Film diagram for threading pressure sensitive film without the use of a release liner winder
Left view Right view
Notice the path of the release liner
Thread laminate as typical. However, before feeding laminate through machine separate the liner from
the laminate and remove it while the film is being threaded. After the film is through the back rollers by
about one foot remove the release liner at the upper idler roller but make sure that the release liner is in
contact with the idler, not the adhesive. Bring the liner over the top of the upper film roll down to just
before the back rollers. At this point either, gap the rollers and manually thread the release liner through
the rear rollers then ungap or, while slowly advancing the film, thread the liner through the rear rollers.
After there is about four inches of liner beyond the back rollers stop the motor and grab the liner from
the back of the machine and lift firmly this will eliminate any slack that is between the idler roller and
the rear rollers, this may need to be done periodically during lamination to take up excess slack.
• It may be necessary to increase the rear roller pressure.
• Be careful during lamination not to let the laminate wrap the rear rollers.
• Use extreme care while using any slitter assembly to prevent wraps and injury to ones self or the
laminating rollers
• It may be necessary to remove the anti-static tensile or thread the film under it, if the film sticks
to it
• It may be necessary to guide the film from the back of the machine during lamination if there are
any areas in the lamination large enough to stick to the machine frame
