Work out where your line is slowest
Tell us what you press in a day and where the queue forms. Finishing is usually the constraint, and it is usually fixable with one machine rather than four.
Garment finishing is the post-wash, post-clean stage that turns a cleaned item into a press-ready, customer-ready one. It covers every machine that shapes, presses, steams, dries or packages a textile item after washing or cleaning, and it is the widest category Unicorp carries.
Where the time goes
In most dry cleaning shops the cleaning machine has spare capacity and the pressing line does not. That makes finishing the place where a capital investment shows up fastest in throughput. A form finisher that turns a garment in 30 seconds replaces several minutes of hand pressing, and it does it to a consistent standard that does not vary with who is on shift.
The manufacturers
We represent VEIT of Germany, and Reverberi, Due Effe and Rotondi of Italy. Between them they cover the whole line, from a single vacuum ironing table in a tailoring studio to a full tunnel-fed finishing room in a commercial laundry.
Steam is the constraint
Almost everything here runs on steam, and adding a station to a boiler that is already at capacity produces two stations that both underperform. If you are extending a line, have the steam demand calculated first, see industrial steam boilers.
Spotting
Stain treatment happens at a spotting table before or after the main clean, and the machine for it sits in this category. The Reverberi M4201 TASMAC has a vacuumed board and arm, a steam connection and two spotting guns, one for water-based agents and one for solvent-based. The agents themselves are under detergents and chemicals.
By machine type
Three families here have pages of their own where the models from several makers sit side by side: shirt finishers, vacuum ironing tables and steam presses and extraction. Rotondi's machines are catalogued as ranges and are listed under the same headings.
What finishing equipment covers
- Form finishers
- Full-garment steam-and-air dressing for jackets, dresses and shirts. Cycle time 25 to 45 seconds.
- Shirt finishers
- Shirt-shaped tensioning units. Cycle time under 60 seconds, for high-volume laundries.
- Trouser toppers
- Waistband and seat tensioner, run ahead of a leg press.
- Vacuum ironing tables
- Heated, vacuumed and steamed tables for hand-finishing detail work.
- Utility presses
- Flat-bed presses for collars, cuffs, plackets and trouser legs.
- Mushroom presses
- Curved-buck presses for shoulders, sleeves and shaped panels.
- Flatwork ironers
- Large-format ironers for sheets, table linen and pillowcases. Hotel and hospital laundries.
- Spotting tables
- A vacuumed board and arm with steam and spotting guns, for treating individual stains before or after the clean. The suction takes the solvent vapour away from the operator.
The manufacturers behind this range
Catalogued as a range
Some makers are listed by machine family rather than model. Each range page covers the family and what to specify.
- Rotondi vacuum ironing tables
- The workhorse of a pressing floor. Heated surface, built-in vacuum to hold the garment flat, and a steam arm for on-demand steam.
- Rotondi jacket pressing machines
- Underpressing and offpressing for lapels, shoulders and body shaping, from semi-automatic presses up to automated carousels for production volume.
- Rotondi shirt finishing equipment
- A complete shirt line, from collar and cuff underpressing through body finishing to automatic folding. Built for the operations where shirts are the volume item and pressing is the bottleneck.
- Rotondi trouser and jeans pressing machines
- Topping and leg pressing for formal trousers, jeans and casual wear, with adjustment for different fabric weights and production volumes.
Answers before you enquire
- What is the difference between a form finisher and a shirt finisher?
- A form finisher dresses a whole garment on an inflatable form and suits jackets, coats and dresses. A shirt finisher is a shirt-shaped tensioning unit built for one garment type at high volume.
- Do I need a separate boiler?
- Most of this equipment runs off a central steam supply. Whether your existing boiler has the capacity for another station is a calculation worth doing before you order the machine.
