Manufacture of Pressing Irons

Abstract

The electric iron described here (of 220 V, 1200 W, 50 Hz) is lightweight and of a design that guarantees good functioning. It is controlled by a thermostat and inside rating enables appropriate temperature setting selection. Electric heater is sealed to the aluminium support. This ensures direct contact, efficient transfer of heat and fast achievement of wanted temperature as well as saving of energy. The pilot light goes out when the set temperature is reached. The temperature control maintains the soleplate temperature within the required limits. The soleplate is made of special aluminium alloy with good heat conductivity. The uniform heat distribution permits confortable ironing of all fabrics both natural and synthetic. The iron handle is made of high quality polymer of various colours and in two designs: with open handle and with closed handle. The handgrip is easy to hold and the smoothly polished soleplate slides easily over the fabric. The design permits ironing of narrow sleeves and small pockets.
