Rotondi steam generators and industrial irons
The power source for everything else on the floor. Industrial generators for multi-station supply, plus gravity-feed irons and compact steam systems for smaller operations.
Rotondi Group steam generators and irons are supplied and supported in South Africa by Universe Corp.
Rotondi Group manufactures entirely in Italy. Universe Corp is the authorised South African distributor, which means the warranty is real, the parts are genuine and the installation is done by our own technicians.
What Rotondi makes for this
Industrial steam generators
Continuous high-pressure steam to several pressing stations at once, with automatic water feed and safety pressure controls, built for the duty cycle a working laundry actually runs.
- Multi-station steam supply
- Automatic water feed
- Safety pressure controls
- Built for continuous operation
Professional irons and mini steam generators
Gravity-feed irons and compact steam systems where a plant boiler is not justified by the floor space or the throughput.
Accessories and spare parts
Elements, valves, hoses and the wear parts a steam system consumes, held locally. Note that water quality decides how long a generator lasts, so ask about treatment before it is installed.

Sizing a steam supply?
Tell us how many pressing stations it has to feed and what else is on the line. Undersizing the boiler is the most expensive mistake on a finishing floor.
Answers before you enquire
- How do I size a steam generator?
- By the number of pressing stations it has to feed at once, and by what else is on the line. Undersizing the boiler is the most expensive mistake on a finishing floor, because everything downstream then runs short of steam at the moment it is busiest. Tell us the stations and we will size it.
- Do I need a plant boiler, or will a mini generator do?
- A compact steam system is enough where the floor space or the throughput does not justify a plant boiler — a small dry cleaner, or a single pressing station. Multi-station supply needs an industrial generator with automatic water feed and safety pressure controls.
- Does water quality matter?
- It decides how long the generator lasts. Ask about treatment before the machine is installed rather than after scale has taken the element — it is a cheap conversation at the right time and an expensive one at the wrong one.
