For all laundry plants, an ironing line is a necessity. When making a choice between a roller ironer and a chest ironer, many European and American laundry plants tend to choose a chest ironer. They think the chest ironer has better flatness, and choosing a roller ironer is a step backward.
However, CLM continuously tests and adjusts the roller ironer by virtue of sufficient market research. The CLM super roller ironer can perfectly meet those European and American laundry customers’ requirements of flatness. Currently, the CLM super roller ironers have been validated by laundry plants in Australia, Belgium, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and other countries. They can meet different hotels’ flatness requirements and have a higher speed. This definitely improves efficiency and saves costs for laundries.
Whether the linen is smooth or not does not depend only on the ironer. The linen goes through a spreading feeder, an ironer, and a folder. The first step of spreading the fabric determines whether the linen can be ironed flat in the end.
CLM Spreading Feeder
A good spreading feeder has great ironing results. Beyond fast feeding, it is important to fully stretch linen flat. 70% spreading and 30% ironing show the important role of spreading feeders in the complete ironing line. There are four core design advantages of the CLM spreading feeder that ensure perfect spreading.
● Stretching
After gripping the linen, the clamps expand the fabric with moderate tension, neither too tight nor too loose. Servo motor-driven clamps have a sensitive response, stable operation, and precise positioning. It is a solid foundation for flat ironing.
● Air Patting and Finishing
Two high-power suction fans are on both sides to pat and arrange the fabric. Even oversized bed sheets can be fed into the ironer in perfectly flat condition.
● Smoothing System
The CLM spreading feeder has two smoothing structures: mechanical blade smoothing and air suction rough belt smoothing. Dual-sided brush rollers for quilt covers smooth fabric during feeding, and can greatly improve ironing quality and linen finishing results.
These processes create the best flat base for incoming linen. Also, the CLM spreading feeder reaches a conveying speed of 60 meters per minute. It supports high-efficiency operation of the whole production line.
CLM 8-roller 650 Roller Ironer
● Roller
Heated cylinders undergo anti-rust grinding treatment so they have a smooth surface that resists chemical residue adhesion and guarantees consistent ironing flatness.
All cylinders adopt a double-sided ironing design to heat and press both sides of linen evenly. Especially for quilt covers, it improves ironing quality and overall working efficiency.
● Belt
All belts of the CLM heavy-duty roller ironer come with automatic tension adjustment. Independent adjusting devices maintain uniform belt tightness to avoid belt marks and stabilize finishing quality.
● Thermal conductivity
Cylinders are made of high thermal conductivity boiler carbon steel with a wall thickness of 11 to 12 mm and withstand 1 MPa steam pressure. Large heat storage capacity ensures even heating and flawless flatness. Four elastic pressure rollers at the inlet instantly evaporate 30% of the linen’s moisture.
This roller ironer also runs at a maximum speed of 60 meters per minute.
CLM Quick Folder
The CLM rapid folder can store more than 20 folding programs, and can automatically fold various sizes of cloth. The cross-fold unit uses an air knife design. Blow time is adjustable based on linen thickness and weight to guarantee precise folding quality. Each cross-fold station is fitted with an air knock-off device to remove folding malfunctions caused by static electricity and prevent linen from wrapping around the drive shaft. All longitudinal folds are completed by folding blades for tidy, uniform folding performance. The fastest speed of the folder can reach 60 meters / minute.
Conclusion
The three machines in the CLM Super Roller Ironing Line work well together to lay the foundation for the evenness and speed from the beginning of spreading linen. This ensures that the ironing of the cloth is fast and flat.
