Commercial Flatwork Ironers UK
A flatwork ironer - also called a rotary ironer or cylinder ironer - is a commercial machine designed to iron flat linen at high speed. Rather than pressing items by hand, flatwork ironers feed sheets, pillowcases, duvet covers, tablecloths, and napkins through heated rollers that iron and dry them in a single pass.
The result: consistent, professional results in a fraction of the time it would take any hand-ironing team to achieve.
Who Uses Flatwork Ironers?
Hotels
Processing bed linen, duvet covers, pillowcases, and table dressing at volume. A flatwork ironer is the standard solution in any hotel laundry handling more than 20 rooms.
Care Homes
Sheets, pillowcases, resident clothing, and towels - processed quickly and consistently. Reduces staff time significantly versus hand ironing at scale.
Commercial Laundries
High-throughput flatwork processing for laundry service businesses handling linen for multiple clients. Output up to 60kg/hour on larger models.
Schools & Universities
Boarding schools and institutions with on-premise laundry facilities processing dining linen, uniforms, and bedding for students.
Restaurants & Hospitality
Venues with high table linen turnover. A compact flatwork ironer dramatically reduces the labour required to keep tablecloths and napkins guest-ready.
Sports Clubs & Spas
Towels, robes, and treatment linen processed in-house. A flatwork ironer removes the need to outsource finishing and gives consistent results on every cycle.
