6 - IDENTIFICATION OF THE PRESSURE LAMINATOR 127v 220v Product label Packaging label 7 - INSTALLATION 7.1 - Carefully unpack the laminator and check that it has not suffered any damage during transport. 7.2 - The laminator must be installed in a ventilated place, free from humidity, excessive heat and supported on a flat and level rigid surface.
Quick coupling for connection of the compressed air hose (17) Hose: Ø6mm (External) Pressure Between 3 and 8 bar (43.5 to 116 psi) Notes: - The protective grounding for the laminator connection must comply with the NBR 5410 (Brazil) standard or the standard in force in the importing country. - For protection against possible failures or short circuits, it is advisable to install a protection device (thermomagnetic bipolar circuit breaker) in the electrical network where the machine will be installed, to disconnect the two phases.

8.3 - Open the pressure chamber (03), pulling it up and to the left, through its knob (07), until it is positioned with its opening fully facing up (Image 03). Img. 03 8.3 - Place the model on the model holder (14) and then place the assembly in the cavity on the cabinet cover (09) (Image 04).

Note: During this operation, it is natural for the shots to come off the plate and fall onto the bench. To prevent this from happening, we suggest handling it inside a container (tray). 8.3.2 - Flat Position: Allows a copy of the entire extent of the model. For a better result, cut out the model eliminating its retentions and obtaining a flat base.

8.6 - Position the plate's locking ring (11) in the pressure chamber opening (03), observing that its knob (12) and diametrically opposite pin match the pressure chamber slots (Images 16 and 17). Img. 17 Img. 16 8.7 - Press the locking ring (11) against the pressure chamber (03) using its handle and pin as a guide and turn it to the left clockwise, locking the plate.

8.10 - Ideal lamination point: Due to the existence of various types of plates (different materials and thicknesses), the ideal plasticization point is identified by changes in the plate and not by time. Therefore, it is the responsibility of each plate manufacturer to prescribe the most correct form of the ideal lamination point. In general, the ideal point is observed by the color change (brightness) for more opaque plates, i.e., the plate will be shiny and transparent (e.g., milky plates) or by the plate flowing by 10 to 12mm, as indicated in the drawing below (e.g., crystal and soft plates).

Img. 23 8.13 - Lock the pressure chamber (03) in its position by turning its lock knob (08) fully to the left, clockwise. If locking is difficult, it is because the plate locking ring (11) and/or the pressure chamber (03) are out of their correct position (Image 24).

8.17 - Carefully open the pressure chamber (03), pulling it up and to the left, through its knob (07), until it is positioned with its opening fully facing up (Image 26). Move the plate lock ring knob (12) counterclockwise to the right to release it and allow the plate to be removed. To do this, hold the pressure chamber handle with the other hand in order to have a firm movement and keep the laminator in position.
9 - MAIN APPLICATIONS 9.1 - FIXATION OF BRACKETS Indicated plates Soft Plate 1.0 mm Crystal Plate 0.3 mm Ideal laminating point Plate flow Finishing Use model bucket holder. Cut out the plate with a utility knife or scissors. Considerations The brackets must be positioned on the study model before lamination with glue that is not very adherent so that they can be easily removed together with the plate after lamination.

Cut off the excess with a steel or carbide disc. Smoothing edges with mounted stones. Considerations Occlusal adjustment should be made in a semi-adjustable BIO-ART articulator using adhering material (self-curing acrylic resin) and wearing down the plate if necessary. 9.7 - BASE PLATE Indicated plates Crystal Plate 1.0 / 1.5 / 2.0 / 3.0mm.

9.8 - INDIVIDUAL MOLDS Indicated plates Crystal Plate 1.0 / 1.5 / 2.0 / 3.0mm. Ideal laminating point Plate flow Finishing Use model bucket holder. Cut off the excess with a steel or carbide disc. Smoothing edges with mounted stones. Considerations The preparation of the handle can be done by adding a small amount of self-curing acrylic resin in the form of a stick on the...
9.13 - ORTHODONTIC APPLIANCE (ALIGNER) Indicated plates Crystal Plate 0.75 / 1.0 mm. Ideal laminating point Plate flow Finishing Use model bucket holder. Cut off the excess with a steel or carbide disc. Smoothing edges with mounted stones. Considerations The modeling of the plate for tooth movement must be done with the specific toolkit of the recommended technique (pliers, blowtorch, etc.).
12 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 12.1 - Leave the model as low as possible to avoid large deformations of the plate. 12.2 - When working with the flat part of the Model Holder (14), leave the base of the plaster model flat to prevent the plate from penetrating between the plaster model and the Model Holder (14).
13 - MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING 13.1 - Keep the laminator always clean and protected from moisture, especially the resistance located in the heating unit. 13.2 - To clean the cabinet, use only a cloth dampened with water and neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive materials, alcohol or flammable liquids.
