Details
Laminator
Footprint of 2.9 m x 1.5 m (9.5’ x 4.9’)
Laminating nip pressure up to 6 metric tonnes
Very heavy duty build quality - 25 mm (1”) thick steel side plates with 150 mm (6”) x 75 mm (3”) steel support beams
250 mm (10”) diameter highly polished chrome laminating roller
Film is mounted on a quick-change airshaft

Swiss made water heater with accurate temperature control up to 140°C (280°F)
Feeder
A rising pile, back separation Heidelberg Speedmaster 74 feed head & a vacuum feed table.
The feed head is processor controlled, resulting in an accurate under-lap.
The feeder is fitted with a mill skid plate, allowing a full pallet of print to be loaded directly from the printing press.
Sheeter
Integral bump roller separator runs in-line.
Features include an adjustable anti curl bar, pneumatically adjustable in-feed nip rollers, and a pneumatic air clutch to give a constant tension between the laminator and the sheeter, producing flat sheets.
Sheets are delivered into a vibrating jogger as standard, or an optional full pile Stacker (S).
Perfector (Optional)
A litho printing term for two sides in one pass.
Additional quick-change airshaft and heated rollers to allow two sided laminating, with a chill roller to cool the product prior to delivery.
Stacker (Optional)
Mirror image of feeder complete with mill skid plate that returns laminated sheets back into pile form.
A photoelectric cell detects the front of the incoming sheet and opens four pneumatic joggers whilst activating three under sheet air blasts to float the sheet across the pile.
Slow down drop wheels and the pneumatic joggers position the sheet on the pile.
Magnet (Optional)
An in-line system for production of laminated magnet products such as business cards and fridge magnets.
Additional mandrel mount for reel feed SRA3 (12 1/2" x 17 3/8") sized PSA magnet material and additional pneumatic clutch fitted to bottom airshaft to rewind release liner backing paper from magnet reel.
