Abstract
Wet laundry 10 in a vessel 12 supported on a drainage plate 14 is dewatered by a combination of mechanical pressure applied by a platen 33 and air flow through the platen and laundry. The platen is initially brought down upon the laundry by a cylinder 42 to compress it and squeeze out about half of the water, and drying air is simultaneously forced through the vessel from top to bottom via the platen and plate to remove additional moisture. The platen pressure may be reduced to enhance the air flow.
