ORCA-IV Image Transfer Laminator Operation Manual

 

 

Is there an appropriate filtered dry air supply avail- able?

The machine requires filtered dry air at 1.5 cubic feet per minute (cfm), 50 liters/minute at a pressure of 100 pounds per square inch (psi) (700 kPa). The air supply must be clean (free of dirt) and dry. Moisture causes corrosion and particles block pneumatic controls. Either problem can cause the laminator to malfunction.

It is the customer's responsibility to provide appro- priate filters and water traps for the air hose before the air is routed to the laminator. Pro-Tech suggests that the best approach to the air requirement is to provide a dedicated small compressor for the lami- nator. A standard light-duty ½ to ¾ horse power (1 kW) electric air compressor with 1.5 to 2.5 cfm output with a 5 gallon (20 liter) storage tank is appropriate.

IMPORTANT

The air supply to the laminator must be cleanand dry or the machine will be damaged.
