Low Maintenance
The heated roll requires no waxing when
used on a daily basis. This is an
innovation that separates us
from the competition.
A significant difference in
Speed Queen’s innovation is the
permanently lubricated bearings on
the 200 mm (8") and 325 mm (13")
heated roll finishers. This can save hours
of maintenance every month, while
keeping your machine operating like it
just came from the factory.
Another unique advantage of
Speed Queen is the finished goods
fingers. To ensure the linens remove themselves from
the heated roll without wrapping around the roll,
Speed Queen installs a row of fingers to keep your
finisher running without destroying linens.
Energy Efficient
Our low kW consumption ratings will save you
money. We achieve a low kW consumption through
numerous details that make our flatwork finisher more
energy friendly. To maintain the heat on the steel roll
which presses the linen, we use thicker steel for a
more consistent temperature.
While the heat is produced near the top of the unit,
we place our dual exhaust fans toward the bottom to
remove less heat from the roll. In combination with
this, we totally enclose the entire cabinet to maintain
more insulation around the heated roll. Our 300º
angle of contact gives linens a longer contact with the
heated roll, allowing less energy to be consumed.
Control
The micro control allows for pre-sets of
temperature and speed settings. The
temperature range is 80º C to 176.6º
C. There are seven speed settings to
assist in getting the precise speed for
the linen type and moisture content.
When finished at the end of a day, simply press the
STOP button and the control will allow the roll to
continue to turn until it reaches a safe temperature
of 80º C before the roll completely stops.
When you start the day, the control turns the roll at
the lowest speed until it reaches 80º C to allow for
more efficient energy use.
Selecting the Proper Size
While our units are available with 200, 325 or 500 mm
(8", 13" or 20") diameter rolls, selecting the proper size
will make the job easier. The larger the diameter of the
roll, the faster the operating speed since the linen is in
more contact with the heated surface.
The ironer’s finishing length should be slightly larger
than the width of the linen you will finish. Most linens
for tables of four will require a 1600 mm (63") width.
If finishing sheets or banquet tablecloths, you may
require a 3200 mm (126") width.
