Description
The machines described in this handbook have a ironing capacity of 190, 210, 250, 280, 320
cm wide depending on the type. They are available with steam, electric, gas or thermal fluid
heating.
A version of the machine with a fully automatic folding system enables one or two persons to
dry, iron and fold sheets longitudinally.
Another version with a mechanical system allows the washing to come out at the back of the
machine.
The ironing speed is adjustable as a function of the density (weight/m²) and humidity of the
washing.
The electrically heated dryers-ironers can be equipped with a temperature regulation system
for the heating cylinder using circulating heat. Machines fitted with a Dubixium cylinder have a
normal electric heating device.
This system provides an excellent tool to optimise the performance of the dryer-ironer for those
clients who mainly carry out staggered ironing. It prevents suddenly heating cut-outs caused by
partial use of the whole length of the machine (Patent No. 9608471).
The unused calories on the sides of the cylinder are redistributed towards the centre, where the
demand is greatest (please see the diagram below).
In this way, it is possible to limit the rise in temperature on the sides of the cylinder and the
fall in temperature in the centre of the cylinder.
