LACO D500 Steam Industrial Ironer
The LACO D500 Steam is an industrial ironer from LACO Machinery's D500 series, using steam as its heating source. It features a 500 mm roll diameter, roller lengths from 1,750 mm to 3,300 mm and a maximum ironing production capacity of 112 kg/hr under the manufacturer's stated test conditions.
Thick Steel Chest Design
- Thick steel chest: The D500 Steam version uses a thick steel chest, unlike the flexible laser-welded chest design presented for the gas- and electrically heated versions.
- Large ironing surface: The machine is designed to optimize the ironing surface in relation to its installation footprint.
- Metal scrapers: Scraper components help separate linen from the roll and prevent marks on the fabric surface.
- Energy recovery: The brochure highlights energy recovery as part of the machine design.
Steam Heating System
The LACO D500 Steam uses steam to heat the ironing chest. The machine has a 5/4" steam inlet connection and a 3/4" condensate return connection for connection to the laundry facility's steam system.
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. The brochure describes the ventilated chest as creating an accelerated evaporation zone.
Note: Perforated feeding belts with suction are available only for the D600 and D800 models, not the D500.
