Single roller flatwork ironer

The STAHL super trough is an absolutely unique selling point in the field of ironing technology. Only thanks to raised the feed area does STAHL’s ironing technology, which keeps it shape, offer you an actual 180° wrap-around angle under contact pressure. The use of this technology increases the ironing line under contact pressure by up to 20%. What’s more, STAHL grey iron and steel troughs guarantee excellent heat storage and even heat distribution. Unlike, for example, lower-quality heater bands or aluminium troughs, STAHL troughs retain their shape even under extreme temperature fluctuations and remain at the set ironing temperature for much longer without having to constantly reheat.
In addition, steam-heated STAHL rotary ironers have a separate steam flow inside the machine. This means that only the first half of the trough is supplied with new steam over the entire working width in order to keep the ironing temperature constant. All this promises you maximum performance with optimum energy utilisation and above all a first-class finish quality.

On STAHL’s flatwork ironers, the roller is raised and lowered – not the heavy trough. This means that the trough is not raised and pressed against the roller, which results in a continuous and enormous use of energy. Instead, on STAHL’s rotary ironers, the roller is lowered and pressed onto the trough for ironing. This means that STAHL saves you energy and that the trough is easier for you to clean, since the roller can be lifted and moved away from the trough.

The three-phase current/drive motor can be electronically and continuously adjusted. It is located directly on the roller and is controlled via frequency converters. It guarantees a maintenance-free and lossless drive of your rotary ironer with a low-stress and soft start and stop process. With the specially developed PTS drive the power electronics, together with the intelligent control unit, regulate the power used by the motors at any given moment. Thanks to the highly efficient drive technology your energy consumption is reduced to a minimum. No lubrication and no chains or V-belts mean that you are guaranteed to have minimal maintenance outlays.

STAHL flatwork ironers are supplied with a double-layered, fully insulated metal cover. This sturdy cover provides you with energy-saving heat insulation and reduces heat loss through radiation to a minimum. You and your staff benefit from a pleasant working environment. It can be easily removed to clean the trough or replace the ironer.

The optimal contact pressure and long ironing line of STAHL’s rotary ironers are the major factors behind the first-class finish quality of your textiles. These two factors together with the flatwork ironer’s design principles result in an elegant sheen on your ironed laundry. Moreover, unlike cylinder ironers, with STAHL ironers there are no annoying ironer tape marks, so you always make a good impression with the very best ironing results.

With STAHL rotary ironers, the laundry is fed in on non-slip feed bands which prevent the laundry from slipping and significantly reduce the amount of on-going correction needed during the feed-in process. This leads to an increase in the throughput of your laundry, as you can reach for the next item of laundry more quickly. The belt drive is self-tensioning, and the drive motor is incorporated into the electronic control unit system so it ensures synchronised operation at the selected ironer speed. No tension is exerted on the laundry at all. This means that a round table cloth remains round, and a square one remains square. Optionally, the feeding area can be supported with a performance-enhancing vacuum system.

STAHL flatwork ironers are equipped as standard with a convenient analogue control unit where parameters such as ironing speed can be continuously adjusted. Optionally, the ironer can also be operated via the STAHL FREEpro touch microprocessor control unit, which features a large display. In an ironing line with feeding machines and/or folding machines, the display control is the central control unit. The design guarantees clarity and easy operation. Repeatable process sequences can also be stored here and various values can be monitored on the display.
STAHL flatwork ironers are designed to offer you perfect user-friendliness. The laundry is fed and discharged at an ergonomic height so that you and your staff always enjoy ironing with STAHL.

The laundry folding table on the back of a STAHL rotary ironer is made of high-quality veneered wood. The natural material ensures that moisture is absorbed and that water films do not form, as with a metal table. In addition, the high-quality wooden table does not get as hot as a metal table, therefore reducing the risk of you or your employees sustaining burns.
