Info

It is important that the type of clothing you choose is suitable for your press. For example, in the case of automatic presses with their own boilers, or on any press with poor vacuum or steam response, the porosity of the clothing can be critical. In view of this we recommend that you seek the advice of your supplier if you are thinking of changing. Remember, price is not the most important consideration. The methods of clothing laundry and dry-cleaning presses (from the base outwards) can be summarised as follows: Bottom buck • Copper gauze • Knitted cotton padding (KCP) or synthetic alternative • Canton flannel or synthetic alternative • Outer cover Alternatives • Composite pad — a single pad containing the main elements of press clothing. In some cases an outer cover will be required • Synthetic foam pad (thick) Canton flannel or synthetic alternative outer cover • Wire/Nomex gauze • Canton flannel or synthetic alternative synthetic foam pad (thin) • Outer cover 7.24 GC8N 22 — Laundry Operations Level 2
Traditional press clothing — in the correct order — is as follows: Top buck • As for bottom buck above Alternatives • ‘Fabric safe’ ray plate • Wire/Gauze • Canton flannel or synthetic alternative • Outer cover Re-clothing presses Nylon press cover Canton (Flannel) Knitted cotton padding (KCP) Copper gauze When the clothing on presses is replaced, the pressure must be released to accommodate the additional bulk/thickness of the new clothing. This is particularly important in the case of natural materials, which initially may undergo substantial reduction in thickness. You may see presser operatives who, after having clothed a press, apply top and bottom steam and stand on the centre pedal in an attempt to lock the head. This practice causes premature consolidation of the clothing, and may well reduce its useful working life considerably. Some types of clothing — particularly the natural type — will reduce in thickness very quickly, resulting in the need to increase the locking pressure progressively throughout the first working day. Take care when you are using springs — don’t leave exposed, sharp ends which will catch clothing and skin! GC8N 22 — Laundry Operations Level 2 7.25
