How four famous companies are confirmation of the technological leadership in the manufacturing of laundry accessories of this company headquartered in Gorgonzola (near Milan)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"ditta<\/a>History<\/em><\/strong>
\n SteelControl was established in 1982 as a satellite company for Sorba, a company founded in 1959, in order to create a business specialized in the design and production of control pedals. Making a conscious choice to go against the mainstream, we found ourselves with a truly singular company on the market. For us the pedal is not just one of the many products in the catalogue but the product on which the entire catalogue is built.<\/em>
\n Production<\/em><\/strong>
\n We have single or multiple pedals, electrical or pneumatic pedals or even mixed pedals and accordion pedals, in plastic or metal or mixed materials, with different shapes and sizes, containing one or more valves or switches.<\/em>
\n Customization<\/em><\/strong>
\n We produce special customized products for companies that need to market control pedals as complementary products in their own catalogue.<\/em>
\n As an entirely one-of-a-kind enterprise, we design and produce the bases and metal protections on which the pedals are mounted, so as to create a finished product which is customized based on our own design or that of the end customer. These applications are widely appreciated in both the electromedical and industrial ironing sector.<\/em>
\n\"FOTO<\/a>
\n We create industrial products in which glitz takes back seat to functionality and reliability. We’ve never believed in jumping on the pure design bandwagon and creating rounded pedals shaped like a computer mouse, neglecting the fact that the sole of a shoe is flat and not concave like the palm of a hand, or forgetting that a finger’s precision and pressure are very refined and quite different from that which a foot could apply to a control pedal. We want nothing to do with prevalent trends, and we certainly don’t want to be changing colors each year based on what’s vogue at the moment. We’d rather be able to guarantee that the product you just purchased will still be available down the road for additions or replacements, focusing more on aesthetic consistency between the different production lines than passing fads.<\/em>
\nThe distinguishing feature of STEELCONTROL is its reliability.
\nIt is based on dependable quality and specific, precise and well-tested procedures for checking the incoming components. An operating test is performed on 100% of the products coming out of the factory in Gorgonzola (Milan). Furthermore, spot checks are carried out to test the tensile and torsional strength of the cables, as well as the accidental fall resistance with cycles of 100 consecutive falls from a height of one meter. The resistance to electrical discharge, fire (for special plastics), water and dust is also tested, to the point of obtaining products that can work even if submerged completely in water. Finally, the mechanical life test of the pedal requires that it withstand ten million consecutive activations achieved through a pneumatic piston simulating the pressure of a foot.\"pedali<\/a>
\nA large warehouse and quick delivery times are just one more indication of STEELCONTROL’s focus on customer needs. Considering all this, the outstanding functionality of this product is no surprise, especially since its characteristics and qualifications are suited for a wide variety of sectors, including the highly demanding medical sector.
\nFor the ironing sector, in particular, STEELCONTROL produces extra-long pedals to facilitate their use. It also produces multiple pedals connected to the machine through a single cable so that they can then be positioned freely according to the operator’s needs, thus focusing the product’s ergonomic study on the operator and his individual physical characteristics.
\nClearly all this comes with a cost, although moderate, which is duly appreciated only by small or large companies aiming to stand out for quality and innovation. As a result, the STEELCONTROL product has become a “guaranteed brand”. Those who mount STEELCONTROL on their machines don’t worry about expenses when it comes to guaranteeing top quality for their customers.\"pedaliere<\/a>
\nWe are happy to introduce some of these companies below, companies whose winning success, more than just words, bears out our 30 years of commitment in the ironing world.
\nWe look forward to seeing all our partner companies and others next October at the EXPOdetergo exhibition, where even STEELCONTROL will be participating with its stand. (Pavilion 4 \u2013 Stand. B07 C08)<\/strong><\/p>\n

A13 \u2013 BARBANTI \u2013 PONY \u2013 TREVIL<\/p>\n

A13<\/strong>
\n\"A13_det1\"<\/a>There’s no recovery without quality. And the ironing sector is no exception. To fully appreciate this just visit A13, which is so\u00a0much more than a beautiful shop located at 57 via Venini in the Brianza-Pasteur district of Milan. It’s a downright modern
\ncommercial enterprise which serves both those who build laundry machines as well as those who use them in their own drycleaning\u00a0company. Given this, it’s easy to understand how such a fruitful synergy was created “in the field” between A13 and
\nSTEELCONTROL centered, of course, on high-quality pedals produced by \u00a0STEELCONTROL. Currently A13 purchases two\u00a0types of pedals, an electric one and a pneumatic one, and resells both to manufacturers of laundry machines and the actual\u00a0laundries themselves, depending on demand.
\nA13 has been producing padding and covers for ironing boards for more than 30 years. The materials and prices of these products\u00a0vary, ranging from the simple fabric and felt cover to sophisticated multilayer solutions with nets, silicones and high-tech\u00a0fabrics, quickly becoming the sector benchmark. \"A13_det2\"<\/a>The production targets both the industrial sector (dry cleaning and clothing\u00a0machines) and the household (suction boards and suction\/blowing tables). The high production standard is guaranteed by the\u00a0same high-level machines responsible for the huge success of the Italian fashion clothing industry, combined with a set of very\u00a0rigid and scientifically reliable quality control tests. Furthermore, great expertise and attention to every detail in production\u00a0allows A13 to meet the needs of machine manufacturers and technicians for machine fittings as well as end customers, who can\u00a0request any type of specific customization of the product.
\nThus it is highly likely that there will be new, winning synergies in the future between two brands representing the ‘Made in\u00a0Italy’ so well in the laundry sector: A13 and STEELCONTROL.<\/p>\n

BARBANTI<\/strong>
\nBarbanti Srl is extremely grateful to STEELCONTROL, one of its historical suppliers, for the special relationship they’ve\u00a0enjoyed over the years.
\nOn the other hand Barbanti, with over 40 years of experience in the industrial ironing sector, has always had to resort to suppliers\u00a0capable of guaranteeing efficient and long-lasting products in order to achieve its position at the forefront as a designer\u00a0and manufacturer of high-quality machines with outstanding reliability.
\n\"BARBANTI<\/a>Barbanti sells its products worldwide, mainly in \u201cdemanding\u201d markets, and thus uses only high-quality components.
\nAll parts assembled on Barbanti machines are carefully selected and monitored over time. Moreover, this Modenese company\u00a0has always focused on the research and manufacturing of innovative machines for each type of clothing, paying particular\u00a0attention to the customer’s needs. As a result, it successfully developed a complete line of specific finishers capable of guaranteeing\u00a0both top quality and high productivity.
\nToday Barbanti can boast a wide range of products including steam generators, tables, toppers, combined units, trouser presses\u00a0and form finishers. With regard to the form finishers, the company produces as many as eight versions for ironing shirts and\u00a0another eight for jackets, each with different characteristics to meet all customers’ needs.
\nOne of the particularly successful models is the shirt finisher\u00a0designed in 1993. The original prototype, the result of a brilliant\u00a0idea, has undergone continuous improvements and\u00a0upgrades over the years. Two of the many international
\npatents Barbanti can be so proud of are actually protecting its\u00a0heat recovery system and form press units. In particular,
\nmodel 483 is capable of ironing both dry and wet shirts perfectly\u00a0without any touch-ups, so as to obtain high hourly production\u00a0rates, high energy savings of more than 25% and a\u00a0healthier working environment due to reduced emissions of
\nsteam and hot air.
\nIt is available in both the electrical version as well as the version\u00a0designed to be connected to a steam source, and it can\u00a0be customized based on the customer’s needs by interchanging\u00a0clothes stands, sleeve tensioners, clamps and press units.<\/p>\n

PONY<\/strong>
\n\"ponyCCP\"<\/a>Pony boasts over 55 years of expertise in the design and production of industrial ironing and finishing equipment.Pony has\u00a0always focused on the choice of premium quality raw materials and components in order to guarantee that its products are
\nbuilt with the same quality and reliability that made the Pony brand a worldwide leader in the sector. This is why Pony is so\u00a0proud to include STEELCONTROL, a professional and reliable partner, among its historical suppliers. Their aesthetic sense\u00a0fits in just perfectly with the precision and functionality of their products, fully in line with a demanding corporate philosophy.
\nTill the 80\u2019s Pony had been known for its ironing tables, its spotting machines, its steam generators, its form finishers and its\u00a0finishing cabinets, but the last decades proved us leaders also in the production of tensioning form finishers and, above all,
\nshirt finishers, from the first model introduced into the market in the early 90\u2019s to the new ones introduced during the most\u00a0important exhibitions of this market: models Angel and EAGLE.
\n\"ponyEagle_new\"<\/a>The Eagle shirt finisher stands out for its innovative features such as its sliding front clamp, Teflon-coated yoke press and\u00a0entirely new clamping system which ensures perfect finishing of sleeves, cuffs and sleeve-plackets. Eagle was designed to\u00a0reduce energy consumption as much as possible with its patented H.A.R.S. device, which pre-heats the air used by the machine.
\nThe machine is characterized by a low noise level, compact size, ease of use, outstanding results with various shirt styles and\u00a0sizes, excellent ergonomics due to the lower position of its dummy (compared to previous ones and similar products on the\u00a0market) and an adjustable height. All these features contribute to making EAGLE the perfect shirt finisher to meet all customer’s\u00a0needs, as demonstrated by the remarkable number of machines installed worldwide since it was first launched in 2013.
\nAnd even for their top-of-the-line machine, Pony has chosen STEELCONTROL as their partner supplier.<\/p>\n

As Corinna Mapelli, manager of Trevil srl states, “The relationship between Trevil and STEELCONTROL is simply historical\u00a0by now. Since the folding finishing table Domostir Plia, created in the 80’s, up to the most advanced finishing units available
\non the market today, many of our machines are working every day, all over the world, thanks to STEELCONTROL pedals.
\nA relationship as long lasting as this is clearly based on the reliability, robustness and outstanding quality\/price ratio of the\u00a0STEELCONTROL products. Both versions, pneumatic and electrical, are highly appreciated by operators, particularly for the
\nergonomics features guaranteed by the sensitivity, shape and anti-slip characteristics of the pedals.”
\nEngineer Mapelli then elaborates, \u201cThe Presto line, our series of hot plate shirt units, combines the outstanding productivity\u00a0that characterizes this shirt finisher design with Trevil’s focus on ironing quality. Presto shirt units boast excellent performance,\u00a0application flexibility, ergonomics and reliability. The ironing quality is guaranteed by small but important features such as the\u00a0Teflon coating on the presses, in order to avoid producing a shine on dark fabrics, or the sleeve tension and inclination adjustment\u00a0for ad hoc ironing of any fabric and shirt style. Particular care was taken in the design of the ironing system of the tucks\u00a0and cuff placket of the sleeves.”<\/p>\n

La maggior parte dei prodotti Trevil trae beneficio dall’affidabilit\u00e0

Most Trevil\u2019s products benefit from the reliability of STEELCONTROL pedals<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As Corinna Mapelli concludes, “We’ve decided to use a STEELCONTROL pedal for Presto too; a single, simple element used\u00a0to control a powerful and sophisticated machine. For an automatic finishing unit subject to intense work for many years, simplicity\u00a0and reliability of the actuation devices are essential features. With the help of STEELCONTROL we’ve succeeded in\u00a0obtaining this. We’ll undoubtedly be long-lasting partners as we continue to develop the most suitable products to meet -the\u00a0needs of our customers.”<\/p>\n
