Waxing
Standard Ironing Cylinder
Daily waxing of the ironing cylinder ensures it
is coated correctly, allowing the atwork to slide
easily across the cylinder surface.
This produces the best flatwork finish,
eliminates creases, prolongs return ribbon life,
prevents the atwork from sticking to the ironing
cylinder, and protects the temperature contact
shoes from excessive wear.
Chrome Ironing Cylinder
Chrome-plated ironing cylinders may require
less frequent waxing. However, if excessive static
build-up is causing atwork to stick to the return
ribbons or is aecting machinery down-stream of
the ironer, occasional waxing may be benecial.
In addition, occasional waxing may help
prevent excessive wear on the temperature
contact shoes.
