Cold Laminating and Laminating Machine Core Summary
Cold laminating machine adopts cold pressing process to laminate the film
Gives pictures anti-corrosion, waterproof and anti-ultraviolet function
Key equipment for post-production protection of advertising images
Enhance the texture and durability by laminating.
Basic knowledge of cold laminator
Otherwise known as film laminator / laminating machine
Core component: Upper and lower rollers
Determines the quality and shelf life of the picture
Three technical parameters
Maximum Cold Laminating Thickness: Millimeter Unit
The thicker the supported media, the stronger the function
Maximum cold laminating width: length unit
The larger the width, the higher the equipment cost
Maximum cold laminating length: unlimited
Six-Step Operation Guide
Installation: Placement of a smooth working table
With special platform (1600mm wide)
The platform is 5mm below the edge of the machine
Material Placement: Consumables lay flat on the rollers
Coating side up aligned for feeding
Roller adjustment: Lift up the upper roller
Material penetrates 10cm out of the rollers
Laminating film alignment: Cold laminating film 10cm through the rollers
Precise alignment with the edge of the consumables
Tension balance: Adjust the tension at both ends.
Keep the pressure uniform
Laminating operation:
Empty walk test: Shake at a constant speed for 5 meters.
No wrinkles will be qualified
Formal lamination: Reverse the adhesive surface
Uncover the paper at an even speed
Five practical tips
Pre-treatment of uneven materials
Ruffles: baking treatment
Tight edges: hang to dry
Ensure ink is completely dry
Prevent blistering/pulling
Control the amount of powder sprayed for printing
De-powdering before lamination
Pay attention to the direction of paper strands
Thick paper to minimize curling and deformation
Temperature control 40-60°C
Copper plate paper is slightly lower than offset paper
Key Notes
The working table must be flat and stable
The material coating surface is always facing up
The pressure of the rubber roller is balanced at both ends
Unwrap the film at a constant speed
The direction of removing the release paper must be the same.
Points of dataization
Empty walking test standard: 5 meters without wrinkles
Temperature tolerance range: ±2°C
Roller pressure error: ≤0.5kg/cm².
Recommended laminating speed: 1.2-1.8m/min
