Rug Summit IV part 2

Hi Tom,
Congratulations on a successful program. I was rather hoping you would clear up some issues about your centrifuge. The word is that your machine can’t spin dry a full sized heavy rug like a 90 Line Chinese. It was anticipated that you would prove them wrong. Instead I heard from a participant:
“They did not clean a 9 x 12 - 90 line while we were there. All the rugs except for one runner were 4 x 6 or less. The runner was about 20 feet.”
What is the story Tom, can your spinner handle big rugs?
Best wishes,
Barry O’Connell

I've brought this up in the past handling of large rugs into and out of a centrifuge. A rinse wringer like Robert man works and makes loading much more manageable.
Barry I'd love to see a start to finish of video of dusty loading, spinning and removing a soaking wet 9x12 90L Chinese in his centrifuge?

I would too Randy. I think that is a very fair request.

"The word is that your machine can’t spin dry a full sized heavy rug like a 90 Line Chinese."
That is not "the word" from all the Centri-Maxx® centrifuge users across North America.
Barry,
Perhaps you were not aware of our Rug Summit 4 agenda. The interests and request for demonstrations were requested in advance for the Automated Duster and Color Stripping rather than for the process of washing bigger rugs. Nonetheless, if anyone there had your stated concern, as well as Randy's, they could have asked for such a demo. Perhaps the obvious question raised by you was not necessary to be settled by taking time to do washing of a bigger rug. Likely, since a number of users of the centrifuge were there discussing the virtues of their machines and what big rugs they wash all the time.
Tom

Hi Tom,
Thanks for your kind and informative posts. So are you saying that you would be glad to show that your centrifuge can spin a full sized heavy soaking wet rug? And that all we have to do is ask?

I called Dusty and he agreed to Randy’s Challenge. Will you do the same?
Inquiring minds want to know!

I would love to see the video of that on here as we all know how well Dusty loves making videos of his latest accomplishments.
Best of luck.

Great idea Shorty,
That sounds very fair. I do not know how to post videos here but at very least we can post links to the vids so that we can all see them.
Best wishes,

We use a Centri-Maxx to extract water from large rugs regularly and have had no trouble with 100 square foot plus 90-line Chinese, Bidjars, 50's Kermans, overbuilt Indos, and the like. In fact the greater mass of the larger rugs seems to cause the machine to run smoother, possibly the result of some sort of 'flywheel' effect. Handling large wet rugs does require effort, but we are pleased with the results and have found extraction as a final step yields a better result than taking rugs directly from our wringer to the drying room.
