LACO Simple Plus 500 Gas Industrial Ironer
The LACO Simple Plus 500 Gas is an industrial ironer from LACO Machinery's Simple Plus series, using gas as its heating source. It features a 500 mm roll diameter, roller lengths from 2,000 mm to 3,300 mm and a maximum ironing production capacity of 125 kg/hr under the manufacturer's stated test conditions.
A key feature of the Simple Plus version is its automatic feeding system with two clamps, allowing one operator to feed up to 240 pieces per hour. The machine also supports manual feeding of small pieces in multiple lanes.
Patented Flexible Steel Chest
- Flexible laser-welded steel chest: The chest is manufactured using laser-welding technology and heated by circulating thermal oil.
- Self-adjusting chest: The flexible chest design adapts to the ironing roll during operation.
- Hydraulic pressure adjustment: The hydraulic system allows adjustment of the contact pressure between the chest and the roll.
- 185° ironing contact angle: The design provides a large contact area between the chest and roll to support ironing performance.
- Linen scrapers: Scraper components help separate linen from the roll and prevent marks on the fabric surface.
- Energy recovery: LACO's design incorporates energy recovery during operation.
Gas Heating System
The LACO Simple Plus 500 Gas uses a gas burner to heat the thermal oil system. Burner capacity ranges from 52 to 91 kW, depending on the roller length configuration.
According to the manufacturer's documentation, the heating system features a built-in boiler, an expansion tank and a modulating Low-NOx burner mounted directly on the boiler. The boiler uses multiple thick-walled steel coils and has a stated efficiency of 94%. The machine can operate on natural gas or propane.
LACO states a very low energy consumption level of 0.38 kW/kg.
Automatic And Manual Feeding System
Unlike the standard Simple version, which uses manual feeding without clamps, the Simple Plus is equipped with an automatic feeding system using two clamps. One operator can feed up to 240 pieces per hour.
- Automatic feeding: The two-clamp system feeds linen into the machine. One operator can handle feeding at a rate of up to 240 pieces per hour, as stated by LACO.
- Manual feeding: Small pieces can be fed manually in multiple lanes.
Longfolding System And Linen Output
The LACO Simple Plus 500 Gas supports different linen handling configurations after ironing:
- Automatic longfolding: Configurable with 1, 2 or 3 longfolds in 1 or 2 lanes. Folded linen is delivered to the front at the lower output position.
- Without longfolding: When the longfolding function is not used, linen is delivered to the front at the upper output position.
Controls And Operation
- 7.5-inch colour touchscreen: Supports machine operation and control.
- Speed adjustment: Ironing speed ranges from 1.5–5.5 m/min; the high-speed configuration reaches 12 m/min according to the catalogue.
- Hydraulic chest pressure adjustment: Allows adjustment of the contact pressure between the chest and the roll.
- Exhaust system: The machine is equipped with a 0.25 kW exhaust motor and a 75 mm exhaust duct.
Applications
The LACO Simple Plus 500 Gas is suitable for professional laundry facilities requiring flexible feeding and flatwork processing. Its automatic two-clamp feeding system, single-operator operation and longfolding options support different linen handling requirements in industrial laundry operations.
