OPL IRONERS


Compact ironers big up smaller businesses


Even though an OPL can be any size it wants to be, I guess in this piece we are looking at compact systems. So what is available now, pre Texcare 2024?

omus wall ironers now come with speed and humidity control and connectivity offering total control of the process. 1 or 2 roll chest flatwork ironers are also available along with folders for towels, napkins, pillowcases and small garments.


Domus offers its own ‘Efficient Iron’ system with humidity control for increased energy efficiency along with TOUCH II controls (in Ø 500/650 mm models), as well as many advanced features such as radiant gas burner, rear exhaust, longitudinal folding, connectivity, versatility, and so on. All features vary depending on the chosen model and the available budget. Four main lines are available – Ø 200 / 325 / 500 mm, as well as the new Ø 650 mm models. Compact flatwork ironers for small, high-volume laundry services are capable of feeding, drying, ironing, folding, and stacking flatwork linen in a single operation. They need no more than 27 m2 to operate and offer superior productivity — they can process 290 kg/h — always in line with the energy efficiency that

characterises all Domus machinery, says the company, as well as the best quality in the final result.


Additional options include an automatic gripper feeder for one-man operation. When finished, the folded linen is collected in the built-in side stacker. For small items, these machines are equipped to hold napkin folding machines at the back to streamline operation and boost productivity. 1 or 2 roll chest flatwork ironers are also available along with folders for towels, napkins, pillowcases and small garments.


GMP, meanwhile, offers a range of products for all purposes and is aware that one of the critical points of an industrial product is the interaction between the operator and the equipment, says GMP sales director Vera Simon.


In 2022 the company showcased the brand’s latest ironer evolutions: E2 and G2 at ExpoDetergo in Milan – respectively chest ironers and drying ironers. The innovative SHARP control designed for GMP’s E2 facilitates such interaction, taking the user experience to next level. In


fact, SHARP is not just an intuitive control, but provides all the information needed by operators to work easily and independently at their exisitng experience level. SHARP control:


Trains the operator, suggesting best process practices and clarifying operational doubts.


Communicates with the user in 13 languages with simple and clear messages.


Manages small operational errors, limiting the power when necessary (GEMINI twin control).


Contributes to saving waste energy thanks to sleep mode whi h automatically switches to rest mode when no activity is detected.


Additionally, the MYPROGRAMS section allows the creation and storage of up to 50 customised ironing programs. The SHARP control platform has been extremely successful thanks to its innovative approach to the commercial equipment use and it will be extended to the new G2 line soon, says Simon.
