Bügelmaschine - ironing press. You might use commercial ironing for mangeln.

I see your problem: Mangeln ist das Bügeln in einer Bügelmaschine - maybe pressing is ironing with an ironing press
Note from asker:
I have already translated "Mangeln" with "mangle"; isn't there a synonym?
Peer comment(s):

agree Hildegard Klein-Bodenheimer (X) : If the context is clear you could use 'to press' as a second verb.
