Ask us
One supplier for a mixed floor
Most South African plants run machines from three or four makers. Tell us what is on your floor and we will tell you what we can hold for you.
Very few South African dry cleaning plants run a single manufacturer. A shop typically has a BÖWE cleaning machine, an Italian press, a boiler from somewhere else, and a finisher inherited with the premises. Sourcing parts for that floor from four suppliers is how a two-hour repair becomes a two-week one.
What this service is
We stock and source OEM-compatible spare parts for the major dry cleaning machine and pressing equipment brands used across South Africa, including Forenta and Unipress, which we do not distribute. Local Johannesburg stock, dispatched nationally.
Press valves by make and model
United Brass Works of North Carolina publishes one selection chart for the presses it supports, and Universe Corp resells the valves. It is transcribed here so you can read your press off it; each valve links to the page that lists its models and spec sheets. A dash means the chart names no valve in that position.

Hoffman, Forenta, Unipress and Ajax press support
The valves and linkage parts on these presses are made by United Brass Works in the USA. Common models are held in Wynberg and the rest are ordered in. They are listed on five pages: head valves, buck valves, vacuum valves, spotting board valves and Hoffman Model R, V and X parts. Send the press plate and a photograph of the valve in place with the enquiry.
Genuine versus compatible
Where Universe Corp is the authorised distributor, parts are genuine and carry the manufacturer's warranty. Where we are not, we supply OEM-compatible components from established European manufacturers. You will always be told which of the two you are being quoted, because on a machine that costs six figures that distinction matters.
What we need from you
The machine plate. Make, model and serial number identifies the part in most cases; a photograph settles the rest.
What this covers
Brands we hold and source for
- Dry cleaning machines
- BÖWE above all, but also the solvent system components common across the machines in service here.
- Pressing and finishing
- VEIT and Rotondi presses and finishers, plus Forenta, Unipress and Hoffman, which we do not distribute but do support, with United Brass Works valves and linkage for them.
- Steam plant
- Reverberi and Silter boilers, generators and their control components.
- Common wear items
- Seals, filters, elements, valves and covers, the parts that fail on a schedule rather than a surprise.
