Section 6. Maintenance
6-1. Cleaning of the Machine
The laminator may be cleaned by the operator with a lint-free cloth, lightly dampened with a mild soap
and water solution. Spray-on cleaners are not to be used. No part of the machine is to be immersed in
water or other liquids.
6-2. Regular Cleaning of the Rollers by the Operator
The laminating rollers of the machine should be periodically cleaned of adhesive build up that might
occur during normal operation. This should be performed a few times per day, using the ProSeal
Cleaning Board.
ProSeal Cleaning Boards are specially designed to attract and capture any adhesive that may be
clinging to the rollers. They are made from materials that will not damage or cause excessive wear to
the ProSeal Laminator.
1. Turn on the unit and set for Hot Temperature Operation. Once the machine has reached
process temperature set the Control Knob to 3/16”.
2. Slowly insert the Cleaning Board into the inlet opening. Ensure that the board enters centered
and straight. A gentle push may be required to start the board into the machine. Hold the edges
of the board until it is engaged in the unit and the laminator begins pulling it on its own.
3. The board will feed through the laminator and automatically exit at the rear of the unit. THE
BOARD WILL BE HOT! Allow the board to lie flat while cooling.
Note:
This is the only roller cleaning method operators are allowed to do.
6-3. Cleaning of the Rollers by Service Technicians
Only service technicians are allowed to perform a thorough surface maintenance of the rollers.
This should be done once or twice per year.
To perform this cleaning procedure, the top cover has to be opened. See Section 4-1 ‘Opening /
Closing the Aluminum Top Cover. On the ProSeal 44, the feed-in table should be removed as well,
see Section 4-2 ‘Feed-In Table’.
The rollers should be cleaned with a lint-free cloth, lightly dampened with IPA (Isopropanol).
Always be very careful when using IPA! IPA is very flammable!
The flash point of IPA is 11°C (51.8°F). The self-ignition
temperature is 400°C (752°F). Please make sure that the top roller
is cooled down before cleaning.
