Roll Design And Steam Chest
- 1,200 mm roll diameter: The GRAND KING features a single Ø1,200 mm roll. The catalogue indicates an ironing contact angle of 278° and compares its ironing surface with an equivalent configuration using two Ø700 mm rolls.

- Thick steam chest with hinges: According to LACO's official GRAND KING Steam product information, this version features a thick steam chest with hinges.
- Energy recovery: The catalogue highlights optimal energy recovery technology to support operating efficiency.
Steam Heating System
The LACO GRAND KING Steam uses steam as its heating source. The machine has a 6/4” steam inlet connection and a 1” condensate return connection. The catalogue does not specify the steam heating power or steam consumption rate.
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: 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 support felt drying as the felt 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 zone created by the ventilated bed.
Control System And Equipment
- PLC control: The catalogue illustrates PLC control with 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: The system 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 motor: The motor for the feeding belt suction system is rated at 1.1 kW.
Optional Equipment
