LACO Comfort 500 Steam Industrial Ironer
The LACO Comfort 500 Steam is an industrial ironer from LACO Machinery's Comfort range, using steam as its heating source. It features a 500 mm roll diameter, with roller lengths ranging from 1,750 mm to 3,300 mm. Maximum ironing production capacity reaches 112 kg/hr under the test conditions specified by the manufacturer.
Thick Steam Chest
The Comfort 500 Steam uses a thick steam chest. This construction is specified by LACO for the steam-heated version and differs from the flexible laser-welded steel chest heated by thermal oil used in the gas- and electrically heated versions.
Steam Heating System
The machine uses steam supplied from an external system to heat the ironing chest. According to LACO's technical table, the machine has a 5/4" steam inlet and a 3/4" condensate return connection.
The steam heating system is suitable for laundry facilities with an existing steam supply that meets the equipment's operating requirements.
Feeding System
The Comfort 500 Steam can be configured with an automatic feeding system using clamps in one lane. The system holds and spreads linen before feeding it into the ironing zone.
- Automatic feeding: Uses a clamp feeding system in one lane.
- Feeding capacity: According to LACO's configuration information, one person can feed up to 240 pieces per hour.
- Manual feeding: Small pieces can be fed manually in multiple lanes.
Automatic Folding System
The machine can be configured with automatic linen folding options according to the laundry facility's output requirements.
- Longfolding and crossfolding: One, two or three longfolds in one lane can be combined with two or three crossfolds. The folded linen is delivered to the stacker.
- Longfolding with front output: One, two or three longfolds can be selected in one or two lanes. Linen is delivered to the front, below the machine.
- Without longfolding: Linen can be delivered to the rear table or to the top at the front.
Folding functions and output arrangements are configuration options; they are not all installed simultaneously as standard equipment.
Control And Operation
- Adjustable chest pressure: The hydraulic system allows adjustment of the contact pressure between the ironing chest and roll.
- Speed adjustment: Standard ironing speed ranges from 1.5–5.5 m/min, with a high-speed mode of 12 m/min.
- Suction system: The machine is equipped with a suction system to support the ironing process.
- Colour touchscreen: A 7.5-inch colour touchscreen is available as an option according to the technical brochure.
