OPERATING hEAT sETTINGs Lamination film vary widely from supplier to supplier. Some low cost films require slow speeds and high temperature to ensure proper lamination. High quality films such as Innové brand use lower melt ® adhesives which allows faster output at lower temperature and less smell. Your first source of information should be your film supplier.
MAINTENANCE cLEANING ROLLERs It is normal for some glue to squeeze out of ends of film and build up on rollers. This is easily removed using a laminator cleaning kit. (Ask your supplier for a cleaning kit - a low cost tool!). Laminator cleaning kit includes a rubber glue remover block and scrubby to remove loosened glue.
A fILM JAM (wrap-up) hELP! Film jams do occur! (Refer to Figure 31) The Duralam Integra is uniquely designed to make it easy to clear jams. The bottom of the laminator is open frame design to allow excellent access to rollers to clean them.

MAINTENANCE whAT cAusEs A fILM JAM? What causes a film jam? And what should I do to stop this from happening? PROPER TRAINING and an ATTENTIVE OPERATOR is the best solution. Always monitor film as it is coming out of the laminator. A good operator will see the film bunching up at the back of the laminator and they will take corrective actions to stop this from causing a wrap-around.
