The MEFU MF1700-M5 Large Format Laminator is engineered to address
the two most common and costly problems in sign and graphics
finishing: static cling (dust attraction) and lamination defects
(folds/bubbles).
Here is a breakdown of the key advantages of its Static-Free and
Seamless design:
1. Static-Free Finishing: Eliminating Dust Defects
Static electricity is a major issue in high-speed lamination,
causing dust, dirt, and media fragments to be instantly attracted
to the film, which results in permanent, visible flaws (often
called "pinholes" or "hazing") on the finished graphic.
| Feature | Advantage for Signage Professionals |
|---|
| Integrated Anti-Static String Technology | The MF1700-M5 includes a dedicated anti-static string that runs
across the feed path. This efficiently neutralizes static charge on
both the print media and the film before they enter the nip
rollers. |
| Prevents Dust & Contaminants | By eliminating static, the machine prevents airborne dust and fine
particles from clinging to the film, ensuring a clean, clear, and
high-quality final product. This is crucial for glossy or
high-density graphics where defects are most visible. |
| Reduces Operational Shocks | Static discharge can also cause discomfort and minor shocks to the
operator. The anti-static feature creates a safer, more comfortable
working environment, especially during high-volume production. |
2. Seamless Lamination: Precision for Flawless Output
The MF1700-M5's mechanical design focuses on maximum stability and
control to ensure a perfectly smooth, edge-to-edge seal without
wrinkles or skews.
| Feature | Advantage for Signage Professionals |
|---|
| Unique Anti-Tilt and Anti-Fold System | This proprietary system actively guides the media and film to
maintain straight, even feeding. It virtually eliminates the risk
of skewing or folding—even on long runs—which is the primary cause
of material waste. |
| Stable, Even Pressure (Hand Crank Control) | The heavy-duty design, paired with the manual hand crank, allows
the operator to precisely and consistently set the nip gap and
pressure. This uniform pressure distribution across the entire
1630mm (64") width is essential for a bubble-free and wrinkle-free
bond. |
| Premium 130mm Silicon Rollers | The large-diameter, high-quality silicon rollers are engineered for
heavy-duty applications and maximum heat retention (for heat-assist
cold lamination). They provide the required grip and surface finish
to guarantee a seamless, optically clear seal on a wide range of
materials, including vinyl, mesh, and thick board (up to 23mm). |
| Roll-to-Roll Capability | The machine supports a continuous workflow, automatically winding
the finished, laminated graphic. This feature is key to achieving a
truly seamless finish on large banners and fleet graphics without
manual stopping and starting. |
The MF1700-M5's built-in anti-static and anti-defect systems
translate directly into higher yield, reduced material waste, and
faster production times, making it an extremely cost-effective
choice for commercial sign shops.
