Installation
1-1
Selecting Area
Select an area that has a smooth, level surface for the laminator to set on, this will allow for easier
maneuverability of the machine if it requires moving later on. The area should be large enough to allow
an operator ample room to properly handle your largest product on the infeed and outfeed sides of the
laminator. The sides of the laminator should also be easily accessible in case service or maintenance is
required. AGL approximates this area should be about 7-8 feet in front and back of the machine and 3-4
feet on either end. This is only a suggestion, your plant and the products to be laminated will be the
determining factor.
Uncrating
Your new laminator may come in a full crate. The crate is designed to be usable for future shipping if
required, so careful disassembly of the crate is important if the crate is to be reused. The crate is held
together by screws (phillips head) a power screwdriver with a phillips bit is recommended but not required
for uncrating. First, remove the top of the crate, keep the screws for future use on the crate. Next,
remove the front of the crate (it is recommended that two people disassemble the crate, so one person
can hold the panels while the other removes the screws). Move around the crate and remove the
remaining panels. Remove the bolts holding the laminator down to the skid. A fork truck can now lift the
laminator off the skid (it is possible to get the laminator out of the crate after removing only the top and
front and the hold down bolts). With the laminator on the fork truck, thread the adjusting bolts into the
lower cross bar, make sure that the bolt heads are about ½” above the caster. Lower the machine down
onto the casters. With 3-4 people to guide the machine, roll the machine into the final position.
The laminator is a large heavy piece of equipment. Do not attempt to
move the machine with one person. Injury is possible as well as
permanent damage to the laminator. The laminator should only be
rolled on a relatively smooth and level surface. Tipping or forcing the machine over large bumbs
can destroy the alignment of the rolls, idlers, and unwind/windup shafts. This alignment is
required for proper lamination. Advanced Grieg Laminators, Inc.’s warranty does not cover
malfunction of the machine due to improper handling of the machine during installation
.
Turn the leveling bolts down until they touch the floor. Remove the shrink wrap, bands, and protective
coverings from the rolls.
Do Not use a knife or other sharp object to remove the shrink wrap
from the laminator and the protective coverings from the rolls. This
can cause irreparable damage to the laminator enclosures and rolls.
Leveling
The laminator has been trammed and burned in at the factory, but to insure the alignment of the machine
it must be leveled in its final position. To level the machine, set a level on the upper front unwind/windup
shaft. Turn the front leveling bolts until the bubble shows that the shaft is level. Repeat this procedure on
the upper rear unwind/windup shaft. Next place the level across the upper unwind/windup shafts (front to
rear) and adjust the leveling bolts to achieve a level reading. Repeat this procedure on the other end of
the machine. Be sure to check the left to right level as it may have shifted when leveling from front to
back. Repeat the previous procedures until you have a level reading at all four places. Tighten the jam
nuts on the leveling bolts up tight against the lower cross bar to lock the bolts in place.
Do Not lift the casters more than ½” off the floor. This will cause the
machine to be unstable
