SEAL AquaSEAL SW-3000, Owner'S Operation Manual

Section 2.  Operating Procedures 

15 

4.  Run the Laminator 

1.  Adjust the Speed Control to “1” on the dial. 

2.  Raise the Tension Idler and adjust brakes lightly into the Tension and Web Idlers 

by turning clockwise. 

3.  Open the distribution valves on the applicator tube and ensure that the tips of the 

flex hoses are not clogged with dried coating.   Position hoses to deposit coating 
on the backside of the lower draw down bar. (Some coating may begin to drain 
out.) 

4.  Ensure that the Dryer Panel UP/DOWN switch is in the DOWN position. 

5.  Switch the machine into Run mode. (This will cause the Dryer Panel and the 

Draw Down Assembly to lower into operating position and the Drive to begin to 
move.) 

Note: 

At any time in machine operation the machine is sensing for movement in 
the Take-up system to ensure that the media is always moving.  If no 
motion is sensed, a 30 second timer is initiated that will shut the machine 
down if motion does not resume within the 30 second window.  

6.  Switch Sealant Pump ON. 

7.  Adjust Brake tension so that the material is pulling through smoothly with no 

wrinkles. 

8.  Adjust speed to desired setting. 

Note:

For most Superwide media a speed of 1–1.5M per minute (3-5 feet per 
minute) will give you the best results and ensure that the coating is cured.  

9.  When the media being coated comes to an end, the last piece will lose tension;  

you will need to manually provide back-tension as the media runs out. 

10. Prior to the last piece of media going past the Draw Down Assembly the Sealant 

Pump switch should be turned OFF and the Distribution Valves CLOSED. 

Note:

There is usually sufficient coating on the media to shut the Sealant Pump 
OFF 1M (3 feet) prior to the end of the material. 

11. Once the material is through the Dryer Panel, the machine should be switched 

back into Stop mode. 

12. The finished material is easily unloaded by switching the Take-up into disengage.  

This disengages the Take-up Roller motor and the material can be easily pulled 
off.  The disengage state of the Take-up is functional in all modes, including Stop 
mode.
