Abstract

See full text

A ballasted tub for washing machines, particularly clothes washing machines or combined clothes washing and drying machines. Two circular shells (9, 10) of plastic material are adapted to be fitted and connected with each other along their periphery and are shaped in such a way as to be adapted to accommodate a plurality of ballast blocks (8) made of concrete or other suitable heavy material. The ballast blocks (8) are pre-formed and applied against the corresponding front and rear surfaces of the shells (9, 10) with fasteners (22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 31, 32) of a known type, thereby implementing a ballasted tub with a modular structure, wherein both the disposition and the combination of the ballast blocks (8) can be varied at will to balance differently shaped and sized tubs therewith.
