Function: LAMINATE

Laminate, glue up, lay up, layering ... different terms for making sandwiches of core substrate material with facing sheets on one or both sides. This general principle underlies many processes from film lamination to laying up wall, ceiling and floor panels. Pressure roll laminators frequently follow glue spreading or coating operations in a production line; for that reason, many of the laminators and panalizing machines illustrated below have companion machines in our Coat and Glue sections. Union Tool laminators and panelizers are available in roll widths from 6" to 120".

Here are a few samples that illustrate the LAMINATE function in action:

	AUTOMATIC HITCH-FEED LAMINATOR SYSTEM FOR COATING PUR HOT-MELT TO WEB-FEED ARTWORK — This complete laminator system pulls artwork from an unwind station and coats the top surface with PUR hot-melt adhesive in a specified area, then pulls the spot-coated artwork into a hydraulic die-cut and lamination press.

	110-inch ROTARY LAMINATOR — A really big rotary laminator for wall panels, ceiling panels and floor panels in the recreational vehicle (RV), mobile home, and fifth-wheel towables industries. Provides laminating pressure for panel sandwiches of substrate cores and facing sheets. Combined with the Union Tool 110" Dual Head Hot Melt Roller Coater, this makes a complete laminating station for very large panels.

	HOT ROLL LAMINATOR — Union Tool hot roll film laminators speed production line application of protective films to one or both sides of EPS foam cores. The programmable controller assures tight tolerances for both roll temperature and line speed. Processes foam cores up to 4' wide by 12' long.
