The new Aquaseal 60 and 80UV Pro machines are designed to be the workhorses of the print finishing industry - typically high volume sign and display houses using inkjet and UV flatbed printers.
The machines were revealed at the opening day of the FESPA 2007 exhibition yesterday, where Seal Graphics, unveiled the two liquid laminators.
The claimed heavy-duty UV coaters are said to provide automated protective lamination on sheet, board or roll-fed substrates up to 76.2mm thick and widths of 1,524mm and 2,032mm, respectively.
Amongst the features of the machines are an air knife to eliminate roller wraps, large diameter coating rollers to avoid roll deflection, adjustable coat weight between 7 microns and 20 microns and a manually adjustable nip with calibrated display for repeatable accuracy, said Seal.
Both the Aquaseal 60 and 80UV Pro operate at claimed variable speeds of up to 32 metres per second and the liquid laminate is instantly cured when passing under the in-built UV dryer.
Being UV cured also means there is no necessity to clean down on a daily basis the three switchable 19-litre lacquer reservoirs, added the company.
