The FOLIANT Mercury 400 NG is a very compact industrial laminating machine constructed for heavy-duty digital and offset output. It is equipped with a Foliant integrated suction feeder and a high-speed bump separator. Several options are available for the Mercury machine – Foliant Foiler, non-sticky pressure roller, pallet stacker, etc. Due to its high-pressure system, format and performance the machine is suitable for all jobs – all kinds of digitally printed sheets and high volumes of offset printed sheets size 14” x 20” for lamination. The machine maximum speed is up to 88 ft./min., while performance is 3,240 sheets per hour of 14” x 20” portrait (white paper 200 gsm).
LAMINATOR
The FOLIANT Mercury 400 NG laminator maximum sheet size is 15.7” x 27.5”. The minimum sheet size is 12.5” x 7.8”. The FOLIANT
Mercury 400 NG machine is a single-sided thermal industrial laminator, laminating 115 – 600 gsm paper.
The laminating unit is equipped with an adjustable twin de-curl unit.
- With a de-curl blade for offset printed sheets
- With a de-curl roller for digitally printed sheets (to prevent scratches on digitally printed sheets printed on both sides with sensitive inks)
The roll of film is mounted on a quick-changed shaft with a film tension control breaker. The shaft capacity is up to 9,842’ of the 24 - 42 microns film. The film holder unit is equipped with a trim slitter and a perforating wheel.
The laminating process is made between two laminating rollers - a highly polished chrome roller, and a lower hard rubber pressure roller. The laminating roller is heated with a dry electric system inside the roller with a sensitive temperature sensor. The warm up time is shorter than 10 minutes. The pressure is pneumatically adjustable, with an extra independent control knob for each roller edge.
The machine is fitted with OMRON Programmable Logic Controllers which controls all of the machine’s functions. The used PLC system includes many automation items for easy control of the machine and reliable lamination. The whole machine is controlled by an interactive easy-to-understand icon touchscreen panel – no language version is needed.
