USING THE “TRACKING” METHOD 

 

CAUTION:

  The  following  procedure  is  performed 

while  the  laminator  is  hot.  Use  extreme  caution. 

Avoid  contact  with  the  heat  shoes.  The  following 

describes  a  method  for  loading  film  whereby  the 

existing  film  present  on  the  Heat  Shoes  may  be 

used in place of the threading card to draw the new 

film  through  the  laminator.  The  adhesive  of  the 

existing  film  must  be  tacky  or  liquefied.  Leading 

edges  of  the  new  film  will  be  overlapped  onto  the 

tacky adhesive of the old film. The existing film and 

the  new  film  will  be  pulled  “together”  through  the 

laminator.  Refer  to  the  diagram  for  threading 

directions of Poly-In and Poly-Out films 

 

Do not allow the adhesive side of the film to contact the 

Heat shoes, Nip Rollers or Pull Rollers. Liquefied or tacky 

adhesive deposited on Heat rollers will require the rollers to be cleaned (See section titled, “Caring for the 

GBC 5031TS Series Laminator”). 

1.  Preheat the laminator. Remove the Safety Shield and Feed Table. 

2.  Cut the existing top and bottom film webs between the supply rolls and the heat shoes. 

3.  Remove the top and bottom film supply shafts by pulling the Lateral Film Adjusters from their cradles and 

sliding the film shafts to the left until they clear the hex-shaped brake hubs.  

4.  To load new film onto the film supply shafts, repeat steps 6 and 7 in the previous section USING A FILM 

THREADING CARD. 

5.  To install the film shafts, repeat steps 8 and 9 for the bottom film and 10 and 11 for the top film from the 

previous section USING A FILM THREADING CARD. 

6.  Tack the new rolls of film to the existing film already webbed through the laminator. 

7.  Replace the feed tray and safety shield; close the rollers using the pressure handle and press RUN.  

8.  Observe the film being pulled through the laminator to assure that the remaining existing film and the new 

film are advancing concurrently. Any separation between the films will require stopping the motor 

immediately, and correcting the situation. 

9.  Adjust the top and bottom brakes to eliminate rivers and wrinkles in the films as they pass over the heat 

shoes. 

10.  Press “Stop” once the newly-threaded film web has completely exited the laminator. 

 

FILM ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE: 

It is highly recommended that you line up the edges of the new film before threading the laminator. 

1. Center the bottom roll of film to the sheet being fed from the feeder. 

2. Adjust the core adaptors by loosening the set screws on their outer edges. 

3. Bring the top roll of film down by unwinding several feet of film. 

4. Align the edges of the top film roll to that of the bottom film roll. 

 

For fine tuning the edges,  the film supply shafts of the GBC 5031TS laminators come with  Lateral Film 

Adjustment Knobs – see diagram (Fig. 28). Loosen the locking collar and rotate the adjustment knob in 

either direction to achieve the desired travel of the web. The unit has adjustment capabilities on both upper 

and lower film shafts. 

 

FILM TENSION ADJUSTMENT: 

Proper film tension, known as brake tension, is the minimum amount required to eliminate wrinkles or curl 

in the finished item. Tension adjustments are necessary if the film is curling up or down or if there are a lot 

of rivers and wrinkles in the finished product. 

The best way to test for film curl is to thoroughly trim a test product, and place it on a flat surface. You will 

easily be able to see if the film is curling.
