A roller ironing press including, between two supporting shoulders, respectively a first shoulder and a second shoulder: a motorized roller, which cooperates with one or more pressers, the one or more pressers being heated and shaped complementarily to the roller, and elements for moving the one or more pressers toward the roller.

Elements for moving the one or more pressers toward the roller include at least one cable which extends between pulleys, the cable being moved by drive elements which are kinematically connected to at least one of its ends.

Ironers are provided with spiral wrappings for the ironer roll thereof and ironer belts which are subjected to significant stress during the ironing process. This leads to settling phenomena and to warpage in the known spiral wrappings and ironer belts, whereby the ironing quality is impaired. The object of the invention is to form the spiral wrapping and/or the ironer belt from a base layer and a non-woven fabric layer assigned to this base layer on at least one side. The non-woven fabric layer is preferably connected to the base layer by needling. The base layer forms a stable three-dimensional support layer for the non-woven fabric layer, whereby the ironer belt and/or the spiral wrapping may be effectively stabilized and as a result may be used for a longer period of time without settling phenomena and warpage.

A chest ironer having a chest, a cylinder, displacement means for displacement of the chest and the cylinder relatively each other, and rotation means for rotation of the cylinder around an axis of rotation. The chest has a curved metal plate with a concave side which faces the cylinder and a convex side opposite the concave side. The chest ironer further includes at least one induction arrangement for heating of the metal chest. The induction arrangement includes at least one electrical conductor arranged electrically isolated from the chest at the convex side of the chest, the at least one electrical conductor being connectable to a high frequency power source.
