The wool wringer
Credit : Vincent Botta
This machine is used for spinning, prior to drying. The aim is to remove as much water as possible in order to shorten the drying time of the sheet. The pieces are placed in a perforated drum that rotates on a vertical axis in order to extract the water by centrifugal force. This wringer was not suitable for delicate fabrics, which were too sensitive to creases. A drum wringer was then used.
