RL1600 Industrial Rug Wringing Centrifuge

Heavy-Duty Rug Wringing Centrifuge for Large Carpet Cleaning Plants
The Cleanvac RL1600 Rug Wringing Centrifuge is engineered for professional carpet cleaning facilities that process extra-large rugs and carpets every day. Designed with a 485 mm stainless steel drum and an inner drum length of 4.2 metres, it provides exceptional water extraction performance for oversized carpets while protecting delicate fibres.
Using high-speed centrifugal technology, the RL1600 removes up to 95% of the remaining water in only 2–3 minutes, dramatically reducing drying time and increasing daily production capacity. It is the ideal solution for industrial rug washing plants handling large-format carpets.
