Jenson Laundry Machines

The batch transfer drying tumblers are designed for the fully automatic shaking as well as pre- and full drying of water extracted linen batches.

 

 

They can be operated either within a complete washing system along with water extraction presses or centri-fugal extractors, in the preset cycle of the tunnel washer or in systems with washer extractors. It is also possible to operate the dryers as an isolated application without a direct connection to other machines. The dryer design allows a space-saving mirror positioning of two -dryers, directly side by side. The dryers can be heated in different ways, steam or gas is available.

 

Particular attention was paid to reach the highest possible productivity at simultaneous lowest media consumption keeping a very low maintenance effort. The housing was sealed and insulated carefully in order to use the energy for the drying process in an optimal way. Loading, unloading and revision doors were designed with multiple layers in order to keep the heat losses as low as possible.

 

Each dryer has its own switch panel with PLC control and own power supply. The operation and programming of the dryer is carried out by a separate compound control that connects all dryers with each other. A panel PC with a colour touch screen operates and visualizes the dryers and their transport conveyors, if existing. The JENSEN service helpdesk can establish a remote maintenance of the dryer control via an integrated Ethernet interface. Dryers of an isolated application are equipped with a smaller graphic operating terminal. Each dryer disposes of 100 free programmable programs.

JENSEN revolutionized the market with the JENSEN TW5 tunnel washer, being the most versatile tunnel washer that reuses energy and water internally. The combination of processing the greatest variety of linen types while keeping consumption at extremely low levels is now tuned to perfection with QuickSoak, and EcoTune to reach higher levels of operational efficiency. This combination of efficiency and productivity has been continuously optimized in recent years through ongoing innovations developments, with the result that even today the JENSEN TW5 can lay claim to a leading position in the world market.

 

An important feature of the JENSEN TW5 is its highly efficient wash action and its reliable transport method.Compared with other tunnel washers, which require considerably larger drum diameters, the JENSEN  TW5 makes far more efficient use of the drum diameter thanks to its patented eccentric Archimedian helix, and enables high drop curves for outstanding wash action. This is reinforced even further by the washboard-type shape of the helix. An optimized drum design ensures an outstanding mechanical action and the most reliable batch transfer. The speed of the drum can be varied using the frequency-controlled drive motor, thus allowing for specific control of the mechanical action required by the goods being processed.

 

A tried and tested wash action with a superior reuse technique has enabled the consumption of resources by the JENSEN TW5 tunnel washer to be considerably reduced. The process water is recovered from various zones and fed to a number of tanks and could reach an amazing 100% reclaim. This water reclamation system allows for the process water’s heat and chemistry to be reused in the pre-wash, main wash, and rinse zones, having been accurately measured and controlled by inductive flow meters.

 

 

 

The enormous versatility of JENSEN TW5 tunnel washers means that a great variety of wash processes can be used to meet individual requirements. It goes without saying that this also includes low-temperature cycles. There are also various optional packages that allow the JENSEN TW5 to be adapted to suit special requirements such as the washing of work wear, dust mats and so on.

 

 

 

The heart of the tunnel washer is its drum, with an eccentric Archimedian helix that makes the optimal use of the drum volume and thus produces a highly efficient wash action while securely transporting the linen batch. JENSEN’s smart drum design allows a lighter drum without compromising the strength resulting in less energy to operate. This unique design, plus the fact that the helix is fully welded to the inner drum throughout (with no vertical bulkheads), gives the drum an extraordinary degree of strength and stability.

 

The JENSEN TW5 therefore does not need any oversized drum plates, with their comparatively high weight and consequently greater consumption of drive power. The eccentric design of the helix makes far better use of the drum volume than is the case in conventional machines with drums of similar diameterand depth. Deep beaters ensure that the linen and process water are thoroughly mixed together and the outstanding washing action is made even more efficient by the washboard-shaped helix which offers multi-directional mechanical action. The drum is driven by a frequency-controlled geared motor and an extremely robust and durable toothed chain. This drive design has proved reliable a thousand times under the most severe conditions.

 

The frequency-controlled drive is very smooth-running and protects all the drive components. An automatic electronically monitored system ensures that the chain is always perfectly lubricated. Specially designed drain valves on the double drums ensure that solid matter such as sand or metal particles from work wear etc. is always removed from the compartment and damage due to catalysis is safely avoided. Generously designed rapid drain outlets with ball valves that open up the entire opening ensure that drain times are very short, bath exchange is efficient and there is no risk of lint accumulating. The specially designed wash beaters assist rapid bath exchange and the efficient transport of the linen batch.

 

All the drain valves also have clamp fasteners for ease of maintenance and can be opened without tools for inspection purposes – this is a tremendous advantage for the laundry manager as it saves time and money. The correct function of the drain valve can be checked through an inspection window in the discharge nozzle. Specially designed steam nozzles are ideally adapted to the drum geometry. Their position on the bottom of the double drums means that the steam very rapidly enters the process water and ensures very short heating stages even when cycle times are short and a perfect heat distribution within the batch. There is no time loss like on conventional machines with simple heating boxes below the drum.

 

In the basic configuration of the JENSEN TW5, washing is done in standing baths in the pre-wash and main wash areas (bath exchange process) and rinsing is in counterflow. JENSEN was the first manufacturer in the world to develop this process and bring it to market. Every batch stays in its own bath until the start of the rinse zone and has its own individually programmed quantity of detergent, process water temperature, bath level etc. In the basic version of the JENSEN TW5 the rinse process uses a counterflow . A patented rinse process ensures that consumption of fresh water is reduced by up to 10%.

 

 

 

A drain valve in the first rinse compartment is controlled in such a way that it opens several times and the process water is very rapidly diluted, thus producing an excellent rinse effect and an outstanding lint removal while using a minimal amount of rinse water. As another option, the JENSEN TW5 can be fitted with a device for using excess water from the press or centrifuge in order to save approximately 40% fresh the post-treatment zone, the JENSEN TW5 has a double drum with an automatic drain valve that reduces the level in the bath, depending on the program, and this again greatly reduces the consumption of washing additives (acids, starch, softeners etc.). The process water that is drained off is, of course, recovered in a special tank in the tunnel wash.

 

 

 

To adapt to different types of linen, and to optimize media consumption even further, the JENSEN TW5 can be fitted with the following options from our range: 

 

• QuickSoak (pat. pend.) is optionally available and gives an extra shower for the linen in the first compartment for maximum soaking and drenching, achieving best wash performance and highest productivity.
• EcoTune (standard configuration) completes the tuning concept: A rotary encoder for individual swiveling angles and the level control in double drums form EcoTune and improves wash quality, provides less wear and tear, and generates lower energy consumption.
• Pre-rinsing with excess press or centrifuge process water to reduce fresh water consumption
• LintEx, the modular cascade filter system
• Additional lint filter combined with specially designed lint catch boxes on the double drums.
• Specially designed recovery tanks for processing dust mats

 

 

The recently developed machine control provides the user with a convenient operating interface, together with a highdegree of efficiency and safety. Operation is displayed and controlled from an industrial PC with a touch screen.

 

 

 

The Interbus design of the modular control enables the entire group of machines to be networked together so that every machine in a full wash line can be viewed and operated from every industrial PC. With conventional controllers, if one operator terminal fails it usually affects the whole system and causes a stoppage. The new control system has the unique advantage of compound redundancy meaning that the wash system can then continue to operate from another PC in the network, thus providing secure operation and avoiding a production failure. This high availability saves a lot of time and money. If, even so, a programming error or data loss occurs, the settings that have been previously saved on a flash card can quickly and easily be restored. The user-friendly control system offers you the following advantages:

 

• The whole of the wash process is displayed in real time
• Individual configuration of up to 100 wash programs
• The highest possible standard of security against production failure and data loss
• Allocation of individual access rights for up to 40 users provide a high degree of protection against programming errors or misuse
• Very user-friendly: Many languages are available for a flexible operation all over the world, even at the same time, e.g. a Spanish operator could work at the tunnel washer’s PPC, an American operator at the press and a Chinese operator at the dryers.
• Uniform control hardware on all plant components
• Convenience of operation thanks to the Windows-based display and the same tabular structure on the individual machines
• Quick and simple data backup on modern storage media

Detailed maintenance program offering the ability to generate a maintenance schedule for individual periods of time in the future.

In addition JENSEN provides an extraordinary after sales service through a worldwide network of highly qualified Sales and Service Centers and distributors, all with their own maintenance and spare parts services.

 

Modern laundries require machines with very high productivity, lowest use of resources and best hygienic conditions. With the further development of the JENSEN water extraction presses, JENSEN has taken this into account and meets these requirements.

 

 The previous press design was completely revised and optimized. The result is the new generation press JENSEN SEPPlus. Through innovation, JENSEN sets new standards in the field of water extraction technology. The JENSEN know-how for this further development is based on more than 30 years of experience in the construction of presses and more than 2500 extraction units built (status 2015). Hardly any other manufacturer can benefit from such an extensive wealth of experience.

 

JENSEN presses now offer a variety of new developments which once again improve the efficiency, reliability, userfriendliness and durability. These new developments include an innovative screw connection of posts, an optimized cushion fastening, an electronic level control of the cushion with automatic refilling as well as a new software which offers an even better operation and an even more comprehensive data collection. Furthermore, the product range now includes an additional press size for linen batches of up to 120 kg. Just like the SEP 100 SHD, the SEP 120 SHD has a basket with a diameter of 1300 mm and reaches, in connection with a pressure of up to 57 bar, exceptionally low residual moistures. With the SEP 90 SHD, JENSEN was the first manufacturer to develop a press with such a large basket diameter. JENSEN has again set new standards in water extraction technology.

 

 

The top plate of the press is made of extremely stable spheroidal graphite cast iron. This top part bears the hydraulic cylinder and the hydraulic unit as well as the respective control. The hydraulic system includes an infinitely variable pump which is extremely low-wear and highly efficient, compared to conventional systems.

 

The base plate is made of a solid steel block and provided with a durable anticorrosive. The patented TopDrain-System is mounted onto this base plate. The TopDrain-System is a closed drainage system of stainless steel. The extracted liquor is fed into either a separate, easily accessible recovery tank or, if combined with a tankless JENSEN tunnel washer SL (pat.), directly back to the rinse process of the batch washer without the use of any intermediate buffer tanks. Standing water is avoided and an outstanding hygiene is guaranteed. The TopDrain-System also has extraction pipes with larger diameters which provide an even faster discharge of the pressed-out liquor. Thanks to this, even lower residual moisture values can be reached for the press cakes. The stainless steel drainage plate can also be easily removed for cleaning.

 

The top plate and base plate are connected via four strong posts. For the SEPPlus a new post screw connection with special tensioning elements was developed. With this screw connection it is possible to reach a higher and more precise pretension. Furthermore, the corrosion protection of the posts and of the round nuts has been optimized by a teflonbased coating.

 

The press cushion is installed on the press plate by means of a new clamping device. The press plate is on the bottom end of the hydraulic cylinder. Thanks to the optimized geometry of the stainless steel clamping ring, the cushion is better supported and the lifetime of the cushion is thereby increased. The clamping ring also has a new outer coating made of an extremely stable synthetic material which improves the sliding properties within the basket. The position control of the press plate on the SEPPlus is infinitely variable. For this an innovative ultrasonic sensor is used. Thanks to a highly resistant hard rubber coating, the plate itself has optimal protection against corrosion.

 

A tried and tested wash action with a superior reuse technique has enabled the consumption of resources by the JENSEN TW5 tunnel washer to be considerably reduced. The process water is recovered from various zones and fed to a number of tanks and could reach an amazing 100% reclaim. This water reclamation system allows for the process water’s heat and chemistry to be reused in the pre-wash, main wash, and rinse zones, having been accurately measured and controlled by inductive flow meters.

 

The enormous versatility of JENSEN TW5 tunnel washers means that a great variety of wash processes can be used to meet individual requirements. It goes without saying that this also includes low-temperature cycles. There are also various optional packages that allow the JENSEN TW5 to be adapted to suit special requirements such as the washing of work wear, dust mats and so on.

 

 

The press cushion is made of wear-resistant special rubber and is filled with water. The concave shaped press base ensures best extraction results with the most gentle treatment of linen, even under high pressure. Furthermore, an electronic level control of the cushion with automatic refilling was developed for the SEPPlus to ensure optimum filling of the cushion and constant extraction results. Also the press cushion portfolio has been extended: The new optional 2K press cushion (patent pending) with its unique two-component rubber mixture offers even more individual adjustment to the customer requirements and different applications. The two components have been adjusted perfectly to the differently affected functional areas of the press cushion which extend the lifetime of the cushion correspondingly.

 

 

 

The press basket is made of solid stainless steel. For a reliable protection against deformation (for example, from jammed linen) JENSEN presses have a unique double safety system which consists of a photocell control on the loading chute and a patented strain gauge unit on the basket.

 

The extracted press cake is unloaded via a stable chain-operated ejector made of stainless steel. The drive motor is frequencycontrolled. The unloading of the linen cake is monitored by a special sensoric system.

 

The modular PLC-control with industrial standard touch panel has been developed by JENSEN and provides staff with clear visualisation, programming and monitoring of the operating states. During the process, data such as cycle time, pressure, etc. are displayed in real time. It is also possible to individually program data including pressure build-up for example gradients, maximum pressure, set pressure times and interval cycles.

 

The press control also includes collection and graphical evaluation of certain machine and batch data, for example, pressure history curves.

 

 

 

• Outstanding hygiene thanks to the closed, easy to clean extraction system TopDrain (pat.) which effectively avoids standing water: JENSEN presses are the first and only presses in the laundry sector world-wide with an independent hygienic certificate.
• Possibility of direct liquor recovery without buffer tanks, for example, if the system is integrated in a JENSEN tunnel washer SL (pat.).
• Outstanding extraction performance by means of a fast, strong hydraulic system and large pipe diameters

JENSEN  I5 is a durable and reliable ironer with all the basic functions you need to achieve financial and operational goals. The JENSEN I5 utilizes JENSEN’s highly acclaimed top-quality flexible chest design. It is available in a steam model with highest level of evaporation capacity and a gas model with high energy efficiency and temperature control.

 

 

 

The flexible chest consists of two layers of sheet metal welded together in a matrix pattern by a laser. This sandwich plate is rolled to the roll diameter and blasted with high pressure, thus forming small channels between the weldings. Gas chest is fully carbon steel, and steam chest uses a carbon steel inner plate welded to a stainless steel outer plate.

 

Carbon steel in the flexible chest has a thermal conduction which is four times higher than that of e.g. stainless steel, maintaining a higher and more even temperature on the surface and thus a more efficient heat transfer to the linen.

 

Carbon steel gives not only optimum thermal conduction, but also a low friction with wet linen, resulting in a nice finish. The low friction also reduces the wear of padding, ironing tapes and linen, as well as energy consumption.

 

A traditional fixed chest loses contact as the padding wears out reducing the roll diameter, however a flexible chest adapts to the actual roll diameter. This maintains an optimal and stable contact angle, resulting in a higher evaporation capacity compared to that of a fixed chest.

 

Planetary gear minimizes the counter torque and ensures that the roll will stay in its centered position during operation.

 

The exhaust is ensured by a fan on each roll with a manually adjustable throttle valve which is connected to the main exhaust duct at the rear of the ironer.

 

Adjustable v-belt pulleys make it possible to adjust the speed of each individual roll independently of each other,thus ensuring optimum finishing quality and longer lifetime of linen and padding.

 

Due to the higher evaporation capacity, over time a flex chest 2 × 1200 ironer may equal that of a fixed chest 3 × 1200 ironer.

 

 

The heat energy for ironing comes from a gas-fired burner enabling a laundry to lift off steam capacity for other purposes, and to run or expand its flatwork operation without heavy external piping and boiler room.

 

Due to the higher evaporation capacity, over time a flex chest 2 × 1200 ironer may equal that of a fixed chest 3 × 1200 ironer.

 

Due to the relatively low weight of the flexible chest, it can be heated in a fraction of the time and with a fraction of the energy required to heat a traditional chest.

 

The heat energy is transferred to the ironer chest by a thermal fluid oil. An expansion tank is connected to the heat exchanger and the chest to absorb the heated oil as it expands.

 

Transfer of heat via the oil medium allows for high efficiency – up to 40% higher than that of steam. The key to an optimum transfer of heat from the oil into the chest is a high oil velocity and a turbulent flow combined with the higher thermal conduction of the carbon steel flexible chest of carbon steel.

 

 

 

Uniform temperatures and highest possible evaporation capacity with the installed steam boiler capacity, which optimizes the heat transfer from steam to linen. The key to this optimum heat transfer is a turbulent steam flow combined with the carbon steel flexible chest. JENSEN has carried out extensive studies and tests on new methods of conducting the steam through the chest.

 

By using oil as the heating medium the JENSEN I5 Gas chest temperature can achieve temperatures of up to 230° C, 40° C higher than that of steam, when operating at a pressure of 12 bar.

 

The JENSEN I5 Gas model is designed to ensure a soft start and stop. A low flame is used at the start of production to prevent hot spots and superheating of oil until viscosity of oil decreases. Also the oil pump continues to run for a period after production stops, preventing superheating of the oil.

 

 

 

The JENSEN I5 serves as a distribution center for power and compressed air to the other equipment in the finishing lines, so the folder can easily be connected by the built-in plugs.

 

By using a flexible chest designed for the use of oil as the heating medium and an integrated gas-fired burner and heat exchanger, the JENSEN I5G minimizes the installation and set-up time, The JENSEN I5G is simply to be set in place and hooked up to a gas supply.

 

JENSEN stands for high quality, high value for money solution for customers who need dependable laundry machinery that can simply get the job done.

 

JENSEN is the world leading supplier of heavy-duty ironers, having delivered more than 2,500 ironers providing top-quality ironing and low-energy consumption to the industry. With a record sale of more than 10,000 folders and stackers to the laundry industry all over the world, JENSEN has the experience and knowhow to guarantee trouble-free finishing of all kinds of flatwork, ranging from high-capacity ironer lines for hospital linen to top-quality finishing of bed and table linen for high-end hotels and restaurants.

 

The JENSEN I5 is available as a stand-alone finishing unit with a delivery table for manual folding.

 

• Fast top-quality feeding
• 3 different types of feeding tables
• Standard width feeding table, 400 mm with separate toothed belt drive and with variable speed.
• Optional extended inclined inlet table, width 600 mm with shortened feeding height is ideal for smaller and larger linen offering ergonomic working conditions and excellent visual inspection of linen. It is especially suited for round table linen as it allows for careful guiding into ironer.
•  Optional built-in feeder JENSEN F5, incorporating a vacuum box which stretches the linen during the feeding process to ensure optimum feeding quality of large as well as small pieces.

 

• Roll diameter: 800 or 1200 mm
• Number of rolls: 1, 2, 3 rollers
• Working widths: 3000, 3300 and 3500 mm
• Heating: Gas or Steam
• Steam pressure: 5,5 to 14 bar

Models available:

• JENSEN S5 (built-in stacker)
• Max. stacking size: W. 830 * L. 600 mm
• Max. stacking height 350 mm

 Applications:

The optimum solution for efficient, highspeed stacking of folded linen. When using several JENSEN S5 operating in series, linen can be sorted and stacked according to predetermined categories controlled by the folder.

 Operation:

The folded linen arrives from the crossfolder and stops on top of two flaps which open rapidly dropping the linen onto the stack. When the pre-selected number has been reached the stack is ejected to a delivery conveyor.

 Features:

The delivery conveyor is supplied with a drum motor giving a smoother and steadier transport of the stacks. The inlet on the JENSEN S5 is spring mounted in order to secure a uniform and good stacking quality of thick as well as thin linen. Interlock safety guards for service or maintenance.

 

The JENSEN X5 is a range of combination folders with a standard working width of up to 3500 mm. lateral folding is only 1 or 4 lanes available. The folder was designed with less moving parts than other conventional combination folders, which makes it a very fast and reliable folder. Lateral folding is performed by the classic airblast between pinch rollers. The lateral folder operates without reversing mechanisms and has a running speed of up to 60 meters per minute. The speed is synchronously adjusted to the ironer speed. The lateral folder can be combined with cross folders to suit the type of linen, the product mix and the required folding patterns. In addition, it can be combined with small piece combination cross folders and stackers for multi-purpose ironer lines.

 

1) The linen is hanging freely from the top of the folder’s conveyor at the 1st lateral fold (B). The fold is performed by air blast between pinch rollers. The air blast can be adjusted according to linen thickness, ensuring fast, simple and efficient folding of light or heavy linen.

 

2) Belting guides the linen through the machine. This technique prevents the linen from sliding and displacing, and the pressing function ensures optimum folding quality.

 

3) The Lateral fold C is performed by sandwich conveyorbelts and air blast. Thanks to the sandwich design, optimum friction and an excellent folding quality is ensured.

 

Bypass systems

Two bypass systems in the lateral fold section allow you to perform bypass drop of large pieces to the rear table

 

4) ,or to bypass small pieces through the machine, e.g. to a small-piece combination cross folder and stacker placed after the folder. Other bypass systems are available according to lane division and options.

 

The JENSEN  X5 uses as standard a simple and fast cross folder for 1-lane operation, giving 1, 2, or 3 cross folds as half folds. As an option, the folder can be supplied with a selection of crossfold sections well-known from the Jenfold Classic range.

 

5) The 1st cross fold is performed between pinch rollers. The distance between the rollers, and thus the roller pressure, is automatically adjusted by a mechanically spring-loaded roller. This ensures a good friction between the rollers and the linen. The belts of the outlet conveyor drive the rollers of the 1st cross fold, and guide the linen down onto the outlet conveyor. The standard cross fold section is for light material and max. two lateral folds.

 

6) As an option, the 1st cross fold can be supplied with sandwich belts and large diameter rollers. The belts guide the linen down and press the linen, ensuring exact fold and smoothing of the folded edges. The distance between the rollers, and thus the roller pressure, is automatically adjusted by means of air cylinders, ensuring optimum friction and flexibility disregarding linen types and thicknesses. In case of a jam or emergency stop, or when opening the safety guards to the cross fold section,the distance between the rollers at the 1st cross fold automatically increases, allowing the operator to easily remove the linen.

 

7) Air blast between pinch rollers at 1st cross fold is recommended for light linen.

 

8) Knife between pinch rollers at 1st cross fold is recommended for heavy linen.

 

9) Pick-up and drop at 2nd cross fold is recommended for light linen.

 

10) EN-fold with knife at 3rd cross fold is the standard solution for half folds.

 

11) Knife at reversing conveyor.

 

12) Reversing conveyor at 2nd cross fold is recommended for high-quality half folds of heavy linen, e.g. for table linen and duvet covers, and after 3 lateral folds.

 

13) Outlet conveyor.

 

The ALPHA XW5 is a further development of the popular JENSEN X5 model, now featuring a 200 mm. larger cross fold section making it possible to cross fold up to 1030 mm.

 

The new, larger cross fold has been designed with increasing sizes of hotel linen in mind, and like the JENSEN X5, the model XW5 is available with a selection of cross folding sections which have been carefully designed to meet the different requirements around the world.

 

 

 

Accurate folding requires ultra-fast and accurate control. The Jentrol HMI PLC control system represents the recent and most advanced PLC control system with touch–screenensuring optimum control of the folding parameters. On ironer lines for high-quality purposes especially, it is an all-important factor to ensure the accuracy of the folding functions, and the right speed and control through the entire ironer line in general.

 

The Jentrol HMI control system features a fast and accurate processor, an easy-to-use man-machine interface, multi-language facilities and an option for remote system service.

 

The PLC control allows you to operate with sorting on stackers, automatic lane combination, integrated finishing line control from feeder end, variable speed, etc.

 

Remote control of folder from feeding takes place through separate panel or feeder panel.

 

As a standard feature in the software program, all production statistics data can be easily exported to export to an Excel spread sheet through a USB port positioned on PLC.
