VTP Series Triple Pass Tunnel Finishers

The unique design of the VTP Series allows for better containment of steam in the conditioning chamber as well as less atmospheric draw from outside the tunnel. This provides greater heat transfer for higher evaporation rates which increases production while producing a higher quality finish than standard methods of garment finishing.

For the last 30 years, you have had two choices in tunnel finishers: straight through and U-turn. The new VTP Series is a leap forward in the evolution of garment finishing technology. This radical design provides higher production rates, increased quality of finish and greater energy efficiency, all the while maintaining the high standards of workmanship, quality components and long life you expect from a Leonard tunnel.

As the leading innovators in tunnel finisher design and construction, Leonard Automatics, Inc., works hard to continually improve our products. It is our goal to provide you with equipment made from the highest quality materials and components so you can be assured the equipment you purchase will provide years of trouble-free service. Our most recent advancement is possibly our most significant. The new triple pass (patent pending) design increases heat within the tunnel, reduces energy consumption and produces a higher quality finish. And because our patented Simple Addition modularity allows your tunnel to grow as your business does, the Triple Pass could be the last tunnel you ever buy. Just like the rest of our tunnels, the VTP Series is constructed with stainless steel panels to provide the high level of corrosion resistance needed for continued operation in the extreme environment of an industrial laundry.

“S-Turn” Technology

The finishing of a garment starts in the steam chamber. The design of our steam header creates a higher velocity of steam that carries more energy and achieves proper finishing temperature faster. The incorporation of an “S-Turn” causes the garments to fan open exposing their centers to direct steam injection. More steam heat is delivered to the garment resulting in better temperature rise without increasing floor space requirements. Steam tubes are configured to fully surround the garment with steam.

PLC Control System

Leonard Automatics is proud to feature the PLC Interface Control Center on the VTP Series of products. The touch screen allows for intuitive and straight forward access to all tunnel operational controls. Features include automated troubleshooting, maintenance schedules, alarm logs, PM schedule, runtime history and much more. Total tunnel control is now at your fingertips.

Real Data

Shown is actual temperature data* taken from within a VTP-24 GH in full production. Probes recorded the air temperature above the garment (RED), the garment temperature inside the shirt pocket (GREEN) and inside the tail of the shirt (BLUE), and the air temperature 6 inches below the garment (BLACK). The temperature differential between the red and black lines shows that moisture is being removed through evaporation. As the four lines converge, the garment is dry and the finishing is complete. *Data reflects extracted pants being processed.
