RésuméThe Crest R2R Laminator Slitter is a heavy-duty roll-to-roll converting platform that laminates, trims and rewinds printed rolls in a single continuous workflow. Configurable around web width, material and production process. Originally engineered for printed PET on self-adhesive PE foam and thin PVC.
Principales fonctions- Laminate — Apply protective films and functional layers in one workflow: self-adhesive PE foam, thin PVC backing, protective laminate over UV‑cured, latex, solvent and eco‑solvent printed media. Adjustable, heatable laminating rollers to handle a wide range of substrates and adhesive systems.
- Trim — Heavy‑duty pneumatic shear‑cut trimming that cleanly cuts thick and rigid substrates (including thick PVC) without cracking or deforming the material; delivers a precise, consistent finished width straight off the line.
- Rewind — Precision tension‑controlled rewinding with automated web tension regulation via a closed feedback loop; high torque on unwind for rigid substrates and delicate, low‑tension handling at rewind to protect print and laminate quality.
Applications / Où l'utiliser- Print finishing & sticker production — converting printed PVC, PET and self‑adhesive vinyl onto PE foam or thin PVC backing.
- Wide format & decorative roll media — wallcoverings, canvas, banners and floor graphics (UV, latex, solvent and eco‑solvent prints).
- Custom configurations — specialty printed roll materials and technical substrates requiring tailored lamination, trimming or rewind setups.
Caractéristiques opérationnelles et avantages- Integrated one‑pass process: lamination + heavy‑duty shear‑cut trimming + precision rewinding to reduce handling and alignment errors between stations.
- Automated web tension regulation with closed‑loop feedback across unwind, lamination, trimming and rewind stages; wide, accurately controlled tension range.
- High torque available on the unwind for rigid substrates; carefully regulated low‑tension handling at the rewind for delicate media.
- Configurable platform: web width, lamination setup, trimming configuration, backing application and rewind tension configured around material type and production process.
- Industrial grade construction engineered to handle both the toughest substrates and the most fragile printed media with equal precision.
- PLC + HMI control for machine operation and process control.
- Originally engineered for printed PET on self‑adhesive PE foam and thin PVC but configurable for a broad range of printed roll materials.
- Warranty: 5‑year warranty provided when a service agreement is in place.
