Trough mangles, which are used in commercial laundries, are intended to have the highest possible mangle performance. The mangle performance of known trough mangles is increased by a plurality of mangle rolls (10) being arranged one after another. Such a trough mangle then has two or else a still greater number of mangle rolls (10). Trough mangles of this type require the pieces of laundry to be transferred from one mangle roll (10) to the other. In practice, this often leads to operating problems. The invention provides a powerful trough mangle, by the mangle roll (10) having a diameter that is enlarged as compared with conventional trough mangles. Surprisingly, it has been shown that a trough mangle with only one mangle roll (10) enlarged in diameter leads to a disproportionate increase in the mangling performance.
A trough mangle having preferably a mangle roll (10) that can be driven so as to revolve and a flexible mangle trough (12) associated with the mangle roll, wherein the mangle roll (10) has a diameter which is grater than 1600 mm.
A trough mangle having preferably a mangle roll (10) that can be driven so as to revolve and a flexible mangle trough (12) associated with the mangle roll (10), wherein a drive side (33) of the mangle roll (10) is assigned a drive (32), and the drive (32) carries the mangle roll (10) on the drive side (33).
A trough mangle having at least one mangle roll (10) that can be driven so as to revolve and a flexible mangle trough (12) associated with the mangle roll (10), wherein a drive (32) of the mangle roll (10) has a gearbox which is designed as an epicyclic gearbox, an angled epicyclic gearbox (36), a cyclo gearbox or a harmonic drive gearbox.
A trough mangle having at least one mangle roll (10) that can be driven so as to revolve and a flexible mangle trough (12) associated with the mangle roll (10), wherein, on the drive side (33) and on the non-driven side (34) opposite the latter, the mangle roll (10) is connected to a frame (15) such that it can pivot, in each case via a lever mechanism (30, 31).
A trough mangle having in particular a mangle roll (10) that can be driven so as to revolve and a flexible mangle trough (12) associated with the mangle roll (10), wherein the resilient mangle trough (12) is formed of trough sections connected to one another.
A trough mangle having in particular a mangle roll (10) that can be driven so as to revolve and a flexible mangle trough (12) associated with the mangle roll (10), wherein the mangle roll (10) has a wrapping which has a thickness between 6 and 25 mm.
