Which professional ironing table is the best ?

In sectors such as dry cleaning, industrial laundries, garment manufacturing, as well as hospitality and healthcare facilities like hospitals and nursing homes, ironing is a strategic step. It directly impacts finishing quality, team productivity, and day-to-day working comfort.
Choosing the right professional ironing table is therefore not a minor detail, but a real investment.

Faced with a wide range of equipment on the market, this article helps you understand the differences between solutions, identify the right selection criteria, and better appreciate the added value of COVEMAT professional ironing tables.

Professional Ironing Table: Why the Choice Matters

Unlike domestic or semi-professional equipment, a professional ironing table is designed for intensive, repetitive, and demanding use. It must ensure:

  • Consistent ironing quality
  • High production throughput
  • Ergonomics adapted to operators
  • Long-term durability

A poor choice can lead to operator fatigue, loss of time, inconsistent results, and premature equipment wear.

Which Ironing Table for a Dry Cleaner / Hotel / Laundry / Workshop / Nursing Home?

1. Type of Activity

Requirements vary significantly depending on whether you operate in:

  • Traditional dry cleaning
  • Industrial laundry
  • Garment manufacturing / textile workshop / professional sewing
  • Healthcare or hospitality facilities

Each environment has specific constraints in terms of volume, textiles, and ergonomics.

2. Ironing Volume

  • Low to medium volume: simple suction table
  • High volume: suction and heated table
  • Very high throughput: suction, blowing, and heated table

3. Suction and Blowing Power

Insufficient suction leads to:

  • Residual wrinkles
  • Poor moisture evacuation
  • Loss of time

Blowing, on the other hand, is essential for delicate fabrics or complex garments.

4. Heated Surface

Heating improves:

  • Finishing quality
  • Drying speed
  • Ironing consistency

A key criterion for intensive use.

5. Ergonomics and Working Comfort

Adjustable height, stability, and easy access to controls: good ergonomics reduce fatigue and musculoskeletal disorders.

6. Robustness and Safety

  • Workstation stability
  • Thermal protection
  • Compliance with professional standards

Often underestimated, yet essential elements.

7. Options and Scalability

Suction arms, sleeve boards, specific shapes, pneumatic controls… Options allow the table to adapt to your current and future needs.

Vaccum Table or Vaccum/Blowing Table?

Vaccum Tables

Essential in professional environments, they hold the fabric in place and evacuate steam for a clean finish.

Vaccum and Blowing Tables

Ideal for delicate textiles, blowing allows ironing without marking the fabric.

Heated Tables

Recommended for high production rates, they improve productivity and finishing quality.

Universal Tables

Versatile solutions combining suction, blowing, and heating to cover a wide range of uses.

Specialized Tables

Designed for specific needs: lingerie, technical garments, heavy fabrics, or complex shapes.

Tips to Avoid Common Selection Mistakes

  • Underestimating actual production volume
  • Choosing a table without upgrade options
  • Prioritizing price over ergonomics
  • Selecting equipment not designed for intensive use

A good choice should always be based on real operational needs, not just the initial budget.

Benefits of a Well-Chosen Professional Ironing Table

  • Increased productivity
  • Consistent ironing quality
  • Improved operator comfort
  • Reduced maintenance costs
  • Enhanced professional image
