OverviewThe Crest R2R Laminator Slitter combines protective and functional lamination, heavy-duty shear-cut trimming and precision tension-controlled rewinding in a single continuous workflow. One pass delivers a finished roll from unwind through lamination, trimming and rewind. Originally engineered for printed PET on self-adhesive PE foam and thin PVC and configurable for a broad range of printed roll materials and converting requirements.
Three functions- Laminate — apply protective films and functional layers in one workflow; adjustable, heatable laminating rollers handle a wide range of substrates and adhesive systems, including self-adhesive PE foam and thin PVC backing.
- Trim — heavy-duty pneumatic shear-cut trimming that cleanly cuts thick and rigid substrates (including PVC) without cracking or deforming the material, delivering a precise finished width.
- Rewind — automated web tension regulation via a closed feedback loop from unwind through rewind; high torque on the unwind for rigid substrates and controlled, delicate handling at the rewind to protect print and laminate quality.
Suitable materials- Printed wallcoverings
- Decorative wallpapers
- Canvas prints
- Banner media
- Floor graphics
- UV-cured, latex, solvent & eco-solvent prints
- Self-adhesive vinyl
- Foam backing layers
- Specialty printed roll materials
Typical applications- Print finishing & sticker production — converting printed PVC and PET onto self-adhesive PE foam or thin PVC; suitable for sticker, decal, vehicle wrap and industrial label converters.
- Wide format & decorative roll media — wallcoverings, canvas, banners and floor graphics finishing.
- Custom configurations for specialty printed roll materials and technical substrates where standard configurations do not apply.
Key features- Integrated roll-to-roll platform combining lamination, shear-cut trimming and tension-controlled rewinding in one pass.
- Automated closed-loop web tension control across unwind, lamination, trimming and rewind positions; wide, precisely regulated tension range.
- High-torque unwind for rigid substrates and controlled low-tension rewind for delicate media.
- Heavy-duty pneumatic shear-cut trimming for tough substrates.
- Adjustable, heatable laminating rollers to handle diverse substrates and adhesive systems.
- Configurable web width, lamination setup, trimming configuration and backing application to fit production process and material type.
- Industrial-grade construction designed for continuous production and both heavy-duty and delicate substrates.
- PLC + HMI control for machine operation and process control.
WarrantyA 5-year warranty applies provided a service agreement is in place.
