YH Series — Consistent Ironing Quality at Maximum Production Speed
The HOZO YH Series flatwork ironer is engineered for laundry operations that demand premium press quality at high throughput. Using heavy-duty thick heating drums — 2 to 3 times thicker than standard Y Series rollers — the YH Series maintains stable surface temperature even when processing wet linen at full speed.
Why Thicker Drums Matter
In a standard thin-wall drum (4 mm), wet linen absorbs surface heat faster than the drum can replenish it. At high production speeds, drum temperature drops — and ironing quality drops with it. The YH Series solves this with drums that store substantially more thermal energy: surface temperature stays consistent from the first sheet to the last, regardless of line speed.
Drum Specifications by Heating Type
| Heating Type | Y Series (Standard) | YH Series (Heavy-Duty) |
|---|---|---|
| Steam | 4 mm stainless steel | 8 mm stainless steel / 12 mm carbon steel |
| Gas (LPG/NG) | 5 mm stainless steel | 10 mm carbon steel |
| Electric | 3.5 mm stainless steel | Y Series only |
YH Series vs S-Type High-Speed Ironers
S-type multi-pass ironers achieve high speed through complex internal routing. The HOZO YH Series takes a different approach: thicker drums with greater thermal mass, delivering quality through physics rather than mechanical complexity.
- Simpler structure — straight-through design with fewer moving parts
- Lower maintenance costs — fewer service points, longer maintenance intervals
- Lower failure rate — simple mechanics mean fewer breakdowns
- Easy after-sales support — most issues resolved with basic remote guidance, no specialized service team required on-site
