Dry-Cleaning Clothes
The centrifugal separator has steadily made its way into a number of different industries. One of the latest of its yes is that of clarifying the non-inflammable solvents now so largely used in the dry-cleaning of clothes, grease removal, &c. A good example, of the centrifugal clarifler for such solvents is the ma chine made by Messrs. Hopkinsons, Limited, Huddersfield, and driven by an electric motor housed in the base.
The dry-cleaning machines used ber. In the first case to empty the

The soiled garments. &c., are placed in a perforated drum roist ing in a bath of the solvent. After being subjected to this process for some time, the solvent is with drawn and the drum is rotated at a higher speed so, that an extract- ing effect is exerted on the sol- vent remaining in the garments, this solvent being also in due course withdrawn. The drum rota tes in a closed casing. The anat stage of the cleaning process is that of passing hot air over the contents of the drum in order to dry them, the last remnant of the solvent being thus vaporised. The air is afterwards passed to a con- denser for recovery of the solvent.
