Due to its format and performance, the machine is suitable for all jobs - all kinds of digitally printed sheets and high volumes of offset printed sheet sizes 14" x 20" for lamination. The machine maximum speed is up to 88 ft/min in single-side lamination or 82 ft/min double-sided lamination, while performance is up to 3,240/3,000 sheets per hour of 12" x 14" portrait (white paper 200 gsm)
LAMINATOR
The FOLIANT Mercury 400 NG 4x4 laminator’s maximum sheet size is 15.7” x 27.5”, extendable to 39.3” with the optional XL module. The minimum sheet size is 12.6” x 9.8” (A4). The FOLIANT Mercury 400 NG 4x4 machine is a double-sided thermal industrial laminator, laminating the 115 – 600 gsm paper, with an unique “U” cross bar for the perfect lamination of thin sensitive sheets.
The laminating unit is equipped with an adjustable twin de-curl unit:
-With a de-curl blade for offset printed sheets
-With a de-curl roller for digital printed sheets (to prevent scratches on digitally printed sheets printed on both sides with sensitive inks)
The rolls of film are mounted on shafts that allow precise film positioning by screws. Each shaft capacity is up to 9,842’ of the 24 - 42 microns film. Both film holders are equipped with a trim slitter and a perforating wheel.
The laminating process is made between a pair of laminating rollers for each side - a highly polished chrome roller and a hard rubber pressure roller. Both chrome rollers are heated with a dry electric system. The warm up time is less than 10 minutes. The pressure is pneumatically adjustable with an extra independent control knob for each pressure roller edge.
The machine is fitted with OMRON PLC, which controls all of the machine’s functions. The PLC system includes many automation items for easy control of the machine and reliable lamination. The whole machine is controlled by an interactive easy-to-understand icon touchscreen panel – no language version is needed.
