HMT Manufacturing Flexible Laminator

 

Operating an HMT Laminator

With the Flexible Laminator you have two modes that the operator can use:
(1) Roll Feed to Rigid Substrate and
(2) Roll Feed to Roll Feed.

The following is a brief synopsis of the roll feed to rigid substrate. For a more detailed operation, please call 1-800-433-0730 or view our video located on this website


1 As the substrate enters the in- feed area, glue web is applied from the glue web payout. A cordless scissors, shop knife or hot knife cut off is then used to separate the adhesive from the roll. You can run continuously without any cutting of the adhesive until your production is finished.

2 While the above is being processed, the roll stock material is positioned on the top on the chrome roller.

3 The substrate with the glue web is conveyed into the activation area. Infrared heat bank flash activates the glue web while in motion.

4 Just as the rigid substrate enters the rip rolls the roll stock meets the substrate. Both enter the powered pinch roller then exit the out-feed conveyor.

5 The panel is now ready for immediate fabrication.
