Abstract (en)

A laundry drier and ironer consists of a rotary cylinder (10) made from stainless steel in one piece with no welds. The ratio of the cylinder's wall thickness to its diameter is between 1 : 180 and 1 : 280, and it rests on convex rollers (12) of a non-metallic material, e.g. a composition material containing glass fibres in a resin matrix, mounted on fixed axles (24) by means of ball bearings (26). The cylinder is made, for example, with an outer diameter of 325 mm and a thickness of 2.3 mm, and it is surrounded by a series of endless belts which press the articles to be ironed against its surface. Suitable for use in establishments with a substantial amount of laundry, e.g. hospitals, clinics, retirement homes or restaurants. The cylinder has a medium level of thermal inertia and changes shape in a completely homogenous way in response to temperature fluctuations.

Abstract (fr)

Dans une sécheuse repasseuse comprenant un cylindre de repassage (10) tournant et chauffé intérieurement, on utilise un cylindre de repassage en acier inoxydable fluotourné, réalisé d'un seul tenant et sans soudure. Ce cylindre (10) présente une épaisseur réduite. Il repose sur des galets (12) comprenant une armature de fibres de verre et une matrice de résine. Chaque galet (12) est monté sur un axe fixe (24) par l'intermédiaire d'un roulement à billes (26). <IMAGE>
