Is there an appropriate filtered dry air supply avail-
able?
The machine requires filtered dry air at 1.5 cubic
feet per minute (cfm), 50 liters/minute at a pressure
of 100 pounds per square inch (psi) (700 kPa). The
air supply must be clean (free of dirt) and dry.
Moisture causes corrosion and particles block
pneumatic controls. Either problem can cause the
laminator to malfunction.
It is the customer's responsibility to provide appro-
priate filters and water traps for the air hose before
the air is routed to the laminator. Pro-Tech suggests
that the best approach to the air requirement is to
provide a dedicated small compressor for the lami-
nator. A standard light-duty ½ to ¾ horse power (1
kW) electric air compressor with 1.5 to 2.5 cfm
output with a 5 gallon (20 liter) storage tank is
appropriate.
IMPORTANT
The air supply to the laminator must be clean
and dry or the machine will be damaged.
