Heated-Roll Flatwork Ironers -F08, F13, F20

No Wax Finishing Means Less Mess & Hassle
Pro-Series Heated-Roll Ironers, available in multiple finishing widths and 8-, 13- or 20-inch diameter rolls, bring no-wax finishing technology to laundries. Thanks to machined-steel cylinders, which are mirror polished and chrome plated, laundries avoid the messy application and stripping of roll wax. Not only is the no-wax design less hassle, it also reduces the labor and material costs associated with wax maintenance. Plus, the no-wax design eliminates linen damage caused by wax contact— extending linen and machine ribbon life.

Durability Second to None
Pro-Series Flatwork Ironers are constructed for constant use. Features such as sturdy steel frames and cylinders, fiberglass endplates and heavy-duty, permanently lubricated bearings make it possible for all Pro-Series Ironers to carry a 5/3 year limited warranty-the best in the industry! An added layer of thermal insulation takes quality and efficiency  a step further by trapping heat inside the ironer where it belongs.
 
Energy Efficient
Better yet, Pro-Series ironers work to curb spiking utility costs by offering excellent energy efficiency. The result is an ironer capable of increasing production and decreasing overhead costs. Four components work together — a motor reducer, speed inverter, encoder and versatile microprocessor — to help eliminate wasted energy usage during ramp-up, operation and cool-down.

Safe to Operate
Today’s industrial laundries need energy efficient, labor-reducing equipment. Similarly, laundries value equipment that is proven safe to use. Did you know Pro-Series ironers meet rigorous worldwide environmental and safety standards? Safety features abound on these models, including independent switch disconnect, emergency stop button, hand guard with double safety sensors, electrical circuit safeguard, manual lint removal and a computer alarm. Safety start-up and automatic cooling and shut down also ensure safe operation.

Unique Features

Heavy Duty Manifold & Lint Screen
Providing a clean, cool and quiet working environment is important. Pro-Series Flatwork ironers help reduce unwanted laundry room noise and heat because exhaust motors, fans, and vents are located away from operators, to the rear of the units. And, during the ironing process, residual lint is pulled through a manifold and filtered through a heavy-duty screen. In doing so, Continental Pro-Series ironers prevent lint from re-depositing on linens, and ensure lint doesn't escape into the laundry room where it can pollute the air and clog vent ducts.

Pressure Sensitive Hand Guard
Pro-Series Ironers feature a pressure-sensitive hand guard located at the ironer feeding area. When the control detects pressure on the guard, it automatically stops ironer operation-preventing potential accidents. The control will not permit the ironer to start until the guard cover is activated.

Integrated Folder Option
 An integrated folder option is available on all F20 roll model ironers. Integrated folding saves space and can significantly cut labor costs.

Kinematic Pressure System
Pro-Series Heated-Roll Ironers offer the exclusive Kinematic Pressure System. The system, which presses linen against heated rolls with 3.5 times more pressure than stretch-type ironers, works in conjunction with powerful vent fans and a stainless steel vacuum manifold to quickly pull moisture away from fabric. In doing so, linen can be transferred directly from the washer to the ironer-saving valuable labor and energy! An added bonus? Kinematic Pressure is also easier on fabric because it presses rather than stretches linens. Not only does this technique produce top-quality finishing results and even edges, it helps extend linen life by reducing fabric wear.

Control

All Pro-Series Flatwork Ironers offer easy-to-operate controls that provide efficient performance and flexibility. The electro-mechanical control (F08 models) provides simple control of all basic ironing parameters. Continental's Microprocessor Control (F13 and F20 models), enables complete programmability of a multitude of variables including ironing speed and temperature, Autospeed or manual mode operation, cool-down cycle, and diagnostics. No matter the linen type or moisture content, Continental ironers provide superior finishing results every time!

Hand Crank
 In the event of a power outage, items in process can be manually removed from the machine using the provided hand crank. This is a simple design feature that reduces the possibility of linen damage due to excessive heat exposure.
