LACO Comfort 800 Electric Industrial Ironer
The LACO Comfort 800 Electric is an industrial ironer from LACO Machinery's Comfort EVO range, using electricity as its heating source. It features an 800 mm roll diameter and four roller-length options from 2,000 mm to 3,300 mm. Standard ironing production capacity reaches up to 250 kg/hr. With the optional LACO Air-stream® system, production capacity can reach up to 300 kg/hr according to the manufacturer's technical table.
Flexible Steel Chest Heated by Thermal Oil
The Comfort 800 Electric uses a flexible steel chest, laser-welded and heated by thermal oil. According to LACO, the chest is designed to adapt to the roll surface during the ironing process.
- Laser-welded steel construction: The ironing chest is made of flexible steel with laser-welded construction.
- Thermal oil heating: Thermal oil is used as the heating medium for the chest.
- Adapts to the roll: The chest is designed to adapt to the roll surface during operation.
- Adjustable hydraulic pressure: The hydraulic system allows adjustment of the chest contact pressure.
Electric Heating System
The Comfort 800 Electric uses electrical resistance heating for the ironing chest. Heating element capacity varies according to roller length: 60 kW, 75 kW, 90 kW and 90 kW for the 2,000 mm, 2,500 mm, 3,000 mm and 3,300 mm configurations, respectively.
The thermal oil heating system combined with the flexible steel chest is the construction specified by LACO for its electrically and gas-heated versions. The brochure also describes energy recovery technology to optimize heat utilization during operation.
Automatic Feeding System
The Comfort 800 Electric can be configured with an automatic feeding system using two clamps in one lane, combined with a brushing system to help spread linen before it enters the ironing section.
- Automatic two-clamp feeding: Linen is automatically held and spread before entering the machine.
- One-person operation: According to LACO, one person can operate the feeding system at a rate of up to 240 pieces per hour.
- Brushing system: Supports linen spreading and feeding quality.
- Manual feeding: Manual feeding for small pieces in multiple lanes can be selected.
Automatic Folding And Linen Output
The LACO Comfort EVO supports an automatic folding system capable of up to three longfolds and three crossfolds. The Comfort 800 Electric can be configured with different folding and output arrangements to suit the linen processing workflow.
- Longfolding and crossfolding: One, two or three longfolds in one lane can be combined with two or three crossfolds. 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 depend on the selected machine configuration.
Control And Operation

- 10-inch colour touchscreen: Shown in the manufacturer's machine description.
- Adjustable hydraulic pressure: Allows adjustment of the contact pressure between the ironing chest and roll.
- Speed adjustment: Standard ironing speed ranges from 3–12 m/min, with a high-speed mode of 16 m/min.
- Suction system: Supports moisture extraction during operation.
LACO Air-stream® – Optional Production Enhancement
LACO Air-stream® is an optional technology described in the Comfort EVO brochure. It uses fresh-air intake and moist-air extraction to create an accelerated evaporation zone through a ventilated ironing chest.

- 2,000 mm roller length: from 164 kg/hr to 195 kg/hr.
- 2,500 mm roller length: from 200 kg/hr to 240 kg/hr.
- 3,000 mm roller length: from 230 kg/hr to 275 kg/hr.
- 3,300 mm roller length: from 250 kg/hr to 300 kg/hr.
Air-stream® is an optional configuration and is not standard equipment on every Comfort 800 Electric machine.
Configuration Options
- Return feed: A configuration that returns linen towards the front.
- Extended feeding table: A feeding table with adjustable height.
- Automatic feeding system: Uses a set of two clamps in one lane.
- Folding and stacking system: Automatic folding and stacker output can be selected according to requirements.
- LACO Air-stream®: An optional system that accelerates evaporation through airflow.
Ironing Production Capacity
According to LACO's technical table, the Comfort 800 Electric is available with four roller lengths and the following standard and Air-stream® production capacities:
- 2,000 mm roller length: 164 kg/hr standard; 195 kg/hr with Air-stream®.
