IMESA Converting Machinery engineers & manufactures a wide range of standard & custom cold bond and heat laminating systems to laminate, slit and rewind heat-activated or pressure sensitive tapes to foams, rubber, cork, adhesive & non-adhesive tapes, textiles, graphite, and similar materials.  IMESA Laminators are available with an extensive range of options, for both single & double sided lamination, multi-layer lamination, slitting & sheeting and can be customized to meet specific converting requirements.

K1 Easy Laminator

The IMESA K1 Easy Laminator is an economical entry level laminator for the lamination of heat-activated or cold bond adhesive to various foam materials, textiles, adhesive & non-adhesive tapes, rubber, cork and similar products.   The K1 laminator is a compact, simple to use laminating machine equipped with a single unwind with mechanical brake, adjustable operating speed up to 15 mts/min with electronic inverter, entrance table with adjustable inclination, calendar with both upper & lower motorized silicone coated rolls, heating device with adjustable temperature up to 90° Celsius, upper unwind with 3” pneumatic expansion shaft with mechanical brake & an outboard rewind with adjustable tension complete with a 3” pneumatic expansion shaft and a PLC touchscreen to check the machines operating functions.

K1 DS Double Sided Laminator

The IMESA K1 DS Double Sided Laminating System is the ideal laminator to applying self-adhesive papers or films to both the top and bottom of various materials including foams and rubbers, adhesive & non-adhesive tapes, foam tapes, fiberglass, non-wovens, technical textiles and similar materials.  The version K1 DS main advantages over the K1 Easy Laminator is the ability to apply an adhesive transfer tape to both sides of foams or flexible materials in both roll and sheet form.  In addition to featuring a second unwind for adhesive film; the model K1 DS also incorporates a second tension controlled winder for rewinding the adhesive protective liner.  Additional features include a second heated nip roll (top and bottom heated) and more accurate tensioning controls for elastic or thin foam materials.

KK1 Laminating Systems

The IMESA KK1 Laminating System combines the ability to laminate adhesive and self-adhesive tapes to both the top & bottom of foams materials along with in-line slitting & sheeting capabilities.  IMESA offers a wide range of material handling solutions including center & surface unwinds, web guides, various tensioning control devices, sheet handling, center & surface winders, & accumulators.  For heat activated adhesives, the IMESA Laminator can be equipped with infrared preheaters and infrared heated calendars.

KK2 Multi-Layer Laminating Systems

The IMESA KK2 Multi-Layer Laminating System combines the same advanced features as the KK1 series but also lamination capabilities to manufacture custom composites from a wide variety of foams and other materials using hot melt films and pressure-sensitive adhesives.  These materials include, but are not limited to, open and closed-cell foams, woven textiles, films, coated fabrics, rubber, cork, adhesive & non-adhesive tapes and other specialized materials.
