Rotary ironer Single-roll

The STAHL Super Trough is a truly unique feature in trough technology. Only thanks to its raised feed area does STAHL’s dimensionally stable trough technology offer you an actual wrap angle of 180° under contact pressure. The use of this technology increases the flattening stroke under contact pressure by up to 20 %. In addition, STAHL troughs made of gray cast iron or steel ensure excellent heat retention and even heat distribution. Unlike, for example, lower-quality heating bands or aluminum troughs, STAHL troughs remain absolutely dimensionally stable even under extreme temperature fluctuations and maintain the set ironing temperature much longer during ironing without the need for continuous reheating.
In addition, steam-heated STAHL hot calenders feature a split steam distribution system inside the machine. This ensures that only the first half of the platen is continuously supplied with fresh steam across the entire working width to maintain a constant ironing temperature. All of this promises you maximum performance with optimal energy efficiency and, above all, first-class finish quality.

With STAHL trough calenders, the roller moves up and down, not the heavy trough. This means that the trough is not lifted and pressed against the roller—a process that requires a constant, enormous amount of energy—but rather, with STAHL hot calenders, the roller is lowered into the trough and pressed against it for calendering. For you, this means that with STAHL, you save energy and make cleaning the trough easier, since the roller lifts far out of the trough for this purpose.

The electronically controlled, continuously variable three-phase gearmotor is mounted directly on the roller and is controlled by a frequency converter. It ensures low-maintenance, loss-free operation of your hot press, with a low-stress soft start and stop. With the specially developed PTS drive, the power electronics, together with the intelligent control system, regulate the motors’ energy consumption in real time. Thanks to the highly efficient drive technology, your energy consumption is reduced to a minimum. No lubrication and no chains or V-belts ensure minimal maintenance requirements.

STAHL trough calenders come equipped with a double-walled, fully insulated metal cover. This sturdy cover provides energy-saving thermal insulation and minimizes heat loss. You and your employees will benefit from a comfortable working environment. It can be easily lifted off to clean the trough or replace the calendering cloth.

The optimal contact pressure and long pressing stroke of STAHL hot calenders are the key factors in achieving a first-class finish for your textiles. These two factors, combined with the trough-calender design, result in an elegant sheen on your pressed linens. Furthermore, unlike with a cylinder mangle, STAHL mangles leave no unsightly mangle belt marks, ensuring you always achieve the best possible mangling results.

With STAHL hot calenders, laundry is fed via non-slip conveyor belts that prevent the laundry from slipping and significantly reduce the need for constant adjustments during feeding. This increases your laundry throughput, as you can move on to the next piece of laundry sooner. The belt drive is self-tensioning, and the drive motor is integrated into the electronic control system, ensuring synchronized operation with the selected ironing speed. No tension is applied to the laundry item. This ensures that a round tablecloth remains round and a square one remains square. Optionally, the infeed area can be supplemented with a performance-enhancing vacuum system.

STAHL calenders come standard with a user-friendly analog control system that allows, among other things, for stepless adjustment of the calender speed. Optionally, the calender can also be operated using the STAHL FREEpro touch microprocessor control system with a large display. In a mangling line with a feeding machine and/or folding machine, the display control system serves as the central control unit. Its design ensures clarity and ease of use. Here, repeatable process sequences can be saved, and various values can be monitored on the display.
STAHL trough mangles are designed to offer you perfect ease of use. The loading and unloading of laundry is at an ergonomic height, ensuring that you and your staff always enjoy using STAHL mangles.

The laundry folding table at the rear of an STAHL hot mangle is made of high-quality veneered wood. This natural material ensures that moisture is absorbed and prevents a film of water from forming, as would happen with a sheet-metal table. In addition, the high-quality wooden table does not get as hot as a sheet-metal table, thereby reducing the risk of burns for you and your employees.
