National signage hardware supplier SAS has launched its new venture, the hot laminating machine HM-1600E, which the company predicts will perform well among Australian printers and signage companies. The HM-1600E has a motor driven top and bottom rollers, while the film mandrel and lining paper roll are driven by its own natural force of the printed picture between the main rollers. According to SAS, this results in easy labour and operation, making it popular among users. John Wang, managing director at SAS, says he is keen to see how Australia responds to this particular competitively priced machine after seeing its success overseas. He says that SAS is investing in this Chinese designed and manufactured machine with the ‘aim to break the stronghold that some big companies have’ in the industry. Wang says, “We always strive to go above and beyond what our customers ask for in terms of products, but at the same time we hope to take the lead by offering new and exciting options, the HM-1600E being one of them.”

He says the machine is targeted towards different segments of the industry including print and signage companies, and franchises. According to Wang, the machine has already sparked some interest from the Australian industry, especially printers in Perth. “It is simple in structure, rational, user-friendly and low in cost, which can be used across the digital print format and wide format printing. The machine has film mandrel, S bar and prints roller to support consecutive laminating or long picture laminating. “The auto-peeling of liner paper and print take-up are achieved by the rolling force of the main rollers. It has two types of mains values, 220-240VAC or 110VAC.” The machine also operates with a pedal switch, which allows the user the option of using either the hand switch or pedal switch to operate. SAS has issued some guidelines saying new users of the hot laminating machine must ensure the power indication of the machine ID label conforms to the power supply during installation.
