5 Adjustment of the
laminator
5.1 Adjustment of the pressure
Generally the pressure is adjusted by lifting and lowering the top
roller. In order to make the right adjustment use a piece of a ma-
terial in the same thickness as the substrate or the picture which
has to be laminated. Lay the substrate/picture in-between the
rollers and lower the top roller with the hand wheel. The hand
wheel has to be turned until the top roller lies on and grips the
material (“contact zone”). From this point turn the hand wheel
clockwise approx. 30, maximal 40 degrees more.
ATTENTION: Too much pressure can cause the occurrence
of waves!

5.2 Adjustment of the brakes
The supply shafts are equipped with an integrated brake mecha-
nism in the quick gripping cones (A). This allows the film to be as
tight as required. There is no parameter that determines the exact
tension – this depends on numerous factors. Every material has
its own specific properties which can change in subject to tem-
perature, humidity, adhesive type, consistence of the film etc.
You can say that you have ideal conditions if the film spreads
over the top roller and goes into the rollers without wrinkles with
minimum braking effect. The search for this balance starts from
the point where the brakes have a small effect and must be in-
creased little by little.
