Why The Chest Ironer Padding Have Pressure Marks ?

Those pressure marks much affecting the ironing performance, let's analyze and finds out the reason step by step.

1. Guide tapes tied too tightly

Theoretically, this could be caused by guide tapes that are tied too tightly. However, loosening the tapes didn't show any obvious improvement.

2. Acceleration pulleys causing tension

Here is a deeper analysis, such obvious marks is was definitely happened on pressure, so we analyzed by this approach.

During operation, another component that can put tension on the guide tapes is the acceleration pulleys on top. Each guide tape passes through a small grooved pulley up there. If the pulleys are damaged or aging and experience high resistance, it would also be one of the reasons causing the guide tapes to tension and tighten up.

After full lubrication and replacement, and adjusting all guide tapes to an even and moderate tension, the issue has been successfully resolved.

3. Slow feeding causes empty running

When the tension increased, the worker feeding the linens on ironer too slowly, leaving long gaps between each piece. Running empty for too long causes the guide tapes to harden under high temperatures, which is also one of the reasons for the tape marks.

4. Ironing felt compacted

The ironing felt has been compacted and lost its elasticity. As the guide tapes repeatedly squeeze the exact same place on ironing felt, resulted to the marks. So we highly suggesting to replace a new one ironer padding.
