General Maintenance
The most expensive part of a laminator is usually the rollers. If these become damaged they are costly
to repair. Always ensure you look after the rollers and clean them regularly to avoid a
build-up of glue (see advice below). Never hold a sharp object such as a knife close to
the rollers in case of catching the rubber as this could cause permanent damage that
will effect the result of your work.
When your laminator is cooling down, always separate the rollers using the roller
pressure control, this will ensure that your rollers do not touch when still hot as this
could leave a ‘flat spot’.
Cleaning the rollers
It is easier to remove adhesive from the rollers when they are warm. Do not attempt
this if the system is hot (above 40oC). Always use a clean cloth and a mild anti-static
foam cleaner such as Amberclens by Ambersil or similar. Do not use a heavy-duty
solvent or anything abrasive.
If the film becomes jammed in the system in any way and there is a large build-up of
adhesive, do not try and remove this yourself. Contact us for advice.
