Flatbed Ironing Tester

The Flatbed Ironing Tester is a laboratory-grade instrument designed to simulate real-world ironing conditions for evaluating fabric thermal performance. It provides precise assessment of crease recovery, heat resistance, dimensional stability, shrinkage behavior, and surface appearance changes. Ideal for quality control, production inspection, and textile R&D, it delivers consistent, repeatable, and standard-compliant test results.

Application

Suitable for a wide range of textile and material evaluations, including:

Apparel fabrics (cotton, polyester, wool, nylon, spandex, blends)

Home textiles (bedding, upholstery, curtains, table linens)

Industrial fabrics (automotive interiors, filtration materials, protective garments)

Functional textiles (FR fabrics, coated fabrics, waterproof/breathable laminates)

Laminated materials (PU/PVC synthetic leather, soft-touch coatings, printed laminates)

Finished fabrics requiring wrinkle-resistant, shrink-resistant, or heat-set performance

Smart and sensitive textiles requiring controlled thermal tests

QC laboratories, inspection institutes, textile mills, and educational institutions

Forensic analysis of heat-damaged textiles and garment care research

Test Procedures

Prepare the fabric sample according to required standards.

Set temperature, pressure, and test time via touchscreen.

Select test mode: crease recovery, shrinkage, heat-setting, or custom program.

Place the specimen on the heating plate and close the pressing surface.

Start the automatic test cycle.

Allow the unit to cool after completion.

Remove sample and evaluate its physical changes.

Export test data if required.

Maintenance Information

Daily Maintenance

Clean the platform after each test.

Verify smooth mechanical movement of the pressing plate.

Weekly Maintenance

Inspect temperature stability using a reference thermometer.

Check electrical grounding and safety indicators.

Monthly Maintenance

Calibrate temperature and pressure systems.

Clean intake vents and cooling channels.

Safety Notes

Avoid touching heated components without protective gloves.

Never operate above the maximum safe temperature (310 °C).

Replace worn cables or fuses immediately.
