A Thermal Laminating Machine for Two-Sided BOPP Applications
Many print service providers understand all too well the frustrations that come with two-sided BOPP applications. Unless a print shop has a specialized two-sided laminator for PET films, their thermal laminator is likely designed for single-sided applications only. This means any two-sided BOPP runs will take twice as long as each sheet must be laminated one side at a time by sending it through the laminating machine twice.
However, turning down two-sided print jobs can lead to missed sales and a more limited customer base. Double-sided applications also tend to be perceived as higher quality than single-sided prints, especially when a laminate with a tactile finish is used. Fortunately for printers who want to offer two-sided lamination for BOPP films, they can find an ideal solution in the Komfi® Amiga 52 Double laminating machine.
What Is the Amiga 52 Double Laminating Machine?
Able to perform single- or double-sided lamination as needed, the Amiga 52 Double from Komfi is by far the best laminator in the Nobelus equipment line for print service providers who mainly do single-sided BOPP lamination but also want the ability to laminate both sides of a sheet in a single run.
The Amiga 52 Double thermal laminator features a bottom film mandrel that can be easily engaged or disengaged depending on the needs of the job. This machine features burst separation, which makes it perfect for any application that makes use of BOPP laminates, such as brochures, business cards, greeting cards, and direct mail.
Beyond its ability to perform in-line double-sided lamination, the Amiga 52 Double offers print service providers a host of other benefits due to its high-quality Komfi engineering.
What Features Does the Amiga 52 Double Thermal Laminator Have?
Komfi is known for producing thermal laminators that run smoothly and offer printers a wide range of value-add features that make lamination highly efficient and painless for even new operators. The Amiga 52 Double boasts all the helpful features of other laminating machines in the Amiga 52 line.
- A specially designed automated Komfi deep-pile feed head with separating nozzles and guide plates that can be adjusted for thin sheets
- A user-friendly, centralized control panel with a touchscreen that enables operators to set run parameters, save settings between jobs, and troubleshoot issues quickly
- A detection system for changes in pressure, sheet separation, jams, and drops in temperature
- Air shafts for both the upper and lower film mandrels as well as PUR pressure rollers
- A de-curling unit, and a pneumatic pressure system that ensures each run supplies even pressure for consistent lamination results
