One for the Italian Guys:
Does anyone know the wash action in the Radiomarelli twin tubs if the late 50’s / 60’s?

Keith

But does this answer your question?
Seems to be some sort of impeller wash action, no central beater.

Thanks Launderess...i saw that clip on Youtube but when i saw the wash tub iwas intrigued, some sort of dome thing in the base of the wash tub.
I wonder if it bonces up n down ?

Looks Like "chestermikeuk" Asked First
And received this reply:
"+chestermikeuk In fact the washing is done by creating a water currents from the bottom of the tub, then the water pass through the many little holes in the side walls of the tub an ricirculated again. It's possible to select the washing power by changing the water pressure so that you can have either a very powerfull wash action or a very gentle one."
My guess is water in tub is moved via that dome via "impeller action", but flows through sides of tub and is directed to return through holes at bottom for recirculation.
Bobbing up and down would in of itself (like a GM Frigidaire washer" create a similar wash action (pushing up from bottom to sides then down and round again), so wouldn't need the holes on side of tub.

Am an idiot aren't I?
Should have seen pic in OP was a screen shot of YT video.
Did you read the comments? ChesterMikeUK asked a similar question and CandyBimatic gave a response.

Hi Launderess,
I think i get how it works, but would be good to get it confirm
Cheers
Keith

Am thinking you are onto something
In that the dome thingy bobs up and down. An impeller in such a shape wouldn't move much water I shouldn't think.

Interesting TT. I wonder what all the holes in the side walls of the wash tub are for. Would be great to see it in action. The drain hose is rediculously short. Would be difficult to get that hooked over a sink. Interesting thread. Thanks for posting Keith. Simon
Hi Simon, the tub is interesting with all those holes..i think the water sloshes through the holes and back over the clothes...the wash action could be that of a Frigidaire.
The hose is probably the same as the Candy Bi-matic i have just accquired from Italy, it is concealed inside the machine pulls out when required.
I hope to find out more soon
Cheers

Radiomarelli twin tubs
My take is that is washes with vario force of water pressure, rather like the Parkinson Cowan wringer washer Keith, it uses a powerful pump to recirculate the water and in this case causes the clothes to roll throughout the tube on and over the central dome base. Water must be sucked from the sides and then pumped through the base jets to roll the clothes …
Be fab to see this one in action, he has some ingenious washers from the Perobot to this one, the spinner looks very similar to the Duomatic !!

Hi Mike, good point and that would answer the amount of holes around the tub..it would be great to see this machine in action, my initial thoughts on the spinner were that of the AEG Lavalux without a lid.
The Perobot were interesting machines...i purchased a few years ago one of the china sprial agitators (if thats the right description) from a Perobot machine.

Interesting Keith,
great to see something new to me, plus a different washing action, thanks for sharing Keith,
