  • Page 13: Adjusting Mandrel/Film Tension

    ADJUSTING MANDREL/FILM TENSION Each type of laminating film has different characteristics and may require laminator adjustment. The tension should be set so that the film moves over the rollers without dimples as the film enters the laminator. Best results are obtained if tension adjustments are made while the unit is at operating temperature.
