Sankosha changed a few features on their double buck shirt unit and their collar and cuff machine enough to give it a new model number; LP-185U.And that means that I can show it to you.I have a self-imposed rule that says that I will only present new equipment that has never been shown at a Clean Show before.So because of some modifications in the buck rotation hardware and the fact that the yoke press rises out of the way a little bit higher than the previous model 175 for operator ease and safety, I can show you this new model here.I love how hospitable the Japanese are, how polite they are to me and how welcome I feel in their booth.I have some great movies – you know where – and a couple of surprise products from Sankosha that I’ll show you soon.Hint: when was the last time you saw innovation in products for folding shirts, packaging folded shirts and pressing sheets, tablecloths and other flatwork?Leave it to Sankosha to innovate!Stay tuned!
Not to be outdone, Sankosha also has a way to pull the collars taunt an instant before they are squeezed.That dip in the middle of the otherwise flat collar press is stretched flat – along with the collar itself – just before pressing.
