Operations Manual 4.0 Installation Patriot 25E 2. The laminator should be positioned to allow exiting film to drop freely to the floor. This section will guide you through the installation process of the laminator. INFORMATION: Shipping damage should be brought to the immediate attention of the delivering carrier. 4.
Patriot 25E Operations Manual 4.2 Know your laminator This section will assist you in understanding what and where items are when referred to in this manual.
Operations Manual Patriot 25E 5.0 Operation (5) FEED GUIDE: The feed guide permits alignment of the item(s) to be laminated and is used to keep longer items straight. This section covers the components of the laminator, the control panel, the feed table, supply shaft, film alignment, film loading and threading, film tension, starting an application, speed guide, helpful hints and important points to remember.
Patriot 25 E (8) PULL ROLLERS: The pull rollers, located at the back of the laminator, are motor driven. They simultaneously pull the film and improve the quality of the laminated item. Operations Manual (11) CORE ADAPTERS: The film shaft holds the supply roll while the core adapters hold the rolls of film on the shaft. Thumb screws Core adapters (12) FILM WEB: Laminating film loaded into the machine (9) REAR SLITTER: Used to cut the film web where it exits the rear of the laminator.
Operations Manual 5.2 Control panel Patriot 25E Figure 5.2.1 Control panel Refer to Figure 5.2.1 (1) POWER: This light illuminates when power to the laminator is “ON”. If this lamp is not lit, no power to the laminator is being supplied. (2) HEAT: Illuminates when the laminator is first turned on and when the laminator calls for more heat. (3) READY: Indicates when the laminator has sufficient heat for the selected film gauge. (4) STANDBY: Illuminates indicating the laminator is in “STANDBY” mode.
Patriot 25 E Operations Manual 5.3 Feed table 5.4 Supply shaft To remove To remove 1. Lift the safety shield to its full upright position. 1. Slide the upper shaft to the right from the front operating position. 2. Slide the feed table interlock latch to the right. 2. While pushing in on the supply shaft to the right, remove the left side of the shaft from the brake assembly. 3. Lift the rear of the table (the rounded side) upwards and then away from the laminator. 3.
Operations Manual 5.6 Adjusting film tension Patriot 25E 2. Rotate the roll of film until the lever engages the internal mechanism. Proper film tension, known as brake tension, is the minimum amount of tension required to eliminate wrinkles in the finished item. 3.

Patriot 25E Operations Manual 6.3 Speed guide The following chart provides general guidelines for proper speed settings to use on certain materials and laminating film combinations. INFORMATION: Different settings may become necessary as the warm up time, lamination time and materials change. Figure 6.3.1 Speed guide Film thickness 1.5 mil (0.0015") 3.0 mil (0.0030") Newspaper 20 lb.
Operations Manual Patriot 25E 6.4 Helpful hints 6.5 Important points to remember Good consistent lamination is a result of combining proper heat, speed, tension and dwell time. Dwell time is the amount of time the material to be laminated is compressed between the heat rollers and is controlled by the speed of the laminator. WARNING: Do not press RUN until READY has illuminated.
Patriot 25E Operations Manual CAUTION: Do not stop the laminator before an item has completely exited the pull rollers. Even a momentary stop will cause a dwell line (heat line) on the laminated item. INFORMATION: Wrinkles may result if an attempt is made to reposition an item once it has entered the nip of the heat rollers. INFORMATION: When feeding long items, skewing may occur if the item is not fed into the laminator straight. Use the feed guide to help prevent this from happening.
