Modern industrial wide-format laminators are increasingly designed to support faster production workflows. Depending on the machine configuration, industrial models can achieve significantly higher operating speeds while maintaining controlled temperature and pressure throughout the lamination process. For example, current industrial systems are available with speeds ranging from standard production levels up to 50 m/min for selected heavy-duty models.
We are proud to announce the official release of our new heating wide-format laminator machine, engineered to meet the growing demands of commercial print shops, sign makers, and industrial finishing lines worldwide. Combining rapid heat-up technology with precision roller pressure control, this machine delivers flawless lamination on large-format graphics, banners, and rigid substrates.
MEFU MF1700-M1 LITE Combines Heat Assist and Pneumatic Pressure for Wide Format Applications
MEFU has introduced the MF1700-M1 LITE, an entry-level heating wide-format laminator machine designed for signage, graphics, print finishing, and mounting applications.
Built for businesses looking for a balance between cost efficiency and professional lamination performance, the MF1700-M1 LITE features a pneumatic lifting system, a heat-assist top roller, and a maximum laminating width of 1630 mm (64 inches). The machine is designed for processing both roll-to-roll materials and rigid panels, supporting a variety of wide-format finishing requirements.
Wide Format Lamination up to 1630 mm
The MF1700-M1 LITE provides a maximum laminating width of 1630 mm, making it suitable for wide format graphics, advertising materials, signage, printed films, and other large-format applications.
With a maximum material thickness of 28 mm and a maximum laminating speed of 9 m/min, the machine can support both flexible media and selected rigid board applications. This flexibility allows print shops and graphics manufacturers to use one laminating system for different production tasks.
Heat-Assist Top Roller Supports Film Application
The heating wide-format laminator machine is equipped with a heat-assist top roller with a maximum temperature of 60°C.
Controlled heat can assist pressure-sensitive film applications and help operators achieve more stable contact between the film and printed material. This makes the MF1700-M1 LITE suitable for applications where consistent adhesion and surface finishing are important.
The heat-assist function is particularly useful for wide format graphics and film processing workflows that require controlled temperature and pressure during lamination.
Pneumatic Lifting System for Easier Pressure Adjustment
Unlike manual lifting systems, the MF1700-M1 LITE uses a pneumatic roller lifting system.
The pneumatic up-and-down design helps operators raise and lower the roller more easily while adjusting laminating pressure according to different materials and application requirements.
For production environments processing multiple media types, this design can simplify machine operation and reduce the effort required for roller adjustment.
120 mm Silicone Rollers for Even Pressure
The machine uses 120 mm glue-free silicone rollers designed for both roll-to-roll lamination and rigid panel applications.
The roller configuration helps distribute pressure across the working area, supporting more consistent film application and surface finishing when processing wide format materials.
For signage and graphics manufacturers, stable pressure distribution is an important consideration when working with large printed surfaces, adhesive films, and mounting materials.
Auto-Locked Roll Shafts Improve Media Handling
The MF1700-M1 LITE is equipped with auto-locked exchangeable roll shafts.
The upgraded shaft caps and holders are designed to make media loading and unloading more convenient. This feature supports roll material handling and can help simplify changeovers between different films and media types.
The machine also incorporates an anti-static string to help reduce static during material processing.
Adjustable Vertical Cutter for Flexible Trimming
For finishing operations, the laminator can be equipped with adjustable vertical cutters.
The cutter system includes three trimmer holder positions with two single blades and one double central blade configuration. The cutting positions can be adjusted according to media width and production requirements.
This integrated trimming capability can support a more streamlined workflow by combining laminating and material finishing operations.
Designed for Signage, Graphics and Print Finishing
The MF1700-M1 LITE heating wide format laminator machine is suitable for applications including:
- Wide format signage lamination
- Digital print finishing
- Graphic film application
- Roll-to-roll lamination
- Rigid panel mounting
- Advertising material finishing
- Protective film application
- Vehicle graphic and film processing
Its 1630 mm working width, pneumatic lifting system, heat-assist roller, and 120 mm silicone rollers provide a practical configuration for businesses requiring wide format lamination without moving to a higher-level industrial production system.
A Cost-Effective Wide Format Laminating Solution
The MF1700-M1 LITE is positioned as a practical entry-level roll-to-roll laminator for businesses that require wide format capacity, pneumatic roller operation, and heat-assist lamination.
By combining a 1630 mm working width, 9 m/min maximum speed, pneumatic lifting, 120 mm silicone rollers, and a top heating system up to 60°C, the machine provides a balanced solution for signage production, graphics finishing, and professional film application.
For print shops, advertising companies, graphics manufacturers, and film application businesses, the MF1700-M1 LITE offers a cost-effective option for handling a wide range of roll and panel lamination tasks while maintaining controlled pressure and temperature during processing.
