Milnor 68036 F5N User Manual

75.6 cu. ft. cylinder handles
popular batch sizes.

High extraction saves
finishing time.

Milnor’s 68036 F5N washer-extractor features open pocket
cylinder, two-way tilt, simple design, and a trim footprint.

Open pocket cylinder enhances
quality, saves time.

Large, open pocket wash cylinder provides an
unobstructed drop for outstanding washing
action. It’s ideal for bulky goods such as mats and heavily
soiled items such as uniforms, mops, and shop towels.
Turnaround is faster because there’s only one door to open
for unloading/loading – and no need for cylinder-inching.

Milnor’s 68036 F5N washer-extractor
is ideally sized for large laundries. Its

75.6 cu. ft. (2141 L) open pocket cylinder
processes the 400–500 lb. (182–227 kg) load
sizes that mesh well with operations in many
plants. This allows upgrade capability without
changing existing batch sizes.

5.29 lbs./cu. ft. @ 400 lbs.

5.95 lbs./cu. ft. @ 450 lbs.

6.61 lbs./cu. ft. @ 500 lbs.

Trim footprint conserves space.

New design results in a machine that’s only 94” (2387 mm)
wide, requiring less than 63.26 sq. ft. (5.87 sq. m)
of space. Only 24” (609 mm) is needed between
machines. Efficient use of space aids plant layout
whether you’re replacing existing machines or building
from scratch.

Final extraction is 300 Gs (558 RPM). Motor is sized for
long-lasting performance.

Streamlined design,
rugged components, easy
maintenance access.

The structure is just as robust as you’d expect. But
simpler design results in fewer parts, so there is less
to maintain. Frame, shell front and back, as well
as other components are rugged enough to withstand
multiple shifts for many years. Open-access simplifies
maintenance. Electrical control boxes, too, are uncluttered.

Excellent ergonomics with
gravity-assist.

Two-way tilt makes loading and unloading faster and
easier. This boosts productivity while minimizing
fatigue and risk of back injuries. Door height is within
easy reach for sling- or manual-loading. It’s also ideal
for unloading onto a shuttle conveyor or even into carts.
Large 48” (1219 mm) opening with hydraulic door allows
work to pass through with ease.

Tilt angles via air-bag system are up to 22˚ for
loading, and up to 22˚ for unloading.

High productivity
in minimal space.

Streamlined design results in more
uptime, higher production.

How to get long bearing life – even under severe conditions.

1. Keep bearings dry with an
air-barrier plus seals.

An air jet combines with an excluder seal and two
additional water seals to keep contaminants away
from bearings. Air is injected between the excluder
seal and front water seal forcing water back inside
the shell. The air jet functions continuously during
machine operation.

2. Make servicing easy, so it
will get done.

Both seals and seal sleeves can be replaced
through the cylinder – without bearing removal
– allowing the machine to return to service
quickly. Removable hub can be swung away from
the shaft, providing easy access. Unique design
makes it more likely service will be performed
when needed.

3. Make sure the machine is
prepared for almost anything!

What if adverse conditions – metal shavings,
etc. – should happen to wear seals before they
can be replaced? Milnor’s advanced design still
protects bearings. Water passing through the
worn seal is channeled away from the bearings
in all directions, into a cavity. It then exits freely
through three large ports at the rear.

Smooth operation helps prevent costly delays.

Milnor’s dynamically tuned suspension puts the center of mass where
an imbalance would occur. The result is outstanding vibration-dampening for
less wear and tear. Dynamic forces are evenly applied for minimum vibration,
which also means greater output because it prevents stopping-and-recycling.
Innovative “smooth coil” rubber springs reduce vibration.

Rubber spring suspension.

Microprocessor control is
flexible and functional.

Milnor designs and builds its own microprocessor.
This is not an off-the-shelf control designed for
general use by non-laundry people. You get the
functionality you need.

And 100 formulas (98 programmable) give the
flexibility you want for today and tomorrow.
The control can even print production
reports (standard) to help you maintain high
productivity. It’s easy to operate and to program,
and it provides self-diagnostics.

Supply injection choices include automatic liquid
connections or five-compartment flushing injector.
Additional chemical injection signals (for up to 15
total) are also available.

Milnor is a stable, reliable company with extensive design and
manufacturing capabilities.

You’re buying the company
behind the machine, too.

One of the most important components in a Milnor washer-extractor is the company
behind the product. In an era of “where are they now?” manufacturers, Milnor
stands apart for stability. That’s important when you buy a machine you plan to
keep as long as you keep a Milnor washer-extractor. Three generations of consistent
ownership says as much for our future as for our past. And it says a lot about
your ability to get what you need when you need it. Milnor is stable, accountable
– and highly capable. We design and build our machines from the ground up
at our 400,000 sq. ft. (37,160 sq. m) factory in suburban New Orleans. Product
development is so important that almost 50% of our office staffers are engineers or
engineering-support personnel. Computer integration facilitates advanced product
design and precise manufacturing of components and finished machines.

When you buy a new, open pocket washer-extractor, remember that you’re buying
the company behind it, too.
