63
webbed heavy casting for extra rigidity. The bearings are protected against
imfiltration of water by three neoprene seals. An intermediate safety outlet
provides an escape for any possible condensation.
The seals are mounted on a chrome-plated, noncorrosive, specially hard-
ened sleeve bushing that is mounted on the drive shaft to prevent wear of
the seals and shaft. The main bearing is fitted machinetight into the bearing
trunnion housing. A nut is tightened on the shaft to prevent the cylinder
from moving in and out.
The extension of the bearing trunnion housing supports the rear bearing
holding the shaft. A grease seal is mounted to prevent escape of grease.
The bearings are permanently lubricated and need no maintenance.
Wascomat's design transfers the weight of the loaded wash cylinder to the
largest possible surface area away from the bearings, for longest machine
life.
