The FOLIANT Taurus 400 NG is a very compact industrial laminating machine, constructed for heavy-duty digital and offset work. It is equipped with an integrated Foliant suction feeder and a high-speed bump separator and many options like a Non-sticky Roller, Pallet Stacker or Foliant Foiler. 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’s maximum speed is up to 131 ft./min., while performance is 4,800 sheets per hour of 14” x 20” portrait (white paper 200 gsm).
LAMINATOR
The FOLIANT Taurus 400 NG laminator’s maximum sheet size is 15.7” x 27.5”. The minimum sheet size is 12.6” x 7.8”. 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 digital printed sheets. (to prevent scratches on two-sided digitally printed sheets with sensitive inks).
The roll of film is mounted on an air shaft that allows for very convenient, easy and precise film positioning. 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 equipped with “full internal surface contact” electronic heating system. It consists of several heating rings mounted inside the roller. This gives stable, even heating across the full diameter of the main roller and delivers consistent temperature even at high speed. A sensitive temperature sensor is also inside the roller as close to the surface as possible. The warm-up time is less than 10 minutes. The pressure is pneumatically adjustable with an extra independent control knob for each roller edge.
The machine is fitted with an OMRON Programmable Logic Controllers which controls all of the machine’s functions. The PLC system includes many automation items for easy control of the machine and reliable lamination. The interactive, color touchscreen panel is intuitive and icon-based for user-friendly operation. No language translation is needed.
