MEFU MF1700-F1 Installed at RPC “Tsekhkom” to Support Wide-Format Graphic Finishing

MEFU has completed the installation of the MF1700-F1 wide-format laminator at RPC “Tsekhkom” in Krasnodar. The company works in outdoor and indoor advertising, integrated entrance design, and artistic metalworking, where finishing quality and material handling are important parts of the production workflow.

The MF1700-F1 is a semi-automatic laminator designed for applications within 1630 mm / 64" working width. It is positioned as an economical solution for jobs that require heating up to 120°C, making it suitable for a range of laminating, mounting, and encapsulating tasks.

Why the MF1700-F1 Fits This Type of Production

For companies handling signage, display graphics, and custom visual work, a laminator needs to support different media types while keeping operations controlled and repeatable. The MF1700-F1 uses a classic hand crank for height and pressure adjustment, along with a front control panel and auto-locked exchangeable shafts, which support practical day-to-day use in a production environment.

The machine is also built with a stronger frame, large-diameter silicon rollers, and a steady pressure system. According to the official specifications, it uses 130 mm silicon rollers and a top-heated configuration, which is suitable for hot laminating work and finishing tasks that require controlled heat and pressure.

Key Features of the MF1700-F1

In addition, the model includes an anti-static string to help reduce static during high-speed lamination, and safety is supported by a laser eye and emergency buttons. The front working table is designed with a tilted structure for easier material loading and unloading.

Application Value in Advertising and Sign Work

For a company like RPC “Tsekhkom,” which handles both advertising and artistic metalworking projects, a laminator is not just a finishing machine. It is part of the workflow that supports graphic protection, board mounting, and preparation of wide-format materials for installation.

The MF1700-F1 is suitable for common wide-format finishing needs such as advertising graphics, indoor and outdoor signage, mounting, and encapsulation. Its structure and heating capability make it a practical choice for production teams that work with different substrates and need flexible finishing options.

From Laminating to Automated Finishing

For print service providers seeking greater workflow efficiency, laminating is often only one step in the finishing process. After printing and lamination, trimming and cutting remain critical stages before graphics are ready for delivery or installation.

To support this workflow, MEFU also offers the MF1700-XY Roll Cutter, which can be integrated with laminating operations to create a more streamlined print-finish-cut process. The system combines horizontal and vertical cutting functions with automatic correction technology, helping maintain cutting accuracy while reducing manual handling between production stages.

As sign and graphics businesses continue to pursue greater automation, solutions that integrate printing, laminating, and cutting can simplify production workflows and improve operational efficiency.
