Hi everyone,
I'm trying to figure out what a "lavacentrifuga" is.
Is it just another way of saying a spin-dryer or is it actually something else?
TIA

Discussion
Sorry, I should have said before, the text is speaking about industrial washing, so I suppose washer extractor would be the correct term in this case then
