rollers to reach their set temperature. See Table 1 for the suggested temperature
ranges. Ensure you are using quality film. If the temperature is set correctly and the film
is not bonding then the film is most likely bad.
PROBLEM:
Wrinkles on laminated item running parallel with supply
rolls.
ACTION:
Increase film mandrel tension on top and/or bottom supply rolls; only
small amounts between tests. Reduce roller temperature.
PROBLEM:
Stretch lines appear on laminated items running parallel with
the outside edges.
ACTION:
Increase supply mandrel tension on top and/or bottom supply rolls. Reduce roller
temperature. Clean rollers of residual adhesive. See MAINTENANCE section for cleaning
instructions.
PROBLEM:
Blistering of the film appears over the item or along the edge.
ACTION:
Reduce roller temperature. Clean laminating rollers. See MAINTENANCE section for
cleaning instructions. There may be moisture in the paper you are laminating. Store
paper in a dry place and be sure that any ink is thoroughly dry before laminating.
PROBLEM:
Laminated material curls after leaving pull rollers.
ACTION:
Adjust tension. If laminated item curls upwards, reduce top mandrel tension. If item
curls downward, reduce bottom mandrel tension. Clean rollers of residual adhesive as it
may be causing “drag” on one side. Refer to MAINTENANCE section for cleaning
instructions.
PROBLEM:
Machine smokes and emits fumes.
ACTION:
Reduce temperature. Never exceed 300°F, unplug machine and thoroughly clean rollers.
PROBLEM:
Temperature inaccurate, machine overheating.
ACTION:
Ensure temperature sensor (behind top roller) is in firm contact with roller. See diagram
on next page.
