| PROBLEM: |
POSSIBLE SOLUTION: |
| Delamination - Adhesive is glossy in appearance and on paper only |
- -Increase heat or pressure; reduce speed.
|
| Delamination - Adhesive on board only |
- -Reduce heat or pressure; increase speed
|
| Delamination of only solid black paper |
- -Reduce heat 10-15°F or increase speed 10- 20 FPM
|
| Delamination only on sides of sheet |
- -Increase temperature 10-15°F or reduce speed 10-15 FPM
|
| Paper wrinkles |
- -Check alignment of board in feed
- -Check tension of paper
- -Tighten drive chain
- -Change roll position to determine if wrinkle follows roll
- -Check for excessive heat
- -Laminating roller may be ground unevenly
- -Change bearings
- -Infeed conveyor not level
|
| Laminating roller has uneven heat from side to side |
- -Change oil
- -Check for burned out heaters
|
| Spotty lamination on particleboard or MDF |
- -Increase nip pressure
- -Verify uniformity of pressure
- -Check board uniformity
- -Reduce speed
|
| Moisture bubbles on 1/8" and 1/4" board |
- -Increase pressure
- -Reduce speed
- -Fold board to verify quality
|
| Want to increase speed |
- -Increase paper wrap around laminating roll
