1500 lbs. of line pressure is more than adequate
for normal laminating operations
Note that the top roll in each size is
1-1/2" longer on one end than the bottom roll to accommodate a raised edge: e.g. the
51-1/2" size has a top roller that is 53" long. This will allow a standard depth
clearance of up to 2" of build up on that end (see inset photo - front).
27 FPM roll speed, standard 3" opening for
material thickness, top of bottom roll is 33 1/4" from floor (pass height). Adjust
this measurement if you add casters to predrilled machine pads
Standard roll material is 60 durometer neoprene
with matte' finish (other coverings and/or durometers quoted on request).
Since you set your top roller to a specific
opening for a particular laminating operation, you don't experience fractured laminate on
the leading edge when it overhangs the substrate while forcing open pneumatically operated
rollers. With our opening mechanism you avoid having to compensate for this problem by
using less pressure than you want in a pneumatic system or requiring an employee to
remember to increase the pressure once the work has been fed. In addition, our crank
mechanism remains consistent over its long operating life while one of the cylinders in a
pneumatic system may eventually have a different output pressure which would result in
uneven surface pressure.
VERSATILITY: Mar-Bel pinch rollers have been used
for putting clear on aerial overlays, foil on styrofoam pontoons, the manufacture of
computer flooring, boat manufacturing and a host of other applications in addition to the
cabinetmaking and casegood / store fixture industries.
