Cissell's patented oval perforations for its axial airflow drying tumbler cylinders are a major step toward preventing equipment damage.

For years, owners of vended laundries have had to replace cylinder enclosures due to damage from screws. Drywall-size fasteners left in clothes often slip out of pockets during drying and get caught in the drying tumbler's cylinder standard round perforations. While the cylinder continues to rotate, the screws tear the enclosure.

Cissell drying tumbler's oval perforations, however, pass the screws, allowing them to fall into the lint area without any damage to the cylinder or its enclosure.

"This unique innovation is the cure for an ill that's frustrated vended laundry owners for years," said Dave Phillips, Cissell national sales manager. "And because this design is patented, you'll only find it on products produced by Alliance Laundry Systems."

The new perforations are standard on Cissell axial airflow drying tumblers, including its 30- and 45-pound stack tumblers and the new slimmed-down 55-pound dryer.
