extraction technologies:
presses & extractors

Advanced extraction technology, like the industrial laundry presses and hydro extractors forces moisture out of wet fabrics, drastically reducing drying times and energy expenses.

How do industrial presses & extractors work?

Water extraction technology removes water from wet fabrics right they went through the tunnel washer. There are two main methods for water extraction:

Presses (eg. PowerPress)
The press uses heavy hydraulic power to squeeze water out of large laundry batches.
Centrifugal spin extractors (eg. PowerSpin)
Spin extractor spins at high speed to fling the water out.

By removing most of the water, both machines help the laundry dry much faster and save a lot of energy before proceeding to the dryers.

Frequently asked questions about extraction technologies

What is the Kannegiesser PowerPress?

The Kannegiesser PowerPress is a high-performance membrane press designed for continuous batch washing systems. With its short pressing cycle, it efficiently removes water from washed linen before drying, reducing residual moisture, lowering energy consumption, and increasing the overall productivity of the laundry system.

How does the PowerPress protect linen quality?

The Kannegiesser PowerPress uses patented membrane technology to apply uniform pressure across the entire batch. With flexible extraction process programming, this gentle and minimizes mechanical stress, helping to extend linen life while ensuring consistently high extraction performance.

How does the PowerPress reduce dryer energy consumption?

By achieving very low residual moisture before drying, the PowerPress significantly reduces drying time and energy consumption. Its efficient extraction process also increases dryer throughput, improving the overall efficiency of the laundry system.

How long do the membranes last?

Kannegiesser PowerPress membranes are engineered for a long service life. Manufactured from high-quality materials and designed for heavy-duty operation, while requiring minimal maintenance. With smart design, when a replacement is due, only 30 min are needed thanks to optimal handling and a clamping ring.

What residual moisture can the PowerPress achieve?

The Kannegiesser PowerPress achieves one of the lowest residual moisture levels available on the market. Its advanced membrane and design technology ensures highly efficient water extraction, reducing drying time, lowering energy consumption, and maximizing overall laundry productivity.
