D-Lam EVO 140C koud laminator

The Easylam 140C supports a maximum thickness (roller gap) of 40 mm, which allows for processing a variety of rigid substrates such as foam board, sandwich panels, thick sign boards, and more. However, optimal lamination on thick materials often depends on fine calibration of roller pressure, speed settings, and tension balance. It’s recommended to run test samples gradually increasing thickness and to monitor for any signs of edge lift, buckling, or pressure unevenness.

• Speed I (2.5 m/min): Best suited for delicate, high-precision jobs, sensitive substrates, or thicker media where slower, more controlled lamination helps prevent defects.
• Speed II (3.5 m/min): Ideal for standard runs on stable media where faster throughput is desired. Always start with Speed I for unknown or new media to test lamination behavior, then shift to Speed II once reliable parameters are established.

The machine includes “SOFT” and “OPTIMAL” preset modes for roller closing. These help quickly set baseline pressure. For finer adjustment, you can use the manual up/down keys to fine-tune pressure. Always test with small samples across the width, checking for adhesion consistency, absence of bubbles, and lack of edge curling. If pressure is too low, lamination may delaminate; if too high, media may deform or cause wrinkles.

• The slip-clutch mechanism halts roller movement if excessive force is encountered, helping prevent finger traps and damage.
• Side covers protect access to the electrical and mechanical internals and should only be removed by authorized personnel. Operators should still observe general safety: never insert fingers between rollers while running, stay clear of pinch points, and keep the workspace clean and free of loose debris or cables.

Yes — the Easylam 140C supports roll-to-roll workflows. It includes a motorized rewinder for the liner/foil and an integrated braking mechanism to regulate tension. The autogrip scroller helps insert the media, and the braking mechanism ensures wrinkle-free lamination even when handling long lengths.

• Clean rollers regularly (e.g. with isopropyl alcohol or manufacturer-recommended solution) to remove adhesive residue, dust, or debris.
• Check roller alignment and pressure calibration periodically, especially when switching media types.
• Inspect and lubricate scroller bearings and brake mechanisms if they show stiffness.
• Keep side covers in place and ensure no dust or particles enter the machine internals.
• After a slip‑clutch event, re-evaluate pressure settings before restarting to avoid repeating stress.

Yes — the “SOFT” roller mode helps reduce pressure to protect delicate films during lamination. But extreme caution is needed: use slower speed and manual adjustments, maintain even tension, and ensure the film is flat and free of pre-stress before feeding.

With proper maintenance, the mechanical design of the Easylam 140C is intended for many years of continuous service. The rubber rollers may wear over time, depending on use and media type, and might require replacement periodically. The slip-clutch, brakes, and motors are industrial grade, but like all mechanical systems, long-term reliability depends heavily on how well the operator maintains and calibrates the unit.

As a cold laminator, the Easylam 140C is ideal for media sensitive to heat (like some prints, films, adhesives). While hot laminators offer faster curing of adhesives and better bonding in some scenarios, they also carry more thermal risk to media. The Easylam 140C’s cold process reduces thermal stress, making it safer for heat-sensitive prints, backlit media, and certain foils. For users needing both, having both cold and hot systems in your workflow is beneficial.

• Wrinkles or bubbles: Often caused by uneven tension, incorrect pressure settings, or misaligned media. Solution: reduce pressure, re-center media, and reset appropriate braking.
• Edge lifting / delamination: If pressure is too low at the edges, increase roller closing or re-balance tension.
• Roller sticking or drag: Probably due to adhesive residue; clean the rollers.
• Slip-clutch trips frequently: May indicate overload, misadjusted pressure, or foreign debris between rollers. Clear media and re-test with lower pressure.
• Uneven winding of liner: Adjust the braking control on the rewind mechanism to even out tension and ensure uniform winding.
