Ledco Laminating FAQs
Squealing while film is advancing
The squealing is caused by the taut film being pulled over the teflon surface of the heat shoes. It is heard more often on new machines than old ones. Occasional shoe noise is normal on Ledco laminators. It is caused by too much supply roll tension, too little speed, or improperly coated laminating film. Squealing is usually eliminated by reducing supply roll tension and speeding up the machine. If sqealing persists inspite of everything you try, the fault is probably with the film coating. Every once in a while, polyester suppliers send material to film makers which was coated for printing instead of being coated for lamination film. The print receptive coating is slightly sticky, while the proper coating for polyester in laminating film is a slip coat or a hard coat.
