For higher volume on-premise laundries with limited space,TRI-STAR all-in-one ironer finishing systems are offered in a choice of 32", 28" or 24" (800 mm, 700 mm, or 600 mm) ironing roll diameters. Each all-in-one unit has a built-in CHIcontrolled primary folder, crossfolder, and stacker that provides complete finishing of up to 800 pounds (360 kg) per hour in less than half the floorspace of a separate ironer and folder. Optional built-in O.P.L. spreader / feeder for large pieces and multi-lane folding for small pieces are also available.
After traveling through the dryer and ironer, linen moves directly into the primary fold section where one or two primary folds are performed by timed air pulses. The crossfold section and stacker / conveyor are identical to those found on the Skyline large piece folder series featuring inverter controlled self-contained motor drive for improved efficiency and reduced maintenance. Chicago’s exclusive air jet crossfolding eliminates the punch blade at the third crossfold. A neatly crossfolded package with hidden selvage edges is delivered to the left side receiving shelf or in adjustable height stacks on the optional automatic stacker with conveyor.
Because our combination ironing machines place several pieces of equipment in a small space, commercial laundry can be finished quickly. On the CrosStar 36, a longer input table feeds heavier pieces with less effort. Hinged access to the first crossfold opening allows for easy maintenance access, and a heavy duty blade performs the first crossfold for dependability and consistency on thick or thin items. These features of our combination ironing equipment make the CrosStar 36 more efficient, so it not only saves you space in your laundry, it also saves you time.
