Laminating Lines for Thermoplastic Materials
Inline & Offline, Hot Blade or Hot Roll

FAP can offer highly efficient inline and offline hot laminators for material welding by two systems, which can either be combined or work separately:
HOT AIR (Air Blade) & HOT ROLL (Roll to Roll system). Both systems guarantee perfect adhesion of the laminated layers.

The hot roll system is ideal for in-line foam lamination with HDPE film, while the hot air system is best for off-line lamination. The combined off-line laminator offers both laminating solutions, making the machine extremely versatile.

FAP designs, manufactures and sells a range of laminators, suited to laminate foam, air bubble film, EVA with various materials: LDPE, HDPE, PP, metallized film, paper, aluminum, aluminum + LDPE, EVA.

Laminated materials are widely used in construction and packaging industries due to their thermal and acoustic insulation properties and to their excellent mechanical strength. 

Custom Inline Hot Roll Laminator – Efficient and Reliable Film Lamination for Foam & Air bubble film

This laminator uses high-precision heated roll to bond the materials. The process ensures excellent surface contact, stable lamination results.

The Inline Foam & Air Bubble Film Laminator can also be integrated into a complete extrusion line — even retrofitted later on. Positioned directly after the extruder, it enables HDPE film lamination onto foam or bubble materials at high line speeds, supporting a continuous and efficient production process.

The structure of laminator is available in two configurations to accommodate different production layouts and material flow through the lamination head. The unwinding structure for heavy rolls also varies between: floor-mounted unwinders or mezzanine-mounted unwinders.

Possible applications: The all-round applications make foam a popular choice in e-commerce. Lamianated with film foam and air bubble film packaging protects from mechanical damage, moisture and soil. Foam has proven to be an excellent solution when covering fragile and brittle products or any goods that may be subject to scratches and breakage. Subsequently, the material can be transformed into bags and sheets.

This Hot Air Multilayer Laminating Machine is designed for simultaneous lamination of multiple layers of Thick Foam or EVA of various densities for high plank / board welding. As a result, laminated PE foam planks are strong, resilient and elastic. 

Possible high thickness foam applications: In technical packaging and the construction industry, sport equipment.

An independent machine uniformly laminates foam of various thicknesses and densities with different types of materials on one side. The machine can be upgraded by integrating some special equipment for Non-stop production. 

Such equipment consists of: a foam accumulator (up to 40m) and a joint system to ensure the continuous laminating process.

Possible applications: As a versatile insulation material for various applications in the construction industry: heavy-duty floor mat for excellent sound insulation and vapor barrier / universal sound and heat insulating material with a reflective effect (PE foam laminated with a metallized lavsan film) / vibration-insulating material with a waterproofing layer (PP foam laminated with waterproof polymer film).

Compatible materials include: Foam and/or Bubble Wrap + HDPE, LDPE, HDPE, metallized film, paper + HDPE, aluminium film, aluminium film + LDPE, metallized lavsan film, waterproof polymer film and others.

Custom Hot Blade Laminator – Versatile Lamination for Thermoplastic Materials

FAP’s custom-designed Hot Blade Laminator offers advanced lamination through controlled heat, making it ideal for companies with unique production requirements or material combinations.

This offline machine uses a high-efficiency hot blade system to bond layers of material using heat only — without glues or adhesives. Thanks to precise thermal management and mechanical design, it can laminate a wide range of thermoplastic materials, even those with different thicknesses, densities, and properties.

Compatible materials include:
EPE, EPP, EVA, PE and PP films, PET, PS, bubble film, and others.

The machine’s modular structure ensures that not only the lamination section, but also the material handling systems are fully customized to suit client production flow, formats, and material types. Whether it is necessary to laminate films, foams, or composites, this solution adapts to clients' needs.

Ideal for industries: Protective packaging, automotive, building & construction, civil engineering, sporting goods.

With FAP’s hot blade technology, client can achieve strong, clean bonding across layers — even between dissimilar materials — while maintaining the flexibility to evolve your product range over time.
