However, LACOM’s MPBL 1000 /1800/2100/2400 (maximum working width in mm, i.e., finished product width) CV (Compact Version – unwinders and winder within frame structure) is most economical and preferred machine. The minimum possible width on these machines will be 500 mm. Of course, LACOM can offer larger unwinders/winders up to 2,000 mm for big rolls on A/H frames and also accumulators for continuous line instead of batch to batch. LACOM also manufactures and supplies machines of special executions and range of peripheral equipments required with laminating and coating machines.

In ‘Hotmelt’ machines, only the coating/bonding material is heated and not the substrates. So during lamination and coating process, there is no thermal effect to any of the substrates and therefore no shrinkage by heat or change of colour or influence to materials (carrier substrates or laminating substrates). Also, as there is no water or solvent involved in the process, there is no need of dryer/s. The coating material/bonding materials possible to use of LACOM machines are—Thermoplastics such as EVA, PP, PO, Co-PET, Co-PA, TPU (special grade) and PSA and also the two existing reactive adhesives—PUR (Polyurethane ) and POR (Polyolefin).
