ANT 370T, FOLIANT 520T,
FOLIANT 520HP, FOLIANT 720HP roll laminators. These machines have identical
construction, they differ only in working width or operating performance. The only
differences are as follows: absence of the cooling ventilator for the roller for the FOLIANT
370T machine, differing diameters of the main rollers and different power consumption of the
element for heating the working roller. These differences are mentioned in the text.
1.1 Liability for damage
The manufacturer and the distributor are not liable for damage caused by operation that does
not comply with the instruction manual and safety instructions. In particular, the manufacturer
or the distributor is not liable for damage caused by applying various kinds of lamination foil
to various kinds of paper. Every combination of materials should be tested prior to standard
use.
1.2 Work safety
This machine is fitted with a range of safety elements to protect the operating staff and to
protect the equipment during its normal use. The safety measures do not, however, cover all
safety aspects. Therefore, the operating staff should read and understand this instruction
manual or the staff should be duly trained by responsible persons before starting to use the
equipment. This will prevent mistakes during the installation and operation of the equipment.
Please do not try to install the equipment before thoroughly reading all the instruction
manuals supplied with the equipment and understanding all functions and procedures.

Three categories of safety instructions are used in the instruction manual


DANGER

Ignoring these instructions may result in loss of life

WARNING
G
Ignoring these instructions may result in serious injury or
serious damage to the equipment
NOTICE
F
Ignoring these instructions may result in damage to the
equipment or an injury
F
Important notice:
The FOLIANT laminating machines are equipped with a "Y" type connection,
therefore only a trained technician from the distribution or service organization may
install the equipment. Please follow safety instructions printed on the labels on the
equipment. Please do not remove or tamper with these labels. If damage is done to the
label, please contact your supplier.

SAFETY ELEMENTS

This equipment is fitted with safety elements protecting the operating staff and the equipment.
The safety elements include the main switch, protective covers, overheating fuse, overload
fuse, and back operation. When working with the machine (lamination), the production
instructions, safety measures, and health protection during work should be complied with. It is
prohibited that the operating staff has loose sleeves or other parts of the clothing during the
lamination. During work, it is prohibited to eat, drink, or smoke. There are information labels
on the machine and labels warning against various dangers.

F
Please make sure to follow the safety instructions printed on the labels on the
equipment. Do not remove or tamper with these labels. If the label is damaged, please contact
the distribution company.

1.4 Use:

The FOLIANT laminating machines is designed for small and medium printing houses, which
require swift lamination of paper sheets printed on offset machine or by the digital printing
technology such as printed book covers, envelopes for booklets and magazines, postcards, file
folders and boxes before cutting and the like. The machines may be equipped with the
FOLIANT 520 automatic feeding machine and the FOLIANT product line automatic
separator for automatic separation of laminated arches. The feeding machine will hand the
sheets into the laminator with technological overhang, the laminator will cover the paper
sheets with polypropylene or nylon foil. The separator will separate the laminated sheets, it
will count them and will store them in the container.
Glue applied on the polypropylene foil is heated by the heated roller and in the point of
contact it is pressed to stick perfectly to the print. For lamination, the manufacturer
recommends to use foils in rolls with inner diameter of 75 mm and with widths depending on
the material being processed.
Lamination temperatures are regulated from 80 till 140°C. The maximum operating width for
the equipment and the speed of the lamination depend on the type of the equipment.

2. TECHNICAL DATA:

Derived alternatives of the equipment:
Derived alternatives of the equipment have the same construction, they vary only in the
operating width, performance, presence or absence of the front conveyor and number of
processed sheets per hour.
