TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT & FUNCTION CONTROLS

Select “UP” or “DOWN” controls to adjust the
roller laminating temperature.
Manually adjust the roller temperatures to
suit the thickness of laminating stock.

Select function to ‘MEASURE’ the actual
temperature of rollers.
The button can be pressed anytime for an im­mediate read out in the temperature display.

Select function for laminating with ‘CARRIER’.
The function for laminating pouches with
Carriers. The function selects 100°c and motor
speed “2”.

Select function for ‘HOT’ lamination. Hot lamination for normal hot pouch films. For 80mic pouch, the machine will select
temperature of 90°c and motor speed of “5”. This is ideal for 80g copy paper and 80mic pouch. For thicker pouches, select the
corresponding engine speed followed by temperature adjustment. Adjustment to temperature using “UP” and “DN” buttons to
suit the thickness of paper as required.
EG:
250 micron = motor speed 2
200 micron = motor speed 3
175 micron = motor speed 3
150 micron = motor speed 3
125 micron = motor speed 5
100 micron = motor speed 5
80 micron = motor speed 5

thickness. The function selects temperature 130°c and
motor speed “1”.

Select function for ‘COLD’ or no-heat lamination.
Cold lamination automatically selects temperature and
motor speed of “0”. If roller temperature is above 60°c,
motor speed of “2” will operate until rollers have cooled
safely. This action will prevent heat damage to the
rollers.

Select function for ‘PRE-HEAT’ .
