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.
