1. INTRODUCTION
Dear customers,
We are pleased that you have chosen a laminator from Neschen and hope that you will increase your productivity
with this machine. This electrically driven device is equipped with rotating rollers and moving components, so it is
essential to comply with occupational safety principles.
Before commissioning the Neschen laminator, the user (company) must ensure that all operators of the unit,
maintenance personnel and their supervisors have familiarized themselves with these operating instructions.
Furthermore, it must be ensured that the generally binding regulations for occupational safety and accident
prevention of the user's respective country are known. The operating instructions must be available to the
employees using the laminator at all times. Improper operation may result in damage that is not covered by the
product warranty.
These operating instructions contain the technical specifications of the laminator, as well as information on
commissioning and operation. The important information on work safety and maintenance is to be considered as
part of the laminator. Employees in production should be familiarized with and understand the information in
these operating instructions. In particular, information concerning safety measures must be observed. To ensure a
satisfactory level of knowledge, refresher training should be carried out regularly after familiarization.
If you do not understand any of the information in these operating instructions, please contact the responsible

2. APPLICATION
•The Neschen laminator for large formats is suitable for mounting lamination and carrier films on large
format prints, plates, panels and similar products up to a width of 1650 mm
•Although the laminator is designed for large formats, it can also be used for smaller formats starting from
A5 size
•The design of the laminator allows unlimited length of laminated prints
•When processing larger formats (larger than A0 or corresponding to the maximum working width of the
machine), the assistance of another person is required
•The flexible use and easy handling of the Neschen Laminator allows working with sheets and rolls. The
user selects the appropriate laminating technique, for example sheet lamination or lamination from roll or
roll to roll
•Any modifications to the laminator without the manufacturer's approval exempts the seller from liability for
any damage or injury!
•If features of the laminator permit use for other purposes not listed herein, the user shall consult such
applications with the seller
•Follow the safety instructions while working on the machine to avoid injuries to yourself or others

The upper roller can move up and down, with distances from 0 to 40 mm.
Note: the height adjustment only works if the rotation direction, forward or backward, has not been selected
(the direction button is not lit). The height adjustment is controlled by the following keys:
down - the upper roller moves downwards. The button must be pressed and held down. When the
button is released, the roller moves up immediately. If the upper roller touches the material or the lower roller, it
stops automatically.
up - the upper roller moves upwards. Once the roller reaches the highest level of 40 mm, it stops
automatically and can then only be moved down. The button have to held down to move the roller up.
Roll rotation - the lower roll is driven by an electric motor. This is continuously adjustable in the range 0 to 4
m/min.

2023_07_NESCHEN HOTLAM AND COLDLAM_EN 7
Rotary knob for rotation - potentiometer for speed control. The desired speed is set in meters per minute.
run - roller rotation in forward direction - the rotation direction is indicated by the corresponding key
light. The Neschen laminators have a modern, intelligent start function, which allows the laminator to start
slowly and evenly until the speed set by the rotary knob is reached. The speed is not based on the load.
Note: If the roller speed is set to 0, the laminator will not start, but will wait until the operator sets a speed
other than 0.
If the machine has a foot switch and this is activated, the machine moves in the direction of travel at a speed of 1
m/min with a signal tone. Light barriers are automatically disengaged when the foot switch is in use.
rev - setting the rollers in backward motion (same functions as in forward motion).
stop - stops the rotation and the running direction. If the light barrier is interrupted while the machine is
running, a signal sounds and the machine stops.
Note: If the operator wants to change the direction of rotation while the machine is running, he must first press
the stop button and can then select the desired direction of rotation.
The machine is equipped with heat support. You can choose from the following settings.
Off - knob in middle position
40 °C - knob to the left
50 °C - knob to the right
As a standard pressure setting for single-sided coatings (print and film), 1.5 bar (+/- 0.5 bar) should be used.
7. SILICONE PAPER AND LAMINATED PRINTS
Shaft rotation - the shafts for realease liner and laminated prints (end products) are driven by electric motors.
The machine synchronizes their revolutions with the rotation speed of the main rollers. The resistance on all
shafts can be changed by turning the brake. The tighter the brake, the greater the resistance of the shafts and
vice versa.
8. FUSES AND FOOTSWITCH CONNECTION
The Neschen laminators have three fuses. Their parameters and replacement are described in section 16.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR.
9. ROLLER HOLDER
Laminating and printing materials are rolled on a paper tube with an inner diameter of 76.2 mm. The shafts of
the Neschen laminator are designed for these tubes.

2023_07_NESCHEN HOTLAM AND COLDLAM_EN 8
If the material is unrolled too loosely or too tightly, the braking force can be regulated by tightening or loosening
the brake on the right side of the machine. Tightening the brake increases the braking force and loosening it
decreases it.
The resistance of the shaft can be adjusted by regulating the coupling on the right side if silicone paper is not
wound or is wound too tightly or too loosely.
10. APPLYING A ROLL OF MATERIAL TO THE SHAFT
1. Remove the shaft from the laminator. Shafts are attached to the right side of the laminator. Turn the carrier
until the lock is released. The positions for material located under the feed table are secured with a rotary
lock. The lock must be released before removing the shaft. First remove the end of the shaft that is on the
side of the lock.
2. Load the roll of material onto the shaft. Heavy rolls should be loaded by two people.
3. Reattach the shaft to the machine by following the procedure from point 1 in reverse order.
