Hot laminating machine TS-2100

coldrollindustrial

Overview
The Crest TS-2100 Liquid Silicone is a heavy-duty laminator engineered specifically for face mounting with liquid silicone. A hard chrome top roller runs against an EPDM-rubber bottom roller to deliver even, bubble-free optical bonds behind acrylic and glass. Integrated backing-paper feed, roller pressure up to 8 N/mm and working widths up to 2150 mm make it suitable for photo labs, fine-art finishers and premium display producers.

Applications

• Acrylic face mounting: specialist solution for face mounting printed images to the back of clear acrylic using liquid silicone, producing an even, bubble-free layer with no roller marks.
• Glass face mounting: bonding prints behind glass for high-end wall art and display panels; chrome top roller with EPDM counter-roller delivers the rigid, smooth surface needed for flawless optical bonds.
• Wide-format finishing: handles material up to 2150 mm wide so oversized acrylic and glass face mounts run in a single, controlled pass.

Process and core features

• Hard chrome top roller running against EPDM rubber bottom roller for a mark-free bonding surface.
• Roller pressure up to 8 N/mm across full working width.
• Operating speeds up to 15 m/min.
• Integrated backing-paper feed that pulls paper from beneath the table via a lockable shaft and guiding roller.
• Digital nip-opening read-out for repeatable setups and exact gap setting.
• Runs entirely without compressed air; roller pressure delivered mechanically and adjusted by handwheel (electrical roller height adjustment available as an option).
• Removable smooth-aluminium infeed and outfeed tables to support substrates for clean, controlled feeding.

Best suited for

• Photo labs and fine-art finishers mounting prints behind acrylic and glass.
• Premium display and wall-art producers requiring flawless optical bonds.
• Finishers running oversized formats (working width up to 2150 mm on TS-2100).
• Operations needing repeatable, bubble-free silicone bonding shift after shift.
• Workshops wanting a clean, integrated backing-paper feed without a separate stand.

Frequently asked questions

• Why chrome top roller? Face mounting with liquid silicone requires a rigid, perfectly smooth bonding surface; chrome avoids roller marks or distortions that rubber can cause.
• Material widths: TS-2100 processes material up to 2150 mm wide (TS-1600 handles up to 1650 mm).
• Compressed air: the machine operates without compressed air, simplifying installation and reducing operating costs.
• Backing-paper feed: single paper holder at front bottom on a lockable steel shaft; backing paper pulled from underneath the table for a clean continuous feed.
• Warranty: a 5-year warranty applies subject to a signed service agreement.
