FlexFeed LP2 two station flatwork feeder
The FlexFeed LP2 two station flatwork feeder, is a versatile feeder for both large and small flatwork and would suit small to mid-sized laundries, with a wide variety of linen types, looking to boost ironer productivity with minimal labour.
The machine has two feeding / buffer stations, where operators can clip-up two corners of a piece. The piece remains in the clips whilst the operator prepares the next item. A set of spreading clamps pick up the piece from the clips, spread it across the width of the machine and feed it onto the feed-bands with nice square edges helped by a combination of cutting edge servo-control and variable powered suction.

- Two people can feed via the feeding / buffer stations. One operator per station. Circa 300 pieces per station.
