Related Product Features:
  • Classic hand crank control provides micro-level adjustment of roller pressure and gap for precise lamination.
  • Premium 130mm diameter silicon rollers maximize dwell time for bubble-free, high-quality finishes.
  • Dual-rail lifting system maintains perfect roller parallelism to prevent material skew and tilt.
  • Heavy-duty construction handles thick materials up to 23mm including foam boards and delicate substrates.
  • Auto-locked exchangeable shafts enable quick film roll changes to boost shop throughput.
  • Foot pedal switch offers hands-free operation for efficient piece-to-piece lamination tasks.
  • Heat-assist capability up to 60°C/140°F reduces silvering during cold lamination processes.
  • Robust manual system ensures exceptional reliability with lower maintenance costs than automated alternatives.
FAQs:
  • What are the main advantages of the hand crank control system?
    The hand crank provides immediate, micro-level control over roller pressure and gap, allowing operators to precisely adjust for different materials. This tactile control prevents crushing delicate substrates while ensuring complete adhesion, and works with the dual-rail system to maintain perfect roller parallelism across the full 64-inch width.
  • How do the 130mm silicon rollers improve lamination quality?
    The large 130mm diameter silicon rollers increase dwell time - the duration media spends under heat and pressure. This extended contact period allows air to escape completely for bubble-free results and helps activate adhesives fully to reduce silvering, especially during heat-assist cold lamination applications.
  • What makes this laminator suitable for heavy-duty professional use?
    The MF1700-M5 features industrial-grade components including robust silicon rollers resistant to heat and deflection, capacity for materials up to 23mm thick, and a simplified manual system that ensures long-term reliability with minimal maintenance. It handles continuous roll-to-roll operation at speeds up to 7m/min while offering quick film changeovers and hands-free foot pedal control.
