NEWS FROM NCL1308

Following on the heels of my June column, “Premium Shirts, Premium Problems,” is PONY’s tensioning shirt finisher EAGLE, which was introduced for the first time at the Clean Show in New Orleans.

Unlike the shirt units of their competitors, it features a higher protection for the buttons.

While the others have an electrically heated front paddle to heat and dry the front part of the shirt, this paddle is only covered by a felt pad in order to allow heat to go through.

The Pony Eagle features a steam heated counter paddle on the buck, thus providing This allows Pony to use a cold front paddle with a thick, double silicon padding.

Once the paddle is closed, the buttons get easily into the padding, not being damaged or broken.

Regarding the cuff area, we can confidently state you don’t need to remove cuff buttons.

The cuff clamps system features a rubber polyester foam padding which protects the cuff buttons. Hmmm.

I will send my premium shirts to a cleaner that processes them on this unit! From the usability standpoint, the Eagle is customizable.

For any given cycle, you can program this shirt press to skip certain steps, such as no yoke press or no sleeve pleat press.

Furthermore, the Eagle has a few buttons on the front of the machine that are user customizable.

Rather than going to the control panel, for example, you can program one of these buttons to skip the sleeve pleat press. Nice touch.

Don’t miss the movie of this unit on my website.
