| | Jan 31, 2010 — Designed to process sheet or roll goods, including rubber, plastic, foam, textiles, and other materials, the 60" Heat Laminating System from Ttarp Industries, Inc., Buffalo, New York, will laminate, slit and rewind hot or cold adhesive systems (tapes) on one complete machine.
According to Ttarp, the new laminator features a heated aluminum drum plus solid-state automatic temperature controls to ensure precise, even heat. The 180-degree round drum provides full contact with the adhesive product to eliminate "edge curl."
The company states that two sets of adjustable double-pinch rollers control curl and improve adhesion. They are powered by a variable-speed drive that operates independently from the rewind unit. The first set of rollers will set and join the material without stretching or distortion. The second set then compresses the material to create a final, high-strength bond.
The new Ttarp laminator is available with score cutters or rotating knives to cut the web to width as the material is laminated. Adjustable torque controls are said to provide precise rewind tensioning. A variety of other standard and optional features are available to meet custom applications. | |
