2. DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
Structure of the machine
The mod. PRESTIRO machine is composed of two independent modules: the machine and the automatic
stacker.
The automatic stacker comes electrically and pneumatically connected to the machine through particolar
connectors, but remains always mechanically independent.
The two modules are closed by panels realized in steel sheet, fixed to the structure of the machine. They
constitute a protecting barrier against the accidental contact with electrical and mechanical parts.
The machine is composed by switchboard, control panel, zone of vaporization and zone of aspiration.
The transfer of the pieces from a plan of job to the other is obtained through a polyester conveyor belt.
The automatic stacker is composed by a table equipped with a conveyor belt that it allows the reception
of the ironed piece and the creation of the package with an alternated longitudinal movement.
The machine receives the feeding from the electric power, the steam and the compressed air.
The electric power is used to feed the electrical parts and the motor drives.
The compressed air is used to drive the pneumatic actuators.
The vapor is used to pre-iron the pieces.
The machine is previewed in order to work with an only operator. The workplace is situated forehead
the machine; from this position all the necessary commands for the conduction of the machine
are accessibile in the control panel.
Working cycle
The working cycle is made:
- introduction of the pieces;
- vaporization;
- drying;
- stacking;
Introduction of the pieces.
The piece comes supported on the inferior tape of the machine and dragged from this to the inside.
During the introduction happens the opening of the edges of the piece by the opening roll.
Vaporization.
Immediately after the opening roll, it is situated vaporization zones that wet the piece. The vaporization
comes executed acting on the pedal-key mails on the front part of the machine. The emitted steam
amount is regulated from one grip handle situated on the left part of the zone of introduction of the
piece.

Drying.
In the immediately successive zone of vaporization, a zone of aspiration continuous is situated,
necessary in order to stabilize the piece.
Stacker.
Finished the aspiration zone, the pieces are automatically transferred to the automatic stacker.
3. DESCRIPTION OF THE USE OF THE MACHINE
3.1 Transport
The machine is constituted from two different groups:
- machine;
- automatic stacker.
For the transport, the two groups are separated.
The groups must opportunely be fixed on the plan of the truck in order to avoid movements and must be
wrapped with impermeable drop curtains.
For the transport by sea, if the machine is contained in a container, every group is packed in a cage of
transportable wood with transpallet, if instead the machine is in “groupage” every group is packed in a
wood box.
All the groups could be enliven by transpallet inserted under the base.
3.2 Installation
The customer must supply the predisposition of this systems:
- feeding electrical worker four phases;
- air supply;
- feeding steam.
The normal values of electrical power, frequency, pressure of the compressed air and the steam are in
the identification plate on control panel.
The steam and compressed air lines must also be equipped of lead of drainage of condense.
The machine must be installed in dry atmosphere. The support surface must be flat.
3.3 Starter
To start the machine:
- feed the machine, with the general electrical switch;
- open the feeding of the compressed air and control on the gauge that the pressure has a value
comprised between the 5 and the 6 bars;
- open the steam feeding and wait that the pressure of the steam catches up a value comprised between
the 3,5 and the 4 bars.
- carry out the drainage of condenses.

3.4 Operation
The machine is predisposed for the operation by a continuous automatic cycle.
The user must procede to the formulation of the cycle using touch screen panel.
- Opening Roll Speed: the user can regulated the speed of the opening roll;
- Conveyor Belt Speed: the user can regulated the speed of the conveyor belt.
- Steam Delay Time: delay of steam emission after the introduction of the piece.
- Cont. Fabric
- Air/Steam Mix: the user can choose for the vaporization only steam or air and steam mixed
(advised choice for not resistant to high temperatures spins).
- Opening Roll Rotation: the sense of spin of the opening roll is selected (internal or external
spin);
- Restart Stacker: every time the lamp is lightning, the user has to discharge the packing on the
stacker; after the discharge the user has to push this button to restart stacker and restart
normal work;
- Discharge Stacker: to discharge stacker before finishing the packing of pieces..
ATTENTION.
To start the work is necessary to press START push-button.
Everytime the stacker is full of pieces (the packing of pieces is finished), the RESTART
STACKER push-button lamp is lightning: the user has to put out the finished packing of pieces
from the stacker and press RESTART STACKER push-button to continue the work.
3.5 Emergency stop
The emergency stop is realized by the red push button on the control panel.
To restart the machine after a emergency stop, the user has be to press START push button.
3.6 Ordinary maintenance
ATTENTION
EVERY MAINTENANCE OPERATION MUST BE MADE AFTER EXCLUDING ALL THE
FEEDINGS (ELECTRICAL, PNEUMATIC AND STEAM).
Series of possible maintenance operations.
- Control of the bars of the stacker (weekly control).
- Control that the filter lubricator of the air does not have condenses, verifying the level water
of the glass situated in proximity of the drainage lever condenses. (montly control).
- Substitution of the conveyor belt (8-10 months).
