The MF1700-F2 is engineered for high-volume commercial printing and signage environments, designed to transform finishing from a sequential, time-consuming process into a single, highly efficient workflow that integrates lamination, mounting, and trimming.
1. Maximizing Throughput with Single-Pass Efficiency
The machine's dual-sided, high-speed architecture directly addresses the most common bottleneck in print finishing: the need for multiple passes.
Working Width (Max Lamination Width:64"): Handles the full output size of most wide-format inkjet printers, allowing for continuous workflow without the need for pre-trimming.
High-Speed Operation (Max Speed: Up to 20m/min): This speed is significantly faster than standard heat-assist laminators, drastically cutting job turnaround times.
Pneumatic Precision (Pressure Adjustment: Air Pressure): Utilizes an air cylinder system to apply consistent, precise pressure across the full 64''width. This is crucial for high-speed runs where uniform pressure is necessary to ensure zero bubbles or wrinkles and guaranteed adhesion.
2. Core Technology: Dual Heated Rollers and Balanced Tension
The MF1700-F2's heating design and roller specifications are key to achieving "double-sided finishing," particularly addressing curl, a common lamination issue.
Heating Type: Dual or Top Heated Rollers
Dual heating mode: This is essential for curl-free double-sided lamination. It simultaneously applies heat to both the top and bottom layers of film, activating the adhesive and balancing the shrinkage tension of the layers, ensuring a perfectly flat output.
Top heating mode: When laminating single-sided cold laminating film, a low temperature (heat-assisted) is applied to the top roller to eliminate "silver streaks" or bubbles that may form in the cold laminating film adhesive, ensuring high-precision image quality.
Roller Diameter (130mm): A larger silicone roller diameter provides longer pressure application time (a wider "roller gap"), which is crucial for achieving bubble-free and wrinkle-free lamination at high speeds.
Maximum Temperature (120°C): While cold lamination is the mainstream, high heat capacity can be used to process specialized films requiring high-temperature activation or for high-strength, long-lasting encapsulation.
3. Integrated Workflow and Productivity Features
The design minimizes operator interaction and maximizes continuous production flow.
Integrated Cutting System (Optional Cutter): The available pneumatic cutting system allows for in-line trimming or slitting immediately after lamination. This eliminates the need for a separate manual step, making the entire process "laminate-to-finished-product."
Ease of Use | Air Pressure Height Adjustment, Foot Pedal Switch | Ensures ergonomic, single-operator use, allowing the operator to use both hands to align and feed large media while controlling machine start/stop with the foot pedal.
Safety & Compliance | Laser Eye Safety, CE, ROHS Certification | Guarantees a safe operating environment for staff and compliance with international standards.
The MF1700-F2 embodies the "Single Pass, Dual Finish" revolution by delivering:
- Speed: High-volume output via true double-sided lamination in one pass.
- Precision: Curl-free flat results and minimized silvering thanks to balanced dual-heat and pneumatic pressure.
- Profitability: Reduced labor time and increased product offerings (encapsulation, heavy mounting).
