YH Series Heavy-Duty Thick Drum Flatwork Ironer

The our YH Series flatwork ironer features heavy-duty thick heating drums (8–12 mm) for consistent press quality at maximum production speed. 6-roll configuration, working width up to 3,300 mm, steam and gas heating available. Simpler structure and lower maintenance than S-type high-speed ironers.

Heavy-Duty Thick Drums: 8 mm stainless steel or 12 mm carbon steel drums store 2–3× more thermal energy than standard 4 mm drums, maintaining consistent surface temperature at high speed.

Simpler Than S-Type: Straight-through design with fewer moving parts — lower maintenance, lower failure rate, easier after-sales support.

6-Roll High Throughput: Maximum conveying speed up to 60 m/min with 6 heated rollers for large-volume flat linen processing.

Flexible Heating: Steam (0.4–0.6 MPa) or gas (LPG/natural gas) heating options to match your facility infrastructure.

Customizable Width: Standard 3,300 mm working width with options from 1,800 mm to 3,000 mm.

Why Thicker Drums Deliver Better Results

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. This is not a marketing claim — it is basic thermal physics: more mass = more stored energy = more stable temperature.

YH Series vs S-Type High-Speed Ironers

S-type multi-pass ironers achieve speed through complex internal routing. The YH Series takes a different approach: thicker drums with greater thermal mass.

  • Simpler structure — straight-through design, fewer moving parts
  • Lower maintenance — fewer service points, longer intervals
  • Lower failure rate — simple mechanics, fewer breakdowns
  • Easier after-sales — remote guidance resolves most issues, no specialized team needed on-site

Drum Specifications: Y Series vs YH Series

Heating Type Y Series (Standard) YH Series (Heavy-Duty)
Steam 4 mm stainless steel 8 mm stainless steel / 12 mm carbon steel
Gas 5 mm stainless steel 10 mm carbon steel
Electric 3.5 mm stainless steel Y Series only

Applications

  • Central laundry plants — processing 2,000+ kg/day of flat linen
  • Large hotel groups — 300+ room properties requiring consistent finish quality
  • Hospital laundry facilities — where ironing quality and hygiene compliance are critical
  • Linen rental operations — where consistent quality is a contractual requirement

The YH Series runs as one line with HOZO GSB Series linen feeders and ZD Series linen folders for a complete automated ironing line.

Specification and delivery: The YH thick-drum series runs a 10 to 12 mm heating cylinder wall against 4 mm on the standard Y range, which is what holds surface temperature during continuous high-speed work. YH is built for steam or gas heating; there is no electric-heated version in this series. Construction uses LS inverters, 304 stainless steel and DSC steam traps. CE certified against the Machinery, Low Voltage and EMC Directives, with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Steam and gas consumption depend on roller count and working width and are confirmed in writing at quotation. Lead time normally 10 to 15 days from order confirmation.

More Information

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
