Products - Chicago Finishing Equipment

For higher volume on-premise laundries with limited space, TRI-STAR all-in-one ironer finishing systems are offered in a choice of 32", 28" or 24" (800 mm, 700 mm, or 600 mm) ironing roll diameters. Each all-in-one unit has a built-in CHI controlled primary folder, crossfolder, and stacker that provides complete finishing of up to 800 pounds (360 kg) per hour in less than half the floorspace of a separate ironer and folder. Optional built-in O.P.L. spreader / feeder for large pieces and multi-lane folding for small pieces are also available.

After traveling through the dryer and ironer, linen moves directly into the primary fold section where one or two primary folds are performed by timed air pulses. The crossfold section and stacker / conveyor are identical to those found on the Skyline large piece folder series featuring inverter controlled self-contained motor drive for improved efficiency and reduced maintenance. Chicago’s exclusive air jet crossfolding eliminates the punch blade at the third crossfold. A neatly crossfolded package with hidden selvage edges is delivered to the left side receiving shelf or in adjustable height stacks on the optional automatic stacker with conveyor.

Our all in one ironer provides the same quality you’d expect from one of our separate units, but provides the space saving convenience of a combination machine.

TANDEM one piece laundry finishing units are perfect for a high quality hotel that cares about delivering finished linens but doesn't have the floor space for larger commercial finishing equipment. The Tandem combination units are offered in a choice of 16" (400 mm) or 20" (500 mm) roll diameters that offer compact drying, ironing, and built-in primary folding. Our equipment is specifically designed to bring automated finishing to a limited floor space, on-premise laundry that needs to produce 150 to 300 pounds (70 to 135 kg) of finished linen per hour, such as a boutique hotel.

If you are a small to medium sized hotel that wants to provide your guests with the elegance of finished linens, then the Tandem is a perfect choice in laundry equipment. Labor, floor space and utility savings, combined with a superior quality, and accurately folded finished linen product, the Tandem is an excellent choice for on-premise linen finishing.
