Unit Settings
The following three unit settings aect the
nal atwork nish:
• Ironing Cylinder Temperature
• Ironing Speed
• Compression Roll Pressure
This information contributes to achieving the
best quality nished atwork. Once processing
tests have been run on the dierent types of
atwork, write down the results on the Operating
Standard form and post by the unit.
Refer to APPENDIX: Operating Standard
form, for an authorized person to photocopy,
indicate, approve, and post the settings per
atwork type.
NOTE: It is important to write
down the ironing settings that
produce the best quality finish
for each type of atwork being
processed. These standards
should be posted. This removes
“guesswork” from the daily routine
and maximizes the eciency and
consistency of the entire laundry
operation. Consistent washing
and ironing habits are the key to
quality results.
Ironing Cylinder Temperature
In general, the lower the operating temperature,
the slower the unit must be run in order to produce
a quality atwork nish.
Ironing Speed
The ironing speed should be standardized
based on MR, fabric content and thickness for
atwork to be properly dried and ironed.
Thin, single layer material can be processed
at higher speeds. Double thickness items such as
pillowcases, and thicker material like tabletop
atwork must be nished at lower speeds.
NOTE: Processing excessively
dry atwork at too low a speed
may result in scorched atwork.
Excessively moist flatwork,
processed at too high a speed will
result in a damp, poorly nished
piece of atwork.
Compression Roll Pressure
Another factor dictating the amount of
residual moisture removed in the atwork is the
compression roll pressure. The pressure also sets
the calendering eect—the stretching and sliding
of the atwork to remove wrinkles and achieve a
better quality nish.
For more information, refer to Compression
Roll Pressure Adjustment on page 7-18.
