The Drum is made of stainless steel, the stainless steel sheet
is shaped by rolling it, it is then clamped into place as the
machine welds the sheet together to create the barrel shape.

Stainless steel is used as it is resistant to corrosion, it is
easily formed into shapes and good mechanical properties
over a wide range of temperatures. MATERIAL:
The Panels on the sides of the machine are formed by
pressing the sheets of zinc coated steel into moulds where
then then take shape.
Zinc coated steel is used on the outer shell of the machine as
the zinc provides protection of the steel against corrosion GLASS STEEL ABS
The Basket of the machine will be manufactured by injection
moulding. this process will involve the male and female part FINISH:
coming together to form the shape and the polypropylene
material will be injected into the chamber to form the final
basket shape.
Polypropylene will be used as it has good chemical
resistance and heat resistance. it also works great in wet
environments as it does not take in water as much as
other polymers do.
