Flexible Steel Chest Design
- Flexible laser-welded steel chest: The ironing chest is manufactured using laser welding technology and heated by circulating thermal oil.
- Self-adjusting chest: The single-piece chest is designed to adjust itself to the roll surface during operation.
- Hydraulic pressure adjustment: Hydraulic cylinders allow adjustment of the contact pressure between the chest and the ironing roll.
- 185° ironing contact angle: The design provides a large contact area between the chest and roll to support linen processing.
- Linen scrapers: Scraper components help separate linen from the roll and prevent marks on the fabric surface.
- Large ironing surface, smaller footprint: The design optimizes the ironing surface in relation to the machine's footprint.
Gas Heating System
The LACO Simple 500 Gas uses a gas burner to heat the thermal oil system. According to the catalogue, burner capacity ranges from 52 to 91 kW, depending on roller length. The heating system is designed with a built-in boiler, an expansion tank and a modulating Low-NOx gas burner mounted directly on the boiler.
The manufacturer specifies that the boiler features multiple thick-walled steel coils and an efficiency of 94%, supporting stable heating. The machine can operate on natural gas or propane, according to LACO's documentation.
