OPTIMAL SETUP: Domus ironer in an OPL envirionment
“Contrary to washers and dryers, an ironer is an open system, where the individual experience in operating makes a big difference in whether you obtain great results or great issues” said Rudi Giaon CEO of GMP, speaking at ExpoDetergo.
“If you add difficulties in finding experienced labour, or frequent turnover very typical of seasonal hospitality activities, you can obtain a problematic mix. In designing E2 and SHARP control, GMP’s challenge has been to offer an effective solution to a deeply felt necessity and I believe we have fully reached our goal.”
Girbau ironing and folding systems offer a variety of automation capabilities for feeding, ironing and folding flatwork bed and table linens, as well as for folding towels and blankets. The Girbau 5-in-One Compact Plus, for example is a compact machine that automatically feeds, dries, irons, folds and stacks. All Girbau ironers quickly iron items straight from the washer without dryer preconditioning. In just 20m2
(215sq.ft), a single machine
integrates five functions: Feeding, drying, ironing, folding, stacking and collecting. In addition, the Compact PRO can be easily installed in spaces with difficult accessibility. Its modular structure allows quick and easy assembly.
The Compact PRO, which can be set up for 1, 2 or 4 lanes, with 1 lane for sheets, 2 for tablecloths and 4 for small items (such as serviettes or pillowcases), offers increased throughput thanks to its heating power, which makes it possible to iron linen directly without
needing to put it through the dryer first, saving all the time and energy that goes into the drying process. Moreover, heat zones are controlled separately, saving up to 30% on energy.
In programming and connectivity terms, this new integrated ironing system is extremely intuitive and easy to programme, offering the possibility of creating multiple programmes and identifying them with the client’s name in order to simplify processes. The industrial control monitor shows graphically and visually the location of any incidents that might occur, saving time and stopping them impacting on productivity. It also allows remote diagnostics, with no need to travel to collect information for analysing productivity, incidents and operating hours.
The SECO Machinery (SEmi-industrial, C for chest and O for roll and M for machinery) range which Laco sells alongside its large industrial machines, is aimed at the 30 to 80-100kg/ hour business, says the company adding that this range will still produce an amazing 0,38kW/kg linen at 40-50% RM just like the existing LACO range.
Lapauw has long claimed to offer the widest ironer range on the market, from small 500 mm roll diameter, up to the 3-roll, diam. 1600 ironer. With its flexible chest technology, provides a high level of flexibility, as a single ironer can handle both bedding and table linen. With roll diameters from 500 up to 1600 mm and with 2-roll and 3-roll configurations, an expanded range of feeding and folding equipment completes the solution for the large capacities.
