RIPON, WI — Ajax has introduced new features on its drycleaning and laundry presses designed to improve durability and operator ergonomics.

The size of the activation buttons has been increased to make the presses easier to operate while anodized aluminum construction improves long-term reliability.

The new air reservoir improves the performance of the vacuum system and reduces the potential for service calls. New universal mounting brackets make upgrading to optional features, such as sleeve boards, an iron support or manual sprays, quick and easy.

In addition to these new features, Ajax laundry and drycleaning presses offer stainless steel tables with a smooth finish that reduces damage due to snagged clothes, and resists stains and corrosion.

Other standard features on all Ajax laundry and drycleaning presses include:

• Separate air cylinders that perform specialized functions, one closing the head and the other providing the extra pressing pressure needed for laundered items.

• Ergonomic controls positioned to help reduce fatigue and increase productivity.

• Channelized steam that uniformly heats the head and buck (for laundry presses), eliminates cold spots and damp padding normally associated with rough dry.

• Chrome plated steel heads are highly polished to eliminate impurity build-up.

• Standard air filters and regulator/lubricators extend the air system component life while minimizing maintenance.

• The flexible, universal head mounting pivot assures all garments receive even pressure over the entire buck surface.
