Machine pressed laminate is a process that uses a specialized machine to glue and press laminate sheets together.
This machine is often called a lamination press.
It applies hydraulic compression to permanently join two or more layers of material.
7 Key Points to Know About Machine Pressed Laminate
1. Versatile Sizes and Capacities
Lamination presses come in various sizes and capacities.
They range from small desktop units to large presses capable of exerting thousands of tons of force.
2. Precise Temperature and Pressure Controls
These presses often have multiple openings with precise temperature and pressure controls.
The platens, or surfaces used for pressing, can be heated using electric heaters, steam, or hot oil.
In some cases, the platens are internally cooled to speed up processing time.
3. Specialized Vacuum Lamination Presses
Specialized vacuum lamination presses have been developed for specific industries.
These include electronic materials, printed circuit boards, decorative laminates, and honeycomb panels.
4. Modern Automation and Efficiency
Modern lamination systems may incorporate computer and process control systems for enhanced automation and efficiency.
These systems can feature automated loading and unloading systems, staging racks, and turnkey installations.
5. Common Applications in Short-Cycle Lamination
Machine pressed laminate is commonly used in short-cycle lamination technology.
This involves pressing impregnated paper onto particleboard and fiberboard to provide a decorative effect.
The main applications are in furniture panels, door panels, and flooring.
6. Suitable for Various Sizes of Laminated Products
Machine pressed laminate is suitable for producing various sizes of laminated products.
These include sizes like 4'x8', 4'x9', 5'x8', 6'x8', 6'x9', 7'x9', 6'x12', and 4'x16'.
It is commonly used for wood panels and melamine impregnated paper veneer, as well as for pressing wood flooring, furniture panels, and door panels.
7. Production of Melamine Laminates and High Pressure Laminate (HPL)
Machine pressed laminate is also used in the production of melamine laminates.
These are made by laminating melamine paper onto man-made boards like MDF and particle board.
High pressure laminate (HPL) is another type of laminate produced using machine pressing.
HPL is created using a multi-daylight press, which allows for the simultaneous loading of multiple panels.
The process involves using a shortwave infrared radiation heating system to soften the laminate before forming it using a vacuum membrane system.
