Die Cutting & Lamination Machines

Die Cutting and Lamination Machine Manufacturer in India

Some products need three converting steps before they are finished: a laminated layer, a glue coating and a die cut shape. Paper wristbands are the clearest example. Shops that make them the usual way run three machines and handle the material three times: laminate, glue coat, die cut. Each handling adds time, waste and a chance of misalignment.

RK Label Printing Machinery Pvt. Ltd. builds die cutting and lamination machines in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, that do these steps in one line. The RK Wrist Band Machine unwinds the paper and the release paper, coats the release paper with hot melt glue, laminates the two webs, die cuts the wristband shape on a rotary die and delivers finished bands on a conveyor. A roll goes in one end and boxed-ready wristbands come out the other. RK has built label printing and converting machinery since 1995.

The machine on this page is the Wrist Band Machine.

01 — What Is It

What Is a Die Cutting and Lamination Machine?

A die cutting and lamination machine combines two converting jobs. Lamination joins two webs together, in this case a printed paper and a glue coated release paper. Die cutting then cuts the laminated web into the finished shape with a rotary die.

On the RK Wrist Band Machine there are two unwind stations, one for the paper roll and one for the release paper. A glue station coats the release paper with hot melt through a slotter die sized to the release paper width. The two webs are sandwiched together, the rotary die cutting unit with an 80 teeth magnet cylinder cuts the wristband shape, and the bands travel along a short conveyor and then a long conveyor with vacuum hold-down to a collecting tray.

For a buyer the important numbers are the roll size, the die cutting unit and the drive: 600 mm maximum roll diameter on both unwinds, one rotary die cutting unit with nip roller and an 80 teeth magnet cylinder, and a 3 HP three phase main motor with variable frequency drive.

02 — Range

The RK Die Cutting and Lamination Machine Range

Wrist Band Machine

The Wrist Band Machine makes finished wristbands from a paper roll in a single pass. It unwinds the paper and the release paper on two separate stations, coats the release paper with hot melt glue through a slotter die, laminates the two webs together, die cuts the wristband shape on a rotary die, then carries the bands down a long conveyor to a collecting tray at the end.

Both unwinds take rolls up to 600 mm diameter on 3 inch air shafts, with imported electronic ultrasonic web guides on both stations. Paper tension is held by an auto electronic tension controller with load cell feedback, and release paper tension by a powder brake with amp meter. The die cutting unit has a nip roller and an 80 teeth magnet cylinder, and the main motor is 3 HP three phase AC with variable speed through a VFD. A batch coding printer and the flexible die are priced separately.

It suits wristband makers for events, hospitals and hospitality, and label converters who want to add wristbands to their range.

03 — Key Features

Key Features of RK Die Cutting and Lamination Machines

Three steps in one pass

Lamination, hot melt glueing and rotary die cutting run in line, so the material is handled once instead of three times.

Two unwind stations with ultrasonic web guides

The paper roll and the release paper each have their own unwind, up to 600 mm diameter, with an imported electronic ultrasonic guide on both stations.

Separate tension control for each web

Paper tension is controlled by an auto electronic tension controller with load cell feedback, and release paper tension by a powder brake with amp meter.

Hot melt glue station with slotter die

The glue station coats the release paper with hot melt through a slotter die sized to the release paper width.

Rotary die cutting with 80 teeth magnet cylinder

One rotary die cutting unit with nip roller and an 80 teeth magnet cylinder cuts the wristband shape; the flexible die is made to your shape.

Conveyor delivery with vacuum hold-down

A short conveyor after the die and a long conveyor with vacuum hold-down carry the bands to a collecting tray at the end.

Variable speed drive

A 3 HP three phase AC main motor with VFD lets the operator match the speed to the job.

04 — How It Works

How Does a Die Cutting and Lamination Machine Work?

The printed paper roll is loaded on the first unwind and the release paper roll on the second, each up to 600 mm diameter on a 3 inch air shaft. The ultrasonic web guides keep both webs centred, the load cell tension controller holds the paper tension and the powder brake with amp meter holds the release paper tension.

The release paper passes the glue station, where hot melt is applied through a slotter die sized to the release paper width. The two webs are then sandwiched together in the lamination section, so the paper is bonded to the hot melt coated release paper.

The laminated web enters the rotary die cutting unit. The flexible die on the 80 teeth magnet cylinder, backed by the nip roller, cuts the wristband shape. The cut bands move on to the short conveyor and then the long conveyor, where vacuum hold-down keeps them flat, and they collect in the tray at the end. Where batch coding is needed, a batch coding printer can be added and is priced separately.

05 — Applications

Applications

Event wristbands - paper wristbands for concerts, festivals and exhibitions.

Hospital and patient bands - wristbands with a release paper backing for identification.

Hospitality and resorts - guest wristbands for pools, parks and all inclusive stays.

Promotional and security bands - wristbands that can carry printing and batch coding.

Label converters - shops adding laminated and die cut products to their existing label business.

Laminated die cut items - other paper products that need a glue coated release liner and a rotary cut shape.

06 — Materials

What Materials Can It Run?

The Wrist Band Machine runs a paper roll and a release paper roll, both up to 600 mm diameter, bonded with hot melt glue. The site does not publish paper grades or widths beyond this, so confirm your paper, release liner and wristband size with RK before the machine is specified. RK runs a trial on the customer's own material before almost every order.
