The film holder unit is equipped with a trim slitter and a perforating wheel.
The laminating process is done between two laminating rollers – a highly polished chrome roller, and a lower hard rubber pressure roller. The laminating roller is heated with an infra-red heating spiral, with a sensitive contact temperature sensor. The pressure is pneumatically adjustable to achieve an extra high pressure between the laminating rollers.
The laminating unit is equipped with an adjustable twin decurl unit:
- A decurl blade for offset printed sheets decurling
- A decurl roller for digital printed sheets decurling, to prevent scratches on sheets printed on both sides by digital print with sensitive inks.
Laminating Book Covers
The Foliant Gemini C 400 is a manual feeding unit, it is equipped with a synchronized feeding conveyor and an adjustable side guider for an easy loading. Sheet separation is also a manual process. However, due to the perforation of film, done in the process of laminating, the whole process is easy. Additionally, the machine can be upgraded with an automatic separator at a later time. The belt separator (sheeter) is equipped with a separating roller and a deflection wheel. The separated sheets are delivered into a reception unit or a vibrating jogger (options).

The machine laminates the OPP films 1 – 1.7 mil (23-42 microns) and Nylon films max. 1.3mil (35 microns).
