Bobst North America Inc. presented guest converting companies with a program about laminating technology on Oct. 20 and 21 in Elk Grove, Ill.
The program included speakers from Dow Chemical Co., Henkel Corp. and Bobst. Attendees also saw demonstrations of a Bobst CL 1000D laminator running two jobs at Clear Lam Packaging Inc. in Elk Grove Village.
For the first job, the CL 1000D was equipped with the flexo-trolly, which coats solvent-based adhesives directly on alu-foil, which was laminated to a PET film at a speed of 1,470 feet per minute.
The second job did the solvent-based lamination of two clear films – PET and linear low density polyethylene—at the same run speed, again using the flexo coating system. That was a Clear Lam production run for customers the package fresh vegetables or meats.
Clear Lam runs two of the bobst CL 1000D lamination systems in Elk Grove Village.
Bobst North America is based in Roseland, N.J.
