Industrial Washing Machine for Hygiene Applications DIVIMAT

The maintenance-free Power Transmission System (PTS 3) we developed consumes only as much energy as is currently needed for the task at hand; for example, power consumption decreases during the spin cycle, as your laundry gets drier, or when the DIVIMAT partitioned washing machine is not fully loaded. The PTS 3, equipped with a cutting-edge high-efficiency motor, reduces power spikes, detects and controls imbalances, ensures quiet operation, provides continuously adjustable wash and spin speeds, enables a gentle start-up of the drum, and ensures its wear-free, rapid deceleration without mechanical brake components. PTS 3 means flexible, economical, safe, and innovative washing for you.

Our intelligent water regulation system (WRS) constantly monitors the water level and automatically adjusts to the conditions. For example, the DIVIMAT detects underloading and uses less water. As a result, STAHL’s DIVIMAT partition-type washer-extractors always have the lowest possible water consumption, making them the most cost-effective washers for your commercial needs.

The robust construction of the DIVIMAT hygienic washing machine is a striking testament to the quality of our STAHL laundry machines. We developed it ourselves, and it perfectly embodies our philosophy of top quality and long service life. It stands out in particular for its size and its multiple safeguards against exposure to laundry lye.

The large doors swing open 180 degrees to the side, providing access to the wash drum without water dripping from above. The doors, which feature a large viewing window, can be hinged on the right or left side on either the clean or dirty side, depending on your preference. The washing drum doors are also generously sized, ensuring quick and convenient loading and unloading for you. The drum latch is sturdy and secure, yet can still be opened and closed with one hand. When loading and unloading, the washing drum door serves as a supportive sliding aid. Immediately after the wash cycle ends, the drum stops at the door opening and locks automatically in place, allowing you to work quickly and safely.

Sturdy drum with large, yet gentle-on-fibers, funnel-shaped perforations:
The STAHL drum is suitable for washing all types of textiles—including heavily soiled mop covers or dirt-trapping mats—in a single machine, without leaving coarse dirt in the drum after the wash cycle. In addition, thanks to the perforated drum, a lower spin speed is required to achieve a residual moisture content of approximately 48%.

The STAHL stainless steel washing drum features perforations that run from the inside to the outside with funnel-shaped, gentle radii. This ensures that your laundry is handled very gently, while increasing the desired friction within the laundry and reducing it on the metal. The number and size of the holes are optimized for maximum efficiency. They ensure rapid drainage of the wash water, which is particularly important during the spin cycle to quickly achieve the target residual moisture level of approximately 48 % while minimizing energy consumption. During the spin cycle, the laundry is pressed against the drum perforations. If the drum perforations are too small, more power is required due to a higher spin speed and longer spin time. This leads to higher energy consumption as well as increased wear on the bearings and the spring/shock absorber system.
In addition, thanks to STAHL’s drum perforation, you benefit from the fact that no coarse dirt from mop covers, dirt-trapping mats, and kitchen linens remains in the drum after the wash cycle. Depending on the size of the washing machine, the DIVIMAT features four to six scoop ribs, which are also perforated. This scoop rib technology ensures greater movement and faster water flow through your laundry, thereby saving you time and energy. Another advantage of our drum is the curvature on the back. Compared to conventional systems, this reduces the area that does not come into contact with the laundry. This minimizes the amount of unused water, resulting in further water and energy savings.

The large-sized stainless steel drain valve—which has no ball, rubber diaphragm, or strainer—ensures reliable operation even when the laundry contains coarse debris and is easily accessible from the front through a large service door.

The stainless steel drain valve, which we developed and manufacture in-house, is generously sized and features a stepped design that prevents the buildup of dirt and the jamming of foreign objects. This ensures a reliable and cost-effective operation without time-consuming maintenance. The stainless steel drain valve in our partition-wall washers is water- or air-operated and thus remains closed even during a power outage—a situation that would otherwise result in water loss and the need to restart the wash cycle. This ensures operational reliability with STAHL’s commercial washers. Another advantage for you is that the valve is wear-free, as the STAHL stainless steel drain valve contains no rubber diaphragm, ball, or strainer. As a result, you benefit from minimized maintenance requirements.

Stainless steel detergent compartments prevent detergent powder from clumping and remain hygienically clean at all times.

Sturdy stainless steel side panels, exclusively commercial-grade industrial components, and no compromises on material thickness make the STAHL Professional Washing Machine a high-quality and durable investment

The DIVIMAT features our flexible FREEpro touch control system. This allows you to use the DIVIMAT in a variety of ways. In addition to 99 freely programmable wash cycles, you can also adjust various parameters even while the wash cycle is in progress. These parameters include, among others, temperature, soak time, water level, spin speed, rinse time, spin duration, and spin speed.

The control system is equipped with standard washing programs that include cycles with different temperatures, rinsing methods, and spin speeds, as well as single-, double-, and triple-bath processes.
In addition, there are wash cycle packages for various industries and applications, such as: hotels, building cleaning, nursing homes, fire departments, wet cleaning cycles for dry cleaning, equestrian sports, and much more.

With the FREEpro control system, you can also save and retrieve thermal and chemothermal disinfection programs in accordance with the guidelines of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI).

If necessary, you can also treat mop covers and cloths with cleaning agents or surface disinfectants directly in the machine. This ensures that the textiles are ready for use again immediately after washing.

The benefits of the control system at a glance:

• large display
• dialog-driven programming
• infinitely adjustable parameters
• No memory card or backup batteries required
• Timers with weekday and weekend functions
• permanent process monitoring
• Visualization of Program Flow
• Troubleshooting System
• Access to extensive statistical information
• Additional online features

The special thermal insulation surrounds the outer tank and, like a jacket, ensures that heat does not escape unused. The heat remains inside the drum. For you, this means significant energy savings. In addition, this thermal effect reduces heating times, and you save about 20 % in heating energy.

During the wash cycle, laundry in a STAHL washing machine is affected not only by mechanical action but also by fluctuating water pressure, which increases the efficiency of the DIVIMAT. You save energy, water, time, and detergent. This is achieved through a groundbreaking design found exclusively in STAHL washing machines. The round drum does not rotate inside a round outer drum as is customary; instead, our outer drum is geometrically optimized. Water pressure increases at the narrowing point, and thanks to the perforations in the drum and the scoop ribs, water floods up quickly and forcefully onto and through the laundry.

In the overflow rinse cycle, the detergent and the dirt it has bound are carried away through the lower-level overflow by the drum’s rotational motion. This eliminates the need for a full rinse cycle, resulting in shorter wash times and reduced water and energy consumption. Furthermore, unlike in the conventional rinse cycle, the laundry is not exposed to a flow of detergent and the dirt it has trapped through the bottom drain. This increases the level of cleanliness and reduces wear and tear on your laundry.
