Neutron Suspension

Braun’s Neutron Suspension:

• Unsurpassed vibration dampening allows for installation even on upper floors that can hold the static
• Isolates vibration from the workspace
• Promotes less wear on major end components for exceptional durability and machine longevity
• Provides for consistent wash performance
• Neutron system is very simple vs. an air bag system
• Air bag systems require a variety of valves and synchronization the of air bags. Timing is critical for smooth operation.

Single Motor Drive

Energy efficient drive technology:

• Ramps up to full speed smoothly without stepping, without fixed speeds, to programmable extraction speeds up to 625 rpm.
• Allows the machine to pin goods and then go into higher Extract speeds removing more water quickly before Sending the goods on to the dryer, ironer or tunnel finisher. More thoroughly extracted goods result in shorter dryer times and lower natural gas costs!
• Using fewer and less complicated parts, single motor drive open pockets promise less down time and dollars spent on maintenance…..therefore a reduced cost of ownership.
• A rinse reuse option is available to install Braun open pockets to a split trench system allowing for optimal water conservation.

Chemical Integration

• Chemical integration boxes are standard on all Braun Open Pocket Washer/Extractors.
• This feature provides an input and output module for chemical companies to tie into Braun machines without having to access the control box. This helps to avoid interference with the machine controls and any related machine downtime as a result of any potential interference.

Auto Load Rebalance Technology

Optical sensors on Braun open pockets will instruct the machines to:

• Automatically shut down if they are overloaded
• Automatically balance loads prior to moving into the extraction phase to evenly distribute wet goods against the cylinder, eliminating the need for artificial counterbalances
• Tamper Proof Solution
• Plug and Play
