US Webcon, Flame Laminator, 80 inch Web Width, 3-Roll Type, 180 Fpm

Description

  1. Overview
    1. Inventory number: E-8125
    2. Flame laminator designed to manufacture a three-ply laminate in a single pass.
    3. Individual webs are laminated by melting the foam surface to a depth of.025" -.030" and using the resulting hot viscous adhesive as a bonding agent.
    4. Laminating speeds are material dependent.
  2. Specifications
    1. Roll diameter: textile 36" x 500 lbs.
    2. Speed: 180 fpm.
    3. Core ID: 3".
  3. Construction
    1. Machine frame is fabricated of tubular steel and rigidly braced with heavy-duty torque members for vibration-free operation.
    2. Sealed-for-life ball bearings are used throughout.
    3. Dead-shaft idler rollers are statically or dynamically balanced at operating speed to ensure smooth turning.
    4. Roll coverings are selected based on product requirements.
    5. Adequate guarding with conveniently located access doors or openings provided for servicing of drive train, motors, and all transmission elements.
    6. Machine is shipped prewired and prepiped for ease of installation.
  4. Laminator
    1. Designed to laminate three materials: a foam and two substrates, by melting the surface of the foam and using it as a bonding agent.
    2. Unit is a three-roll type using two 72" water-cooled gas-fired ribbon burners.
    3. Burners have an adjustability of.25" to 3.00".
    4. Pneumatically operated burner bracket with flow control valves and automatic 90-degree burner rotation during start/stop operations are provided for each burner position.
    5. Burner rotation and burner position relative to the roll face are controlled using separate elements.
    6. Maxon premixer is utilized for variable flame adjustment with all necessary gas safety equipment.
    7. A slat expander is used at the face product entry point to reduce product wrinkle.
    8. Lamination rolls are constructed of 9 3/8" OD x 76" face DOM tubing with dual headers.
    9. Chrome plating is added to each roll to ensure good product face quality and ease of cleaning.
    10. Dueblin water rotary unions are used to allow constant water flow for heat dissipation.
    11. Roll nip positioning is pneumatically initiated.
    12. Lamination roll stack is driven using a 3 hp motor.
  5. Flame Safety Primary
    1. A Honeywell system provides safety features in conjunction with a flame detector mounted to the burner at each station.
    2. Upon start-up, the system purges all lines and burners after the mixer valve.
    3. After purge, the gas valve is energized and the gas ignition cycle starts using a selected preset time.
    4. Flame shut down will commence if the presence of the flame is not proven within time limits; recycle (field selectable) will take place and the sequence starts over.
  6. Unwind Section
    1. Foam Let-Off Frame
      1. Let-off is a free-standing frame.
      2. Foam let-off is a shaft type using mechanical core chucks placed in ball bearing holders.
      3. A manually operated shaft brake maintains minimal tension to prevent the roll from free wheeling.
      4. A short infeed frame is included to hold the foam roll back a short distance from the flame head.
      5. An idler roller conveyor carries the foam to the entry point above the hood.
    2. Fabric Let-Off
      1. A shafted center type unwind using a lug type airshaft mounted in self-closing safety chucks.
      2. A rack and pinion slide is manually operated to control edge guide.
      3. An operator initiated pneumatic brake is included for tension control.
    3. Backing Let-Off
      1. A shafted center type unwind using a lug type airshaft mounted in self-closing safety chucks.
      2. A rack and pinion slide is manually operated to control edge guide.
      3. An operator initiated pneumatic brake is included for tension control.
  7. Rewind
    1. Station is a combination surface driven wind-up.
    2. Surface wind-up is a dual drum type using mechanical core chucks on a round shaft.
    3. Appropriate roll coverings are based on the finished product.
    4. Winder is driven by a 1-1/2 hp motor and drive.
  8. Platform
    1. Platform is 4' x 8' square elevated to allow the finished laminated web.
    2. Frame is made of 3" x 3" angle and the deck is covered with 1/8" diamond plate.
  9. Operator Controls
    1. Start.
    2. Stop (normal).
    3. Stop (emergency).
    4. Speed readouts.
    5. Automatic / manual mixer control.
    6. Automatic / manual burner in / out operation.
  10. Effluent Collection Hood
    1. A close fitting collection hood with 5000-CFM tube blower is mounted above the laminating station.
    2. Hood is designed to envelop the laminator rolls and burner section and provide collection of the effluent stream.
    3. Hood is manufactured of 18 Ga. stainless steel.
  11. Options
    1. Foam Infeed System
      1. Steering Frame
        1. Foam guider is an in-line, two-roll, steering frame with a photo electric sensor.
        2. Guiding actuation is provided by an electro mechanical web positioning system.
        3. A photo eye senses the edge location of the web and signals the controller.
        4. The actuator is slaved to the photo eye and controller, which in turn controls the steering action.
        5. A constant and accurate alignment of the web path is then maintained.
        6. Unit features include adjustable dead band, sensor positioner, as well as self centering and automatic controls.
      2. Tension Control
        1. Tension control is provided through a closed loop load cell transducer.
        2. The signal is supplied from a mechanical-electrical transceiver to the tension controller.
        3. The controller signals the drive; as conditions change, motor torque is adjusted automatically to maintain constant tension.
      3. Foam Let-Off
        1. A shafted center type unwind using a lug type airshaft mounted in self-closing safety chucks.
        2. An operator initiated pneumatic brake is included for tension control.
