Flawless Design!
Impeccable Finish!
The Thunder SB1 applies an impeccable finish to the body of the shirt without compromise. Even large shirts (up to size 20) can be easily processed without special handling. It is designed and built to produce a quality shirt day after day, for years to come.
Formed Vacuum Buck: The vacuum bucks are specially designed to facilitate loading and unloading. This increases production, improves quality, and makes it easy to train operators. The buck cap is slotted to shape and finish the yoke area.
Foot-Operated Collar Clamp:Frees the operator's hands to set the collar and dress the shoulders.
Contoured Chests:The chests are countoured in the yoke area for pressing the shoulders and are full-length to completely press the front and back of the shirt. Arm cut-outs for the sleeves eliminate over-pressing, especially under the arm.
Side Air Bags:The air bags are designed to accept full-cut as well as tapered shirts. Superheated air is used to finish the sides, eliminating rough dry.
Fast Smooth Transfer:The bucks are mounted on two separate parallel arms and each is driven by dual-acting pneumatic cylinders. The cylinders index the bucks into the pressing position. This system employs few moving parts, minimizing maintenance.
High Pressure Squeeze: The contoured chests are mounted on rocker arms and closed by an air actuator system. This system is designed to close the heads quickly while applying high pressure evenly across the chests, imparting a flawless finish.
Open Design: The open design of the Thunder features centrally-located air valves and microprocessor controls with self-diagnostics. The unit also fatures a scheduled maintenance indicator light.
