Preface-General Description Preface Your Advanced Greig Laminators, Inc. (AGL) laminator is a finely engineered and designed piece of equipment. Standard equipment includes a 1/2 HP DC drive (variable and reversible), manually operated brake and clutch, plus an air-operated laminating section with easily adjustable spacer system for controlled laminating nip opening.
Installation Selecting Area Select an area that has a smooth, level surface for the laminator to set on, this will allow for easier maneuverability of the machine if it requires moving later on. The area should be large enough to allow an operator ample room to properly handle your largest product on the infeed and outfeed sides of the laminator.
Installation Electrical Connection Refer to the Electrical Requirements under Specifications for the proper requirements for your laminator. All connections to components and terminal blocks should be checked for tightness before initial startup. This will help avoid and electrical problems caused by connections that may have loosened due to vibration during shipping.
Specifications Machine Dimensions Length: 88” Height: 60” Depth: 38” Weight: 2100 lbs. Electrical Requirements 220/230 VAC single phase, 50/60 Hz, 60 Amp service. Pneumatic Requirements Approximately 2-3 cfm at 60-90 psi line pressure supplied via your cleaned/dried/regulated plant air. Material Capacity Upper Front Station: 10”...
Safety IMPORTANT READ THIS SECTION BEFORE OPERATING YOUR LAMINATOR General Machine Safety The following messages are written here for your safety, all operators and others around the laminator should read, understand and follow these messages. 1. Read and understand all the safety instructions. 2.
Operation General 1. Power: A circuit breaker switch is located on the lower right rear of the machine to turn power on and off. 2. Reset: Located on the right rear enclosure, the reset button is used to start the machine initially and restart the machine after an E-stop condition has occurred.
Operation Front Right Control Panel The front right control panel looks like the figure below. Top Roller Controls: Two position switch opens and closes the nip rolls. The regulator adjusts the air pressure to the cylinders that create the pressure on the nip rolls. The gauge indicates air pressure which allows for repeatable results.
Operation Front Left Control Panel The front left control panel looks like the figure below. Upper Roll Heat Control: Two position switch turns heater for upper roll on and off. The temperature controller allows the operator to set a desired temperature for the process. The controller will maintain that temperature during the process.
Operation Rear Right Control Panel The rear right control panel looks like the figure below. Top Pull Roller Control: Two position switch opens and closes the pull rolls. The regulator adjusts the air pressure to the cylinders and clutch. The gauge indicates air pressure which allows for repeatable results.
Operation Reset Panel The reset panel looks like the figure below. Reset Switch The momentary pushbutton switch must be pressed and held for 15 seconds after turning on main power and after and emergency stop. Figure 4. Reset Panel Temperature Controls Your laminator has heated rolls that allow you to laminate with thermal films and pressure sensitive films that require heat to activate the adhesive.
Operation Laminator Setup Your laminator has been designed to make the setup and lamination process as easy and repeatable as possible, however, there will be techniques that make this phase easier that you will only learn by using the machine. Do not get frustrated if the setup process takes longer than you expected, the process will get quicker and easier the more you use your laminator.
Operation Encapsulation Process 1. Load thermal film on the upper rear and center front unwind stations. Loosen the brake tension by rotating the knob counter clockwise. 2. Set the shim wheels to “0”, place a piece of feeder stock into the nip rolls with plenty of stock hanging out the front.
Operation Curl Cam Option Your machine may have an option called the curl cam. This is a set of 2 idler rollers that can be pivoted and locked into position. This option is particularly useful when the machine is running thermal films of differing thickness.
Operation Pressure Sensitive Process 1. Load film on the rear upper unwind station and front center (if required and only without release liner). Loosen the brake tension by turning counter knob counter clockwise. 2. Set the shim wheels to “0”, or to the correct shim height if a board is being used. Place a piece of feeder stock into the nip rolls with plenty of stock hanging out the front and close the nip rolls onto the piece of feeder stock.
Operation Process Output Trouble Shooting Straight waves in output Pull roll creating too much tension Decrease clutch air pressure Film not cooling fast enough Slow feed rate down and turn on cooling system. Waves on one side of output Nip “zero” setting may be incorrect Check nip setting and adjust if necessary.

Operation Wrinkles in Product 1. Check the adhesive stock for wrinkles while operating. If wrinkles exist, this is a manufacturing material defect, and must be cut out of the roll. A laminator will not correct material defects. 2. String the web straight and square between the unwind and the windup shafts. If it is not straight and square, the tension will not be even across the web and will cause wrinkling.

Maintenance Maintenance As a result of years of experience, refined engineering and construction techniques, very little time need be lost to maintenance. However, regular maintenance will keep your laminator operating at its optimum level. Removing the enclosure covers to work on machine exposes person to electrocution and moving parts hazard.
Maintenance Roller open and close rate The rollers must open and close evenly to prevent excessive wear on the cylinders and bearings. This rate is set at the factory, but can be adjusted in the field. Follow the procedure below to adjust the nip rolls.
Warranty Warranty and Conditions AGL warrants all models of the laminator’s product line manufactured to be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of one year with the exception of operator caused damage, or surface abrasions to the laminating rolls or other obvious caused damage.
