Mini Tunnel
The BMM Weston Mini Tunnel Finisher is a ruggedly constructed, simple to operate, compact, hot air/steam finishing tunnel that is ideal for:
- Drying and finishing synthetics and synthetic/cotton garments for hospitals, small commercial and on premise laundries.
- Conditioning dry-cleaned garments prior to pressing or ironing
- Reconditioning new garments supplied to clothing companies prior to distribution
The Mini Tunnel offers:-
- High quality conditioning and finishing.
- High performance for small floor area.
- Economic use of energy.
- Flexible, simple operation.
- Easy installation.
- Simple to service and maintain.
- Long commercial life.
High quality conditioning and finishing is ensured by combining a variable steam spray with air circulation.
High performance from a small floor area. For only 3.2 square meters of floor space (including loading and exit/garment storage rails) outputs of up to 75 garments per hour can be achieved, depending on steampressure and work classification, when finishing garments with moisture content of 30% - 35%.
Economic use of energy is achieved by a combination of:
- The re-circulation of up to 85% of the conditioned air.
- Balanced air circulation that minimises heat loass through the entrance/exit.
- All-round high quality insulation
- Autmatic shutdown during breaks or interruptions in work flow (optional extra).
