LACO GRAND KING Gas Industrial Ironer
The LACO GRAND KING Gas is a high-capacity industrial ironer from LACO Machinery, equipped with a gas heating system. It features a 1,200 mm roll diameter and roller lengths from 2,500 mm to 4,000 mm, with a maximum ironing production capacity of 730 kg/hr under the manufacturer's stated test conditions.
Roll Design And Ironing Surface
- Large 1,200 mm roll diameter: The single Ø1,200 mm roll provides a large ironing surface. LACO compares this design with a configuration using two Ø700 mm rolls and indicates an ironing contact angle of 278°.
- Large ironing surface, smaller footprint: According to LACO, the GRAND KING design provides 55% more ironing surface than the comparison configuration shown in the catalogue.
- Flexible laser-welded bed: The flexible laser-welded bed is controlled by oil pressure. This construction applies to the Gas and Electric heated versions.
- Bed adapts to the roll: The bed is designed to adapt to the roll surface, supporting contact during the ironing process.
- Adjustable heating: The catalogue highlights an adjustable heating system.
- Energy recovery: The design incorporates optimal energy recovery technology to support operating efficiency.
Gas Heating System
The LACO GRAND KING Gas uses a gas burner rated at 189 kW for the 2,500 mm roller configuration and 250 kW for roller lengths from 3,000 mm to 4,000 mm. The machine has a 5/4” gas inlet and a Ø200 mm gas exhaust duct.
LACO Air-stream® Technology
LACO Air-stream® is the standard ventilated ironing bed system on the GRAND KING. It supports fresh air suction and moisture extraction during ironing, while the ventilated bed creates an accelerated evaporation zone.
- Fresh air suction: Fresh air is drawn into the system from underneath the ironing area.
- Preheated air: The incoming fresh air is preheated before passing through the ironing area, helping to prevent the linen from cooling down.
- Felt drying: Small perforations on the underside of the ironing bed allow the felt to start drying as soon as it absorbs moisture from the linen.
- Moisture extraction: The system supports the extraction of damp air generated during operation.
According to the Air-stream® brochure, this principle improves ironing efficiency by approximately 20–25%. The GRAND KING catalogue separately indicates a 20% improvement in the accelerated evaporation area created by the ventilated bed.
Control System And Equipment
- PLC control: The catalogue illustrates PLC control through a 7.5” colour touchscreen. The colour touchscreen is also listed in the options section, so the exact control configuration should be confirmed when ordering.
- Adjustable hydraulic chest pressure: Allows adjustment of the ironing chest pressure.
- Ergonomic feeding height: The feeding height is designed to support convenient operation.
- Suction roll: Illustrated as part of the machine configuration in the catalogue.
- Exhaust feeding belts: The machine is equipped with an exhaust feeding belts motor rated at 1.1 kW.
Optional Equipment
- LACO Typhoon® system: An optional damp-air extraction system presented as an addition to Air-stream®.
- Extended feeding table: Available with adjustable height.
- Colour touchscreen: Listed in the catalogue's options section.
