| The traditional “ironer felt(padding) + spring” structure simply cannot overcome these limitations, The ironer felt will be punctured by springs under pressure, and trapped moisture accelerates damage, leading low effective. Frequently ironer felts replacement creates high costs and affect out come, to stay competitive in today's high-efficiency market, breaking with tradition is necessary, Our advanced 'ironer felts+ Steel fiber felt mat + spring' system is specifically engineered to solve these exact problems, perfectly and permanently. |

Steel fiber felt mat also called steel wool pad is designed to be wrapped around the ironing cylinder, positioned between the springs and the felt to create a robust "Sandwich Structure."
Compared to the traditional "felt + spring" configuration, the flat and resilient surface of the steel wool mat serves as a protective shield, preventing expensive felts from being punctured or torn by the point-pressure of the springs. Furthermore, its exceptional breathability and thermal conductivity deliver vastly superior ironing results.
As a revolutionary product in the era of high-speed laundry processing, steel wool pad is an efficiency multiplier: it enhances linen quality, minimizes downtime, and significantly reduces long-term maintenance costs.
Manufactured using specialized industrial machinery, our steel fiber felt mat is securely needle-punched into the felt layers, ensuring a highly stable and durable bond. It is universally compatible with all leading chest ironers, including JENSEN, Kannegiesser, Girbau, Braun, and more.

The advantages of the New Structure“Ironer Felt + Steel Wool Pad + Spring” over the traditional structure“Ironer Felt + Spring” in terms of ironing results and operating costs:
1. Eliminating "Spring Indentations" and Improving Linens Flatness
● Traditional Structure(Ironer Felt + Spring): Springs act directly on the outer felt. As the felt gradually thins under high temperatures, the circular bottom of the springs creates "point pressure," leading to subtle circular indentations or uneven pressure wrinkles on bed sheets and table linens.
● New Structure (Ironer Felt + Steel Wool Pad + Spring): The steel wool pad possesses excellent horizontal structure and vertical elasticity. It acts like a "pressure distribution plate," converting the point pressure from the springs into uniform surface pressure. This results in a flatter surface for ironed fabrics, meeting the visual standards of five-star hotels.
2. Enhancing the "Heat Pump Effect" and Increasing Ironing Speed
●Traditional Structure: Ordinary felt (mostly polyester or aramid) is a poor conductor of heat. Heat transfer from the heated chest (trough) to the fabric relies mainly on physical compression, resulting in lower efficiency.
● New Structure (Metal Conduction): The metal fibers within the steel wool pad have an extremely high heat transfer rate. They form a thermal network within the structure, ensuring more uniform temperature distribution across the roll surface. Experimental data shows this structure enhances heat transfer efficiency, boosting ironing speed by approximately 10%-15%, or allowing for lower steam pressure at the same speed, achieving energy savings.
3. "Sandwich" Protection Mechanism Greatly Extends Consumable Lifespan
●Traditional Structure (Direct Fatigue): The spring continuously wear against the inner felt face under running and pressure. The ordinary felt easily wears out prematurely from the inside, which result the outer ironer padding (or felt) to be broken.
● New Structure (Safety Buffer): The steel wool pad acts as a "bulletproof vest" between the springs and the felt.
*Physical Isolation: Its tough metal structure completely eliminates physical puncturing of the felt by the springs.
*Doubled Lifespan: The replacement cycle for the outer felt and blankets can typically be extended by over 50% or more, significantly reducing the frequency of purchasing expensive consumables.
4. Optimizing Moisture Removal from Linens and Solving the "Rewet" Problem
●Traditional Structure: While the internal space of the springs is large, if the felt compresses and sags, water vapor can easily accumulate in the felt layer, leaving the ironed linens damp.
● New Structure (Top Support): The steel wool pad maintains an extremely high void ratio internally, and the structure is robust. Under a strong extraction system, the steel wool pad provides a more unobstructed channel for water vapor escape, ensuring linens are ironed dry in a single pass and reducing energy waste from rework.
5. Maintaining a Long-term, Stable "Rebound Curve"
● Traditional Structure: Under long-term high temperatures, ordinary felt is prone to "heat mat depression" (losing elasticity), leading to a drop in ironing pressure.
● New Structure: The metal fibers of the steel wool pad possess exceptional fatigue resistance, assisting the springs in maintaining stable rebound over the long term. This ensures highly consistent ironing quality throughout the entire replacement cycle, eliminating the common issue where 'performance is excellent with new felt but fails to dry properly as the felt ages.
