The Firbimatic 1360 and 1380 industrial machines, with capacities of 60 and 80 kg respectively, are designed to meet the needs of three main application areas: the textile sector, leather washing and tanneries, in industrial environments and special processes. Thanks to a robust design and state-of-the-art technological solutions, these models represent a benchmark standard for operators who need to handle large loads with continuity and precision.

In the Perchloroethylene version, the closed circuit with built-in refrigeration unit, the option for integration with activated carbon systems, and the high drum volume/load capacity ratio ensure uniform washing, fast drying, and reduced resource consumption. For this reason, the 1360 and 1380 models are adopted not only in traditional industrial laundries but also in contexts requiring special processes and maximum operational reliability.

In the Multisolvent version, the closed circuit with built-in refrigeration unit and the high drum volume/load capacity ratio ensure uniform washing, fast drying, and reduced resource consumption. For this reason, the 1360HC and 1380HC models are used not only in traditional industrial laundries but also in the tanning and leather-washing sector, which requires specific standards (such as GOTS) and processes of maximum operational reliability.

Features of the 1360 and 1380 models

The Firbimatic models of the 1360–1380 series are available in a closed-circuit version with a built-in refrigeration unit, a solution that ensures energy efficiency and safe solvent management.

On request, machines operating with Perchloroethylene solvent can be equipped with various additional options, such as the COALPERC supplementary device, based on activated carbon, which can further reduce the residual solvent concentration in the drum at the end of the cycle.

Another distinctive element is the high drum volume/load capacity ratio, which makes it possible to achieve:

• strong mechanical action during the washing phase,

• uniform and rapid drying even in high-productivity cycles.

Modular construction and operational flexibility

Every industrial sector has specific needs. For this reason, Firbimatic adopts a modular construction system that allows the configuration of tailor-made plants.

The modular structure can include:

• one or more washing and drying units,

• distillation units,

• filtration systems sized according to production requirements.

This solution ensures not only the possibility of having a customized machine but also of expanding production capacity in the future by adding additional modules. This translates into gradual investments, greater productivity, and lower unit costs, with more efficient use of labor.

Plant layouts and possible configurations

The Firbimatic 1360 and 1380 machines make it possible to create highly flexible plant layouts, starting from:

• a basic system with one washing unit and one distillation unit (with or without filter),

• up to complex plants with two, three, four or more washing units connected to a single distillation unit.

This versatility allows industrial laundries and specialized operators to combine high production capacity, cost reduction, and consistent washing quality.

Fields of application: textile, industrial, and special processes

The potential of the 1360 and 1380 models can be applied in different areas:

• Textile sector: ideal for companies processing large volumes of fabrics, garments, or items for fashion and home furnishings, where accurate and uniform washing cycles are required.

• Industrial field: used in laundries handling workwear, PPE, and technical materials that require reliable and repeatable processes.

• Special applications: thanks to modularity and the possibility of tailor-made configurations, these machines are also used in the tanning and leather-washing sectors that require dedicated or customized treatments.
