Rigid-Chest Design Provides Unmatched Finishing Results
The PSN-80 features a rigid chest to ensure even, consistent finishing. The rigid chest features a perfectly polished ironing surface and large flow passages. Heated thermal fluid or steam moves through an intelligently designed coil system and into the large flow passages between two, thick polished plates of steel. The large size of the passages ensures constant and even heat circulation—translating into an even and consistent linen finish and helping to prevent clogs and blockages in thermal fluid heated models.
Conversely, flexible chest ironers feature small flow passage sections of just 3mm. Because the passages are so small, heat circulation is restricted– resulting in a loss of heat energy, uneven temperature distribution and poor-quality finishing results.
Engineered for Flexibility & Efficiency
The PSN-80 offers up to three-roll operation to meet specific production needs. With the addition of each roll, production capacity increases allowing goods to move across the machine's heated bed at greater speeds—drying and ironing goods faster. Compatible with most feeding, folding and stacking equipment, the PSN-80 can significantly improve finishing productivity and decrease energy and labor costs.
Easy to Use Programmable Control with AutoSpeed
The Microprocessor Control allows programmability to perfectly adapt the ironer to meet specific needs. The control features AutoSpeed®, an exclusive capability that automatically adapts cylinder speed according to linen type and moisture content. The control also offers a manual mode operation, an operation mode with programmed speeds, an operation mode for ribbon replacement and a graphic display of cylinder speed and chest temperature. The Quick-Check Service package, standard on the PSN-80 Control, helps users diagnose maintenance and service needs from the microprocessor control. Electrical components, temperature actuators, mechanical functions and safety checks can be performed from the control.
Quiet, Cool, Clean Operation
Providing a clean, cool and quiet working environment is important. PSN-80 Ironers help reduce unwanted laundry room noise and heat because exhaust motors, fanx and vents are located away from operators, to the rear of the units. And, during the ironing process, residual lints is pulled through a manifold and filtered through a heavy-duty screen. Thisi process prevents lint from re-depositing on linens or excapting into the laundry room where it can clog vent ducts and pollute the air.
Safe Operation
Designed to be operator friendly and safe to use, the PSN-80 Ironer features critical safety features to prevent accidents. A fixed tray for item feeding ensures operators are safe distance from the machine. Fixed safety guards and safety handrails also prevent mishaps. Also standard on the ironer, are an emergency stop button, a cool-down cycle if a temperature of more than 158 degrees is detected, an electrical circuit safeguard to protect the machine and the user against external faults, an independent switch disconnect to simplify service and maintenance, and a had guard at the feeding are to prevent accidents.
Proven Reliable & Durable
Girbau Industrial PSN-80 Ironers are built for longevity, as is evident in Girbau Industrial's industry-best 3/5 year limited factory warranty. The ironer's frame is constructed of high-quality carbon steel. An easy-to-clean and durable epoxy finish further protects the ironer from outside moisture and resulting corrosion.
Selecting the Right Heat Source for Your Application
The PSN-80 in Natural Gas, Thermal Fluid & Steam
PSN-80 Natural Gas
The natural gas PSN-80 Flatwork Ironer incorporates an integrated boiler that uses gas to heat on board thermal fluid. Therefore, the PSN-80 in natural gas does not require external boilers like the steam and thermal fluid models—cutting installation and maintenance costs and minimizing heat loss. By utilizing an integrated boiler, the PSN-80 in natural gas can cut energy consumption by as much as 15 percent when compared to ironers reliant on external boiler systems.
Unlike many competitor gas ironers, the gas boiler on the PSN-80 is rear-mounted to accommodate a larger boiler and boiler flame without concern for the flame touching the coil. If the flame were to come in contact with the coil, thermal fluid cracking can occur, causing uneven heat distribution. This rear-mounted boiler design creates greater heat output using less energy than models with boilers located underneath the ironer. Bottom-mounted boilers limit the diameter of the combustion chamber and require smaller flames to ensure the flame doesn't come into contact with the coil. The result is typically only 70-percent efficiency. With a rear-mounted boiler, two fume outlets and four oil circuits, the PSN-80 boasts an enviable 90-percent efficiency!
Steam- and Thermal Fluid-Heated PSN-80 Ironers
The PSN-80 steam and thermal fluid ironers work just like the natural gas model, except they require external heat sources. The natural gas model has an internal boiler, while the steam and thermal fluid models require an external steam system or thermal fluid heater. All three models deliver a consistent, high-quality finish and feature the same features and programmability.
