The SA23 dries and irons coats, jackets, vests, sweatshirts and shirts automatically - simultaneously, in a single operation. A damp garment straight from the washing machine is placed on the adjustable mannequin form; warm air inflates and stretches the fabric while 5-bar steam penetrates and removes creases. The result is a finished, dry garment without an iron or ironing board. 9kW boiler, 15 programmes, 12 kg/h steam output and a 10-litre automatic refill system for continuous commercial operation.
Every Garment Finishing Operation Is DifferentThe SA23 is available with various options and is often specified as part of a complete garment finishing line. Before ordering, call our specialists on 0800 955 0245 to discuss your garments, production volumes and installation requirements.

Key Features
Simultaneous Drying & Ironing
A damp garment from the washing machine is placed on the mannequin. The blower inflates the fabric; 5-bar steam penetrates and relaxes the fibres; warm air simultaneously dries. The garment comes off the mannequin finished and dry in a single automated cycle - no iron, no ironing board, no manual pressing.
Adjustable Shoulder Form
The mannequin form adjusts at the shoulders to accommodate different garment sizes - from slim-fit shirts through to large coats and heavy workwear. The 26.5 × 45.5cm chest form provides a stable, consistent shape during the cycle.
9kW Boiler & 12 kg/h Output
The 9kW boiler drives 12 kg of steam per hour - the output required to handle a continuous commercial workload. At 5 bar, steam penetrates heavy outerwear fabrics that would take multiple passes with a standard iron. The 2kW superheater ensures steam is delivered at the correct temperature throughout the cycle.
10L Auto-Refill Boiler
The 10-litre boiler refills automatically, maintaining continuous steam supply without operator intervention. No manual top-ups, no pausing mid-session - the system manages its own water supply to keep production running throughout the working day.
15 Programmable Cycles
The electronic control card stores 15 programmes, each configurable for different garment types, fabric weights and finishing requirements. Operators select the correct programme for the garment - the machine handles the rest consistently, cycle after cycle.
Gentle on Fabrics
The mannequin finishes garments at around 55°C - far lower than a hand iron at up to 180°C. Lower temperatures mean less stress on fibres, longer garment life and reduced risk of scorching, shiny reflections or damage to delicate decorative details and buttons.
Why Invest in a Steam Mannequin?
Reduce Labour Costs
One operator can finish significantly more garments than traditional hand ironing, reducing labour while improving consistency.
Consistent Results
Every programme delivers the same finish regardless of the operator, helping maintain professional presentation standards.
Lower Risk of Fabric Damage
Steam and warm air finish garments at much lower temperatures than a conventional iron, reducing shine, scorching and fibre stress.
Higher Throughput
While one garment is finishing automatically, staff can prepare the next item, increasing productivity throughout the working day.
Typical Applications
The Aeolus SA23 is widely used by commercial garment finishing operations where speed, consistency and presentation are critical.

How the SA23 Works
The garment is placed on the mannequin form after the washing machine spin cycle - or after a short tumble on a low-heat “easy iron” setting that leaves the fabric damp rather than dry. The operator places the garment, sets the programme, and the machine handles the rest.
Inside the cycle, the blower inflates the garment so the fabric hangs in its natural position. Steam enters under pressure, penetrating the fibres and releasing creases simultaneously. Warm air circulates through the garment and dries it. Three to four operations is typically all an operator needs to become proficient. For a commercial laundry or hotel handling coats, jackets and outerwear in volume, the SA23 replaces hours of manual pressing with an automated, repeatable process.

for professional ironing and laundry businesses.
It is designed for finishing damp coats, jackets, blazers, vests, shirts, blouses, sweatshirts, knitwear, uniforms and workwear. It is particularly suited to commercial laundries, dry cleaners, hotels, uniform providers, clothing retailers and theatre costume departments that need repeatable presentation for shaped upper-body garments rather than flat linen.
Yes, the 9 kW boiler, 12 kg/h steam output and 10-litre automatic-refill system are specified for continuous commercial operation. The automatic refill reduces interruptions for manual water top-ups, while operators can prepare the next garment during a finishing cycle. It is a practical option where regular volumes of jackets, coats or uniforms would otherwise require manual pressing.
The operator places a damp garment on the adjustable mannequin form and selects an appropriate programme. A blower inflates the garment to support its natural shape, 5-bar steam relaxes creases within the fibres, and warm air dries the fabric in the same cycle. This combines drying and garment finishing without relying on an ironing board or repeated hand-ironing passes.
The machine requires a 400V + N, 50 Hz, three-phase electrical supply, so buyers should confirm this is available at the installation site before ordering. Its overall dimensions are 58 × 144 × 160 cm and it weighs 135 kg, allowing space for operation and access to be planned. Discuss water-supply arrangements and installation requirements with a specialist before purchase.
The adjustable shoulder opening allows the mannequin form to accommodate different garment sizes, from slimmer shirts to larger coats and workwear. Its electronic control panel provides 15 programmable cycles, enabling settings to be selected for varying garment types, fabric weights and finishing requirements. The stated operating process is straightforward, with operators typically becoming proficient after three to four operations.
