Used Laminating in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

Check rollers and sleeves for wear, heater and control panels, pumps and metering systems, web tension systems, drive motors, and condition of entry/exit guides. Ask for recent service records and a live run test with similar materials.

Match web width and maximum line speed to your highest-volume job, and ensure the machine’s heating/drying capacity and unwind/rewind sizes support your rolls. Leave some margin for future growth.

Confirm voltage, phase and amperage, compressed air pressure/flow, steam or hot oil systems if used, and any cooling or ventilation needs. Verify site capacity before delivery.

Use heavy-duty crating, secure movable parts, drain fluids, lock or remove delicate rollers, and work with carriers experienced in industrial web equipment. Consider partial disassembly and professional rigging.

Parts availability varies by make and age. Common items like rollers, bearings, adhesives, and heaters are usually obtainable, but custom doctor blades or obsolete controls may require aftermarket or refurbished solutions.

Regularly clean rollers and heaters, inspect seals and bearings, calibrate tension and metering systems, replace worn sleeves and belts, check electrical connections, and follow manufacturer lubrication and inspection intervals.
