FLAME-LAMINATION

By flame-lamination one understands the making of a compound of two, resp. three components (single, resp. sandwich-lamination) by using the adhesion characteristics of the foam which is melted by the line-gas-burner.

Flame-laminating-machines are used to join thermoplastic materials like foam made of polyester, polyether, polyethylene or various adhesive foils and textile, PVC-foils, artificial leather, non-wovens, papers or other materials.

Depending on the machine construction, single or sandwich-laminations can be made. The materials are taken from bales or plates (flat-base-laminating-machine).

A line-gas-burner, which is installed across the whole working width, is melting the foam, resulting in an adhesive film. Inside the calender, the foam and the top fabric, resp. the backlining, are permanently joined together when running through the laminating gap.

Working speed: up to 60 m/min – depending on the material.

Working width: up to 2000 mm standard – special widths on request.

The complete plant is controlled by a separate control desk.

The following additional equipment, which can also be installed into already existing machines, is available:

  • Guiding- and tentering units                                       
  • Accumulators for foam, textile, backlining and   finished material
  • Trimming units to seam and separate the laminated product
  • Winding units: center winding units, batch winding units, friction winding units for un-and rewinding 
  • Guiding units for continuous fabric and winding units   
  • Butt-welding-machines
  • Burner systems
  • Inspection machines
  • Gas-air-mixing-devices
  • Winding machines
  • Singeing machine

Our plants can be combined on a modular construction basis, starting from the Bonding Unit which can be designed as a single or a sandwich laminating machine.

It is possible to install additional storage units for textile, foam, backlining and finished product for continuous operation or a tenter frame at any time.
