The Leonard SC-34 steam cabinet is perfect for facilities needing to remove wrinkles and refresh garments or other products while on a hanger quickly and efficiently. A perfect fit for dry cleaners, retail distribution centers, department stores or anywhere there is a need to remove wrinkles simply, the SC-34 can easily reach production rates in excess of 100 garments per hour.
Straight Through Tunnel Finisher
Available in Gas or Steam Models
As the leading innovators in tunnel finisher design and construction, we work hard to continually improve our products. It is the goal of Leonard Automatics to provide you with equipment made from the highest quality materials, so you can be assured the equipment you purchase will provide years of trouble-free service.
The IM Series tunnel finishers are ideal for dry cleaners, formal wear, retail distribution centers, hospitals, stock rooms, hotels, institutional laundries and garment manufacturers; wherever space is an important consideration.
Using the same front to back configuration as our larger units (the IS and V Series tunnel finishers), the IM Series is able to process more garments while still providing more processing dwell time resulting in the best quality for its size.
S-Turn Garment Finisher
Available in Gas or Steam Models
Several design features have been combined to form the steam zone for the IS Series finisher. This new “S-Turn” design provides superior quality in the same footprint of previous designs. Executing two back-to-back 90 degree turns, the garments fan open exposing their centers to direct steam injection. The result is deeper penetration of steam to the center of the garment and better saturation of the fibers to facilitate the finishing process.
Patented Modular U-Turn Garment Finisher
With the patented modularity of the V Series tunnel finishers, you will never have to worry about your production need exceeding your tunnel’s output. Leonard Automatics’ Simple Addition add on module will keep your tunnels capabilities right in line with your growing business. This may be the last tunnel you ever buy.
The V Series U-turn tunnel finishers are the perfect fit for high volume industrial laundry applications. The U-turn configuration allows for higher production within a relatively small footprint while containing the heat and controlling the airflow more efficiently than in standard straight through models.
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 (patent pending) is a leap forward in the evolution of garment finishing technology. This radical new 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.
The Transporter Conveyor chain is the only chain offered to the laundry industry that is constructed of stainless steel. This construction not only provides greater pull strength, but also the corrosion resistance needed for long-term operation in a garment finisher.
Leonard Automatics has designed a cost effective, high production small piece folder that is easy to use, easy to maintain and gentle on the budget.
Performing a “French Fold” lateral fold and either two or three crossfolds, the LTF-2000 will fold anything from a bar mop to a bath towel (maximum piece size is 72″ x 33″).
Belt speeds of 180 feet per minute is more than enough to keep up with your fastest workers while a knife between pinch roll crossfolds ensures accurate folds and crisp lines.
This stacker beats any other method of handling small flatwork pieces. It accepts napkins, bib aprons, towels and other small pieces up to 22″ (559mm) wide, right from your ironer, then automatically stacks and counts them. Now one operator can handle up to 5,000 pieces per hour – and still have plenty of time for other chores. No more back-of-the-ironer bottlenecks! And no matter what method you’re using now, you can reduce your labor costs, increase your productivity, deliver more accurate counts, and boost your profits in the process.
Proper airflow and heat distribution are important components of the performance of your garment finisher. Clogged lint filters compromise these crucial factors resulting in uneven and inconsistent finished product.
The patented AutoFilter is designed to address this very issue. By automatically cleaning itself while the finisher is in operation, the airflow and temperature within the tunnel will be more consistent; therefore, the tunnel will provide better overall garment quality and production rates. Modular by design, the AutoFilter can be added to existing U-Turn style tunnel finishers.
A “cam style” auto-loader for pendant conveyor systems is an ideal addition anywhere high volume is needed. The auto-loader is fed by a ten foot stainless steel twist conveyor to provide a constant supply of garments. A proximity sensor detects the presence of a hanger on the cam which opens the solenoid to actuate an air cylinder feeding the garment to the conveyor.
Ideal for high production plants, this unit is able to maintain the production rates your facility requires. The loader comes with required sensors and can either be installed as a stand alone unit or as a fully integrated unit.
This auto-loader comes as a complete kit and installs quickly on any tunnel utilizing a twist style conveyor within the tunnel. A four foot stainless steel “buffer” zone can hold up to 50 garments at a time. Simply fill the loader with garments and walk away, freeing up the operator. Simple to maintain, the auto-loader requires little adjustment after the initial set-up.
The loader comes with a standard variable speed DC drive. The desired rotational speed of the auto-loader is simply dialed in at the control panel. The loader is able to maintain production rates up to 500 garments per hour. In the same manner, varied conveyor spacing is achievable as well.
A typical 110 volt electrical connection is all that is needed to power this add on.
Historically, tunnel finishers only measured air temperature. Now, with the addition of this option you have the power to actively monitor garment temperatures in real time while your tunnel is in operation. The tunnel will know when the garments within have reached a dangerously high temperature and will dial back the burner enough to keep the garments from being damaged and wasting energy.
A graph, rendered in real time, shows garment temperature trends giving the operator unprecedented control over the finishing process. Target garment temperatures can now be accurately controlled for the highest quality finish.
The optional Ethernet module provides a variety of functionality to the operator. Simplified reporting to the manager’s computer is handled over your internal LAN; as well as, real time monitoring of basic tunnel operating parameters. An HTML intranet based interface provides easy to use and understand data for managers.
Remote access capabilities are also a possibility with the Ethernet module. Troubleshooting has never been easier with a Leonard technician remotely logged into your tunnel for first hand exposure to your tunnel’s behavior. Our technician will be able to quickly and accurately diagnose your system and even reload a fresh program if necessary.
This real-time monitoring, reporting, and training system provides plant management with a simplified method of training new employees, increasing individual production, data tracking per employee, and customized reporting for data trending and analysis. The Pacer System provides a range of functionality that is sure to meet your individual needs.
Pacer is the last trainer you will need to hire!
Ergonomics have become increasingly important in recent years, and Leonard Automatics has met that need with our Slant Table and Hanger Stand workstations. By providing ergonomically correct workstations, your staff will experience less fatigue.
The Slant Table keeps garments within reach. As the worker picks a garment to hang, the pile slides down the table to keep a supply of product within reach at all times.
The Hanger Stand holds a hanger in place while the operator places the product on the hanger. With adjustable height and able to hold fifty hangers at a time, the Hanger Stand reduces excessive movement and increases production.
