Milnor MP1540 User Manual

Another extraction alternative
for Milnor tunnel systems!

Milnor’s single-stage membrane press makes it
even easier to tailor a continuous batch system to
your needs. You can meet production and space
requirements in the way that suits you best.

Extracts wide variety of goods.

This single-station press can process 100% polyester,
blends, and all-cotton effectively. Several

features provide careful treatment while exerting
pressure appropriate for the goods. To remove water
pockets and minimize hydroburst, goods can be tamped
by the membrane before final pressure. Ram movement
and pressure (up to 56 bar) are programmable.

Waterless membrane: This standard feature
prevents puncturing and promotes longevity.

Designed for easy service: Hinged
press water return pump simplifies
press maintenance.

Hygienic Processing Environment

Milnor’s stainless steel cosmetics and antimicrobial
paint for structural components promote a hygienic
environment within the machine.

Saves space.

Compact design requires less space. And the press
can be ordered for various installation
arrangements – in-line or 90º angle in either
direction – to fit your laundry’s size and shape.

Single-stage press: This membrane press
processes almost any type of goods in one station.
It’s a good choice when space is tight.

Run Screen
control

Easy-to-read and easy­to-program. The operator
can monitor the press in
real-time with this 10.4"
LCD display.

Moisture Retention: These graphs illustrate how much moisture can be expelled in terry towels and poly-cotton sheets in Milnor's presses. The more moisture removed,
the more money you save in dryer fuel costs.

Ratcheting Ram.

The diaphragm is rotated 10 degrees by a patent­pending actuator as the hydraulic ram retracts at
the end of every press cycle. The service life of the
diaphragm is greatly increased with this standard
feature.

It’s productive and efficient.

Stainless steel press basket accomodates up to 110 lbs.
(50 kg), 150 lbs. (68 kg), or 250 lbs. (115 kg) of
standard cotton sheets. The basket’s large diameter
keeps the cake relatively flat for fast drainage.
Extracted water is pumped to the CBW washer for
reuse. After completion of a cycle, two hydraulic
cylinders lift the basket and an integral conveyor
(which helps keep the cake intact) moves the cake to
the next position for conditioning or drying. A special
unloading sequence prevents the cake from sticking.

Ruggedly built.

Rigid structure absorbs stress for long life. A thick,
solid steel platform supports the hydraulic press
cylinder and pressure system. It is linked to the
bottom plate by four steel columns, using massive,
specially designed locknuts. The hydraulic system uses
an elastomer interfaced connection to prevent leaks.
Its separate recirculation/air cooling loop (standard)
provides both optimum fluid filtration and cooling
for reliability and long life. Easy cleaning
helps enhance plant hygiene.

*XML Tag compatible

Control is versatile, simple.

Proven microprocessor control provides 16
programmable extraction sequences. 10.4" graphic
display tells operating status – including time
remaining in extraction cycle, loading status,
and status for receiving another load. It also
shows production and accounting data, plus
fault recognition with error statements. Control
components are interchangeable with those of other
Milnor machines, to simplify inventory. Control
can be linked to the Mildata® computer system for
central programming, data collection, and system
monitoring.

Another Milnor extraction option:

Centrifugal extractor: Excellent for garments, dust
mats, 100% polyester textiles (including surgery and
barrier cloth items), plus cottons and blends.

Also available:

Ram Command™ press ram

option for single stage presses:

This feature enhances the control over the ram’s descent into the can. It
also allows the ram to descend at a slower rate (programmable for goods
type) when pressing delicate goods. For example, high thread-count
cotton sheets or barrier material that are subject to fabric microbursting
would benefit from this unique feature.
