Maintenance Tips for Film Laminating Machine

Definition of Film Laminating Machine

A film laminating machine is a device that coats plastic film with adhesive and presses it together with printed materials (using paper as the substrate) under pressure from a rubber roller and a heated roller, forming a unified paper-plastic product. Lamination machines are broadly used across various fields, such as outer packaging of paper products, packaging, and decoration of fruits, vegetables, and daily commodities.

Precautions for Using Film Laminating Machine

• The lamination workshop should be kept clean, hygienic, and free of dust and moisture.

• Before lamination, wipe the dust off the equipment and lamination rollers to ensure lamination quality.

• While the film laminating machine is operating, do not insert fingers between the rollers to avoid injury, and do not touch the rollers to prevent burns.

• Do not disassemble the machine's cabinet door while the film laminating machine is in operation to avoid electric shocks or gear injuries.

• The electrical system of the film laminating machine should be kept well-insulated to prevent moisture. When stopping the machine, power should be cut off to prevent accidents.

• During inspections or maintenance, if oil stains are found under the bearings, clean them to prevent oil from flowing into other components and affecting the machine's normal operation.

• When using the machine, clean the dust off each roller surface. Also, check if the surfaces of all rollers are clean and even. If any abnormal noise or fault is found, contact the maintenance department immediately. Only use the machine after ensuring it is functioning normally.

• To ensure lamination quality, it is strictly prohibited to place any tools, parts, or miscellaneous items on the machine to avoid deformation from pressure.

Maintenance of Film Laminating Machine

• After each use, be sure to clean the film laminating machine immediately to prevent it from affecting the lamination quality the next time. Use adhesive diluent and a soft towel for cleaning, and absolutely avoid using sharp objects to touch or scrape the surface of the lamination rollers; otherwise, it may destroy the smoothness of the lamination rollers or completely ruin them.

• If the rollers need to stop rotating for a long period, turn off the heating elements first to prevent the high temperature from damaging the rollers and affecting their temperature balance, directly impacting the lamination effect.

• Ensure long-term cleanliness of the film laminating machine, especially the rollers, platform, and balancing rollers; inspect them once per day for every shift.

• During lamination, ensure that the lamination film core is tightly secured between the fixing clips to avoid lamination quality issues caused by uneven tension.

• When operating the touch screen, do not apply excessive force and do not use hard objects to press the screen surface.

• Regularly lubricate each transmission part and sliding surface of the film laminating machine to ensure it operates in a well-lubricated state.

• If the film laminating machine is used daily, lubricate the drive chain with a small amount of machine oil once a month and clean the chain every six months. Conduct a comprehensive inspection of the film laminating machine annually, addressing any found issues promptly.
