There are two popular types of washing machines on the market, namely direct drive washing machines and indirect drive washing machines. However, how are these two different types and which one should be selected to suit the needs? WebTech360 will help consumers to satisfactorily answer the above question.
What's the difference between direct drive and indirect drive washing machines?
This is a line of equipment from the previous generation, the rotation of the washing bucket will be done through the connection between the belt of the motor and the drum. When the washer motor runs, the force of rotation from the motor is transferred through the belt to a pulley mounted below or at the back of the drum, helping to rotate the drum.
Advantages of indirect drive washing machines:
- Washing machines using indirect drive systems are cheaper than direct drive machines in the same working capacity range.
_The replacement and repair parts are relatively cheap, easy to find and buy.
Limitations of indirect drive washing machines:
_After a long period of use, the belt can be reduced, slipped or even broken.
The flywheel can be stretched after long-term use, reducing transmission efficiency.
_Machine operates less smoothly, emits a lot of noise.
_Hao consumes more electrical energy than a direct drive washing machine.

Direct drive washing machine is next generation, so it brings with you a new design in design as well as structure. In this product line, the drive mechanism via the belt is completely removed, instead of the motor attached directly to the drum. When the spin motor is started, the washing bucket rotates.
Direct drive washing machines integrate more modern technologies at a relatively low cost
Advantages of direct drive washing machines:
_The durability of the device, long component life: The direct drive washing machine product line eliminates unnecessary components so the risk of damage is also minimized. Thanks to this reason, you can save maximum costs incurred for repairing equipment, replacing old, damaged components.
- Noise restriction: The direct drive of the washing machine eliminates the presence of components, so the noise generated is also significantly reduced. Besides, the washing machine uses direct drive system to minimize the possibility of vibration during operation.
_Energy saving: Due to direct drive, the energy generated is not wasted as when transmitted through the belt, thereby helping the device save power consumption.
_Higher spin speed: The washing machine uses a direct drive system for higher rotation speeds due to the uniformity of the system, thereby helping to minimize the drying time of consumer's clothes.
_Some direct drive washing machines are also equipped with modern Inverter technology that adjusts the frequency of the voltage applied to the motor, allowing to reduce the spin speed down while maintaining the torque of the drum. Thanks to this technology, clothes are still squeezed dry efficiently while saving energy.
Limitations of direct drive washing machines:
_The price is relatively high compared to the indirect motion series washing machine.
_High maintenance and repair costs: Direct drive washing machines use few components, but they are high-quality components, so replacing and repairing will cost more.
_Easy to degrade clothes: This product line has very high rotation movement, so if the user does not choose the washing mode suitable for the garment material, it will lead to the risk of damaging and degrading clothes.
