Flexible Steel Chest Design
- Flexible laser-welded steel chest: The ironing chest is manufactured using laser welding technology and heated by circulating thermal oil.
- Chest adapts to the roll: The chest is designed to adjust to the roll surface during operation.
- 185° ironing contact angle: The contact surface between the chest and the roll is designed with an angle of 185°, providing a large contact area for linen processing.
- Large ironing surface, smaller footprint: The design aims to optimize the ironing surface in relation to the machine's footprint.
- Metal scrapers: Scraper components help prevent marks on linen after ironing.
- Energy recovery: The design supports energy recovery during operation.
Gas Heating System
The LACO D500 Gas uses a 52 kW gas burner to heat the thermal oil system. The gas inlet connection is 1/2", and the gas exhaust duct diameter is 90 mm.
The circulating thermal oil system supplies heat to the ironing chest, supporting linen processing and finishing during industrial operation.
Controls And Operation
- Adjustable hydraulic chest pressure: Allows adjustment of the contact pressure between the chest and the ironing roll.
- Speed adjustment: Standard ironing speed ranges from 1.5–5.5 m/min; the high-speed configuration reaches 12 m/min according to the catalogue.
- Exhaust system: The machine has a 0.25 kW exhaust motor, a 75 mm exhaust duct and a 3" roll suction outlet.
- Colour touchscreen: A 7.5-inch colour touchscreen is available as an option.
Feeding System And Optional Equipment
The LACO D500 can be configured with optional equipment to support linen feeding and operation according to the requirements of the laundry facility:
- Extended ergonomic feeding table: An optional feeding table with adjustable height.
- Return feed: An optional configuration that allows linen to return towards the front of the machine.
- Foot pedal: An optional pedal for stopping the ironer.
- Colour touchscreen: An optional 7.5-inch colour control screen.
- LACO Typhoon® system: An optional system that automatically spreads linen at the input. It is available only in combination with the extended feeding table.
- LACO Air-stream® system: An optional ventilated ironing chest system that supports fresh air suction and moisture extraction during operation. According to LACO's brochure illustration, the ventilated chest creates an accelerated evaporation zone, with a stated improvement of 20%.
Note: Perforated feeding belts with suction are available only for the D600 and D800 models, not the D500.
