3.4 Operating Techniques
The following factors are involved in producing
the best flatwork finish possible with the unit:
• Conditioning Flatwork Before Ironing
• Unit Settings
• Processing Standards
• Maximum Productivity
The conditioning of flatwork before processing
and the control settings on the unit will affect the
processing standards. The processing standards
ensure that flatwork is processed in a consistent
and efficient manner.
Conditioning Flatwork Before
Ironing
There are several characteristics of flatwork
which are determined by processes before drying
and ironing, including:
• Wash Load
• Final Rinse
• Moisture Retention
• Timing Between Washing and Ironing
Wash Load
The wash load should consist of flatwork
with the same fabric blend. Mixing different
fabric blends in the same wash load can create
inconsistent results because different fabrics
retain different levels of moisture during the
extraction process. Such mixing can also create
excess lint on flatwork. The unit works most
efficiently when one type of flatwork is processed
at a time.
CAUTION
Starch only according to
a proper starch program.
Improper levels of starch will
build a residue on the ironing
surface and reduce the unit’s
ability to finish flatwork.
