Standard Features

Unique SizeWise™ heated bucks accommodate the widest size range available including mens shirts and ladies blouses.
The unique design also finishes the side seams.
The only shirt system available with interchangeable bucks to accommodate all body sizes and styles.
Presses front, side, back and sleeves simultaneously with a hard press on the body, live steam and air blowing in the sleeves and preheated room air delivered through porous air bags for finishing of yoke and sides to give the finest finish available - leaving no iron marks or wrinkles.
Shirt holding vacuum and the heated air blowing system are built into the machine eliminating the need for additional support machinery.
The special head design yields constant temperature across the entire head and also permits the air bags on the SizeWise™ bucks to expand fully to conform to the shirt which removes wrinkles before the pressing begins resulting in a crease-free yoke, prefect sides and no placket bowing. The special design of the heads and bucks also allows the shirts to lay naturally reducing buckling meaning better quality, faster dressing and increased production.
All that is required is a standard 3-phase electrical connection and a steam and air connection

Optional Equipment for DBR-BVG and DBC-VG

Automatic unloader and conveyor system

Method of Pressing Operation

All shirt collars and cuffs are finished on the ALC-8 Collar/Cuff press first.
The operator loads the body form and in the case of the DBR-BVG or SBC-BVG sets the sleeve in the sleeve holders. The machine is activated and the microprocessor controls all functions. (The DBC-VG requires an extra operation – and labor – of sleeve pressing on a CSL Sleever prior to loading the body press.)
The Hoffman Automated Unload and Transport System incorporates a robotic unloader which aligns itself to the shirt during the pressing process. Once the cycle is completed the unloader lifts the shirt off the buck and deposits it on a transfer frame on the transport conveyor. The unloader returns to the home position during the next pressing cycle and aligns itself for the next shirt.

The expandable Transport Conveyor System is used for buttoning, collar striping and preparation for folding. After the preparation, the conveyor moves the shirts to the folding stations where they are either folded, or for GOH a hanger is inserted, after which the garment then goes to a central bagging area.
