GBC Pro-Tech F60+ heavy-duty 60" Dual Heated Roll Laminator

***Manufacturer's Information:

From The Manufacturer and Web:

The GBC Pro-Tech F60+ (also known as the Falcon 60+) is a commercial-grade, heavy-duty 60-inch dual-sided hot roll laminator designed for large-format print environments. Built to manage demanding finishing jobs, it supports high-volume mounting, laminating, and encapsulation.

Specifications:

• Laminating Capacity: Features 60-inch wide laminating rolls. It accommodates pressure-sensitive (PSA) materials up to 62 inches wide and thermal/heat-activated films up to 61 inches wide on standard 3-inch inside diameter cores.
• Speed and Output: Operates at variable speeds ranging from 0 to 15 or 18 feet per minute (FPM). It includes a slow-speed reverse setting to assist with clearing alignments.
• Temperature and Controls: Internally heated top and bottom rollers support temperatures up to 270°F (132°C). The upper and lower heat settings can be controlled independently or shut off entirely for cold (PSA) applications.
• Mounting Gap: Capable of handling mounting materials up to 0.75 inches thick.
• Physical Build & Power: This is an industrial machine with a substantial footprint, weighing approximately 1,498 lbs. Depending on the specific configuration, it requires a 220V/230V single-phase power supply or a three-phase setup.

Operation Nuances
• Manual Pressure System: Uses a manual clamp system adjusted via a yellow roller pressure knob rather than compressed air, monitored by an integrated pressure gauge.
• Safety Systems: Because the heated rollers run at high temperatures, the system is guarded by multiple emergency stop buttons and safety photo-eye beams that halt the rollers if an obstruction is detected. Note: Operating the machine via the variable-speed foot pedal overrides the photo-eye safety circuit.
• Cooling Fans: Features built-in cooling fans directly behind the nip to quickly cool hot films, helping to deliver smooth, wrinkle-free output.
