Automatic Linen Feeders & Spreaders for Ironing Lines

Automate the front end of your ironing line with precision feeding and spreading.

Automatic Linen Spreading · Labor-Saving Clamp Technology

  • Air-pressure assist feeding for smooth, wrinkle-free linen input (GSB Series)
  • Single-station clamp spreader — one operator replaces two, 50% labor reduction
  • Triple-station clamp spreader — three operators load simultaneously, throughput
  • Automatic edge detection and precision alignment for every linen piece
  • Speed-matched integration with all HOZO Y and YH Series flatwork ironers
  • Compatible working widths from 1,200 to 3,300 mm
  • Scalable upgrade path: manual → air-pressure → single clamp → triple clamp

From Manual Feeding to Fully Automatic Spreading

GSB Series — Air-Pressure Assist Feeder
The entry-level solution. Two operators spread the linen manually at the feeding station. Air-pressure assists pull the fabric flat and feed it smoothly into the ironer. Reliable, cost-effective, compatible with all HOZO ironer working widths from 1,200 to 3,300 mm.

Single-Station Clamp Spreader
The labor-saving upgrade. One operator hangs the linen onto mechanical clamps — the machine grips, spreads, and feeds automatically. Eliminates the need for a second operator, cutting labor cost by 50% at the feeding station.

Triple-Station Clamp Spreader
The high-throughput solution. Three operators load linen simultaneously onto separate clamp stations. The machine automatically sequences the pieces and feeds them one by one into the ironer at maximum speed. Designed for central laundry plants processing 2,000+ kg/day.

Precision Alignment

Automatic edge detection and clamp alignment ensure each linen piece enters the flatwork ironer perfectly positioned, eliminating skewed feeding and reducing rework rates.

Scalable Upgrade Path

Start with a GSB air-pressure feeder and upgrade to a single or triple-station clamp spreader as your volume grows. No need to replace your ironer or folder — all feeders connect to the same ironing line.

Ergonomic Operator Design

Front-feeding workstation with adjustable height and smooth surfaces reduces physical strain during extended shifts.

Speed-Matched Integration

Feeding speed automatically synchronizes with the connected ironer, preventing jams and ensuring continuous operation.

Linen Feeder & Spreader Applications

Hotels & Hospitality

Speed up bed sheet and tablecloth feeding for high-volume hotel laundry. Automatic alignment eliminates manual spreading, reducing operator fatigue and improving throughput consistency.

Central Laundry Plants

Essential for high-volume operations processing linen from multiple clients. Multi-station spreading keeps up with 5–6 roll ironers at maximum speed, preventing input bottlenecks.

Hospitals & Healthcare

Consistent feeding of surgical drapes, patient bedding, and clinical linen into the ironing line. Automated spreading reduces human contact with freshly washed linen, supporting hygiene protocols.

Linen Rental Services

High-speed feeding and spreading for commercial linen services processing thousands of pieces daily. Precision alignment and clamp-type spreading reduce jams and rework.

The linen feeder is the critical first stage of any ironing line. Without proper feeding, even the best ironer cannot deliver consistent results. HOZO offers the widest range of feeding solutions — from the simple GSB air-pressure feeder to the fully automatic triple-station clamp spreader.

FAQ — HOZO Linen Feeders & Spreaders

What is the difference between a feeder and a spreader?

In industrial laundry, the terms overlap. A feeder sends linen into the ironer. A spreader opens and unfolds the linen before feeding. HOZO GSB feeder uses air-pressure to flatten linen (operators spread manually). The clamp-type spreader automates the spreading step with mechanical grips.

How does the clamp-type spreader reduce labor?

The GSB feeder requires 2 operators. The single-station clamp spreader needs only 1 (50% labor reduction). The triple-station lets 3 operators load simultaneously for 3x throughput.

Single-station vs triple-station — which do I need?

Single-station for mid-size operations looking to reduce headcount. Triple-station for high-volume central laundry plants needing maximum throughput from the feeding stage.

Can feeders work with non-HOZO ironers?

Optimized for HOZO Y and YH Series ironers but adaptable to third-party equipment. Contact us for compatibility assessment.

How many operators are needed?

GSB: 2 operators. Single-station spreader: 1 operator. Triple-station: 3 operators loading simultaneously.

What maintenance is required?

Daily cleaning of conveyor surfaces and clamp mechanisms. Weekly inspection of alignment sensors. No specialized tools required.
