16:58 | Lima, Dec. 13. Researchers from Pontifical Catholic University of Peru (PUCP) have designed and manufactured a 5 kg/h vicuña fiber washing machine to remove impurities, as well as avoid vicuña fiber entanglement and breakage.
The innovative mini washer was created by a team led by Eliseo Barriga, who affirms that the project consists of immersing vicuña fiber in an aqueous solution of hot water and detergents.
The impurities in the fiber like grease, dust, dirt, among others will be removed with gentle movements by means of mechanical systems and the application of ultrasound to avoid it (the fiber) from getting curled and tangled until it is damaged or broken when washing it manually.

Peru Protests: Monuments Left Alone as They re Protected With Plastic & Fabrics
Attacked in other countries during social and political protests, historical monuments and statues in Peru s capital came out of recent street demonstrations practically intact. Peru plunged into turmoil in early November when Congress voted to oust President Martín Vizcarra. Protesters filled the streets, decrying the move as a parliamentary coup, and some clashed with the police. After a week, there were two protesters dead and more than 200 injured. But monuments were practically spared, in part because they were protected with plastic or fabrics, but also because they were not targeted by protesters.
