摘要

A laundry mangles has at least one mangling roller (10) held in a working position inside a heatable trough (20) by at least one carrying arm (12). The mangle roller (10) and the trough (20) are held in relative movable positions by at least one adjusting member, delimiting together the inlet and outlet sides of a passage for laundry pieces (22). The adjusting member allows a force to be exerted on the mangling roller (10) and/or trough (20) that counteracts the frictional force generated during operation of the mangle, so that a constant or increasing ironing pressure towards the outlet side is set. The frictional force (R) generated during mangling is thus compensated, so that a gentle, wear-free mangling process is achieved. In addition, the mangling capacity is increased, compared with known mangles.
