Abstract
Providing a boiler in the interior of the mangle body, for heating up a gas in particular by an infrared radiant heater, which heats up a heat transfer medium in the cavity of a double-walled shell of the mangle body. The pressing surface of the mangle body can be heated up effectively and in a targeted manner by this heat transfer medium in the cavity of the double-walled shell of the mangle. Belt mangles are known, in the case of which a circumferentially driven mangling belt runs along the outside of the stationary mangle body, which mangling belt transports the laundry items to be mangled on the smooth pressing surface of the mangle body by entrainment. The heating of the pressing surface has been shown to be ineffective in the case of these known belt mangles.
Claims20
A device for mangling laundry items, comprising:
- at least one stationary mangle body (11), the outer shell surface of which forms a heatable pressing surface (12);
- and
- at least one circumferentially drivable mangling belt (16) assigned to the at least one mangle body (11), by which mangling belt (16) the laundry items can be moved along on the outer pressing surface (12) of the at least one mangle body (11),
- wherein the at least one mangle body (11) has an interior and is formed to be double-walled with at least one cavity (15) between the walls, a heat transfer medium is located in the at least one cavity (15), and/or at least one heating device for heating the heat transfer medium in the cavity (15) is arranged entirely or at least partially in the interior of the at least one mangle body (11).
