Explore Iron Consumables by Product Type

Product Type	Material / Construction	Primary Function & Application
Iron Shoe (Teflon Cover)	Aluminum-framed PTFE with fine steam holes	Snaps onto the soleplate to prevent scorching and shine on dark/delicate fabrics while allowing smooth gliding.
Iron Table Pressing Cloth	High-temp woven synthetic & cotton canvas	Covers vacuum boards/tables. Provides a smooth, porous surface for steam/air passage while preventing distortion.
Iron Table Pressing Pad	Multi-layered silicone foam & needle-punched felt	Installed beneath the cloth. Distributes pressure evenly over seams/buttons to prevent impression marks.
Iron Hoses & Protectors	High-pressure rubber/silicone with braided sleeves	Delivers continuous steam (up to 5 bar) without kinking, melting, or leaking. Protectors shield against wear.
Iron Rest	Heat-resistant silicone or vulcanized rubber (waffle grid)	Provides a safe, heat-resistant resting place for hot irons between passes, protecting table covers.
Iron Plug & Connectors	Heavy-duty molded plugs & ceramic terminal blocks	Provides safe electrical connection, handling continuous high-amperage current without overheating.

Choose Consumables by Equipment Compatibility

Consumable Category	Compatible Equipment & Specifications	Key Selection Criteria
Iron Shoe	Gravity irons (ES-300L, ES-94AL) & boiler irons	Soleplate dimensions and steam hole alignment pattern.
Pressing Cloth & Pad	Rectangular, utility, and mushroom pressing tables	Board surface dimensions, pad thickness (5mm–10mm), and steam permeability.
Iron Hoses & Protectors	Commercial boilers (SR-5800 series) & centralized lines	Hose diameter, thread size (e.g., 1/4" BSP), and pressure rating (up to 5 bar).
Iron Rest	Universal fit for gravity and boiler irons	Base footprint dimensions and heat resistance (up to 250°C).
Iron Plug	Standard irons & boiler control boxes	Pin configuration, voltage (110V/220V), and amperage (10A–16A).

Replacement Planning for Routine Maintenance

Regular inspection and replacement of wearable components prevent downtime, reduce energy loss, and ensure finishing consistency.

Pressing Cloths

Replace when torn, heavily stained, or scorched.

Pressing Pads

Inspect monthly for compaction, scorch spots, or clogged passages. Hardened pads block vacuum airflow, causing seam marks and energy loss.

Iron Shoes (Teflon Covers)

Replace when the PTFE coating wears thin, scratches, or accumulates residue that transfers to light-colored garments.

Steam Hoses & Sleeves

Check weekly for braiding fraying, stiffness, or localized swelling. Replace immediately if surface cracking or steam leaks occur.

Iron Rests

Replace worn silicone pads if degraded or torn to ensure safe placement.

Iron Plugs

Inspect for scorched pins, loose wire clamps, or cracked housings. Replace faulty plugs immediately to maintain electrical insulation safety.

Bulk Purchasing & Order Configuration

We provide structured purchasing options for commercial importers, laundry distributors, and garment manufacturers to simplify inventory management and replenishment.

Assorted Consumable Kits: Pre-packaged maintenance sets containing matching iron shoes, steam hoses, silicone rests, and replacement plugs, sized specifically for Silver Star iron models.

Custom Dimensioning: Pressing pads and canvas covers are available in bulk rolls or pre-cut sheets tailored precisely to your commercial table dimensions.

Private Label & Packaging: We offer custom polybag labeling, barcode placement, and branded inner boxes for regional wholesale distributors.

Quotation Requirements: To ensure accuracy, please provide product names/part numbers, quantities (including mixed items), equipment models for compatibility, and specific packaging/labeling needs.

Order Management: MOQs, sample availability, payment terms, and lead times are confirmed based on your selection. For repeat orders, referencing your previous order details ensures consistency.

Packaging & International Shipment

We ensure all consumables are securely packed to withstand long-distance maritime and air transport without structural deformation or moisture damage.

Protective Boxing

Iron shoes and ceramic plugs are individually boxed with internal bubble wrap to prevent bending or chipping.

Moisture-Proof Sealing

Pressing pads and canvas cloths are vacuum-packed in heavy-gauge polyethylene film to prevent moisture absorption and mold growth.

Master Carton Loading

Hoses, pads, and hardware accessories are consolidated in double-wall corrugated cartons, strapped, and corner-reinforced on sea-freight pallets for safe container loading. Smaller items (like plugs) are grouped for easy counting.

Clear Identification for Mixed Shipments

We provide clear item descriptions and quantity labels to help you quickly check deliveries against purchase orders and distribute to different teams.

FAQ

Q: How do I choose the correct consumables for my equipment?

A: Check your equipment model, connection type, and dimensions. To ensure a perfect fit (e.g., for iron shoes or hoses), provide your specific model (like ES-300L) or exact measurements and photos of the existing part.

Q: How do I select the correct Iron Shoe size?

A: Measure the length and width of your iron's metal soleplate at its widest points and note the steam hole alignment. Standard sizes correspond directly to specific footprints like the ES-300L or ES-94AL.

Q: What is the benefit of silicone foam pressing pads over felt pads?

A: Silicone foam maintains its elasticity and thickness under continuous high heat and moisture much longer than traditional felt, preventing table hard spots and ensuring consistent steam passage.

Q: Are steam hoses interchangeable between different boiler brands?

A: Yes, generally, provided the thread connection sizes (commonly 1/4" BSP) and working pressure ratings match your boiler's output.

Q: Can iron shoes be cleaned if starch builds up?

A: Yes. Wipe the cool PTFE surface with a soft cloth, warm water, and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive pads or metal scrapers, which will scratch the non-stick coating.

Q: Can I order mixed consumables in one shipment?

A: Yes. You can combine pressing cloths, pads, iron shoes, hoses, rests, and plugs in a single inquiry to streamline your inventory replenishment and optimize shipping.

Q: What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) and Lead Time?

A: MOQs vary by product. Standard bulk orders have a lead time of 10–15 days, while customized packaging (OEM) takes 15–25 days. We will confirm the exact schedule based on your item list.

Q: What payment methods do you accept?

A: We accept T/T (30% advance deposit, 70% balance before shipment) or Irrevocable L/C at sight. Exact terms are specified in the Proforma Invoice (PI).

Q: How are the consumables packaged for export?

A: Iron shoes and ceramic plugs are individually boxed with bubble wrap. Pads and cloths are vacuum-packed in heavy-gauge polyethylene film for moisture protection. All are consolidated in reinforced double-wall cartons.

Q: Can you provide product dimensions before ordering?

A: Yes. Provide your equipment model or reference details, and we will verify the exact dimensions, thread sizes, and applicable specifications before order confirmation.
