Laminator Operating Modes

The laminator can process all cold and hot laminating pouches in the thicknesses 75 μ, 80 μ and 125 μ.

Hot Laminating
When “hot laminating” mode is active, the laminating pouch is heated to a temperature of approx. 130 °C to 160 °C as it passes through the laminator rollers. This creates a permanent thermal bonding of the laminated material and the laminating pouch. Hot lamination permanently prevents the laminated material from coming into contact with water, oxygen and bacteria.

Cold Laminating
When “cold laminating” mode is active, the laminating pouch is heated to a temperature of approx. 25 °C. The laminating pouches are coated with a special adhesive. The sides of the laminating pouches are pressed together during the laminating process. A detachable bond is produced and the material can be removed if necessary without any damage.

Positioning and Starting Up the Laminator
