The Reverberi M5500 and M5500/1 PPU are professional universal pressing machines with pneumatic lowering of the upper pressing board, designed for dry cleaners, garment workshops, tailors, and commercial laundries requiring versatile garment pressing capabilities. Operated by foot pedal control for hands-free pressing, these universal presses feature integrated vacuum suction and are available in two configurations: the M5500/1 with safe hand loom protection, and the M5500 with two-push-button operation. Both models are supplied without steam generator (requires external steam connection) and include an integrated vacuum aspirator for moisture removal during pressing. Manufactured by Reverberi s.r.l. in Italy, these professional pressing machines are supplied in South Africa by Unicorp for commercial garment care operations.

The Reverberi M5500/M5500/1 PPU universal presses provide pneumatic lowering of the upper pressing board for controlled, consistent pressing force across all garment types. The foot pedal control allows operators to lower and raise the pressing board while keeping both hands free to position and manipulate garments during the pressing cycle. The integrated vacuum aspirator removes steam and moisture from garments during pressing, producing crisp, dry finishing results and reducing pressing time. The pneumatic system provides smooth, adjustable pressing force suitable for delicate fabrics through to heavy materials such as coats and jackets. These universal presses are supplied without an integrated steam generator and require connection to an external steam source such as a separate steam boiler.

Questions

Answers before you enquire

What is the difference between the M5500 and M5500/1 models?
The M5500/1 includes a safe hand loom protection system that prevents accidental lowering of the pressing board while the operator’s hands are positioning garments. This provides enhanced safety for operators. The M5500 uses a two-push-button control system without the safe hand loom. Both models offer the same pneumatic lowering capability and integrated vacuum aspirator, with the primary difference being the safety control system.
Does the M5500/M5500/1 include a steam generator?
No. Both the M5500 and M5500/1 are supplied without an integrated steam generator. They require connection to an external steam source such as a separate steam boiler. This provides flexibility for operations that already have existing steam generation systems, or allows the steam boiler to be sized and configured separately based on the specific steam requirements of your facility.
What is the advantage of pneumatic lowering?
Pneumatic lowering provides smooth, controlled pressing force that can be adjusted based on garment type and fabric weight. The foot pedal control allows the operator to keep both hands free to position and manipulate garments during the pressing cycle, improving pressing quality and operator efficiency. Pneumatic operation also provides consistent pressing force for repeatable results across all garments.
What garments can be pressed on a universal press?
Universal presses are suitable for pressing trousers, jackets, coats, skirts, and other garments requiring flat pressing between two heated surfaces. They are particularly effective for pressing trouser legs, jacket panels, coat fronts and backs, and other garment components that benefit from simultaneous pressing from both sides. Universal presses provide faster pressing compared to hand ironing and produce consistent professional results.
Does Unicorp provide installation and training?
Yes. Unicorp provides delivery coordination, installation support, and operator training for Reverberi pressing machines across South Africa. Our team can advise on correct installation, steam supply connection, compressed air requirements, electrical connections, and demonstrate proper operation techniques including safe garment positioning and pressing procedures to ensure your equipment delivers professional results from day one.
