Do you have high volume laminating needs, but a budget that won't allow for an expensive high-speed laminator?

The HS-30 Thoroughbred 30" laminator from Ledco could be the solution for you. The HS-30 Thoroughbred gives you the best combined features of the HD-25 Workhorse and High Speed 30 laminators with features that customers have requested: a powerful motor, larger heat shoes, and a high performance cooling system of up to 65 fpm at a fraction of the cost of other comparable production machines.

Because of the larger heat shoe surface, built-in chill rollers for contact cooling, and precision slitters, the HS-30 Thoroughbred can double or triple the production levels of an HD-25 Workhorse.

Contact cooling removes excess web heat quickly, allowing faster lamination speeds. Variable speed control allows the laminator to be hand fed as well as easily adapted to a variety of feeders.

The HS-30 Thoroughbred is designed to laminate with all films. Operating on 220 volts and 50 amps, the HS-30 Thoroughbred will provide years of service with minimum maintenance. The unit includes intelligent heat controllers that display the set temperature and the actual temperatures.

A microprocessor anticipates the heat demand of each job and maintains the actual temperature within a few degrees of the set temperature. Other features include a swing-away top heat shoe, built-in retractable slitters, and a standard precision feed tray.

In addition, the HS-30 Thoroughbred offers laminating and pull rollers covered with silicone rubber for superior release quality, higher lamination quality and easier cleaning. Dual tension knobs for each supply roll are easy to use and provide as little or as much tension as needed to keep work wrinkle free.

Features

• Intelligent heat controllers display both the set temperature and the actual temperature. The microprocessor in the control quickly learns to anticipate the heat demand of each job and keeps the actual temperature within a few degrees of the set temperature.
• Laminating and pull rollers are covered with silicone rubber for superior release, better lamination quality, and easier cleaning.
• Swing-away top heat shoe is teflon coated to reduce film abrasion.
• Built-in retractable slitters save an enormous amount of cutting time by trimming away side scrap during the lamination process. The two heads can be adjusted independently and with great precision.
• Dual tension knobs (clutches) for each supply roll mandrel are easy to use and provide as little or as much tension as needed to keep work wrinkle-free.
• Easy access controls are conveniently located and grouped for effective operation.
• Safety shield is built into the top heat shoe to safeguard the operator.
• Rear anti-wrap shield covers rear pull roller to prevent film wrap arounds.
• Both upper and lower rollers are driven to minimize the wrinkling or curling that can occur when only one roller is driven.
• Forced air cooling with built in chill roll system provides contact cooling necessary for excellent quality flat lamination at higher speeds.
• Standard precision feed tray has both left and right side guides. This unit can be either hand fed or easily adapted to a variety of feeders.

Options

• Footage counter for accurate measurement of film usage.
• Additional slitter heads for multiple-up work.
