Thermal laminating - loading
Step 1
The most critical thing to remember during loading is that the film must be loaded so that the
adhesive always faces away from the rollers.
The non adhesive side is the only side that can touch
the rollers. Allowing the adhesive side to come in contact with the rollers may cause film wrap ups and
roller damage.
If you are using a gloss film, the non shiny side is the adhesive side. Some film comes with a sticker
indicating the adhesive side.
Take the mandrel with the large pulley, and load it so that the film unwinds from the back, with the matt
side facing you. Load this mandrel onto the laminator. Now take the lower mandrel and load the film so
that the matt side comes up from the rear, with the matt side facing you.
Step 2
Adjust the thermostat to the temperature recommended by
the film manufacturer. This is most likely around 120C / 250
F. Heat up time is around 5 minutes. This will give you time
to position the film so that you are ready to load.
Pull the film from the top roller so that it passes under the
top idler bar, and lies across the top roller.
Step 3
Pull the film around the lower idler bar, and bring it up so that
it lays over the top roller and the film. By now the machine
should be well on the way to being hot enough to laminate.
Once the machine is hot enough, the film will become clear
where it is contacting the heater bar and upper roller, and
the thermostat lamp will go out.
