MAGIK is available with gas, steam or electric heating in three roller diameter versions, 600 mm, 800 mm and 1000 mm for 2 working widths: 2600 mm and 3300 mm.<br \/>\nThe gas heated machines are provided either with the traditional atmospheric burner or, as an optional, with a new premix burner that allows to improve the energy efficiency even more, by about 25%. All the numerous available machine models, that can be customized through a wide range of accessories, lead to very high hourly productivity even when operated by just a single operator (large pieces, e.g. double bed sheets worked by an automatic feeder operating on 1 workstation).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-13730 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/POKER-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"284\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/POKER-1.jpg 1754w, https:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/POKER-1-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/POKER-1-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/POKER-1-1024x724.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 284px) 100vw, 284px\" \/>Research and development allowed the business to apply new technologies to machines by request of the clients, which has made it possible for the industrial automation to integrate new technology to increase the quantity and the productive quality of machines, to create new business opportunities and improve work conditions at laundries according to the principles of 4.0.
