INDUSTRIAL SERIES

              Dependable "Workhorse" Laminator - 25"

 

What customers are saying about the Industrial Series  (Workhorse)

Customers use these kinds of terms to describe these heavy duty machines:
  • Most dependable
  • Most productive
  • Trouble-free
  • Easy to use
  • Versatile
  • Easy to maintain

There are Ledco machines 15 years and older that are still going strong. There are owners with several machines that have produced for years with no maintenance other than oiling, adjusting and replacing "normal wear" parts. In fact, we hear from appreciative owners every week!

They say a Ledco absorbs tremendous usage with amazing durability, produces high-quality lamination, and does jobs it isn't supposed to do, such as single-sided laminating.

Years ago a Ledco distributor coined the name "Workhorse" for the smaller HD laminators. Although never adopted by Ledco, many owners still use the name "Workhorse". That's because the word so aptly describes these extraordinarily reliable heavy-duty laminators. As more than one owners has said, "They just keep going."

Who can use a Workhorse? Any graphics or finishing shop that needs a true commercial machine ... trade laminators, photo finishers, printers, government or school support centers, binders & finishers, military installations, hospitals, reprographers, map makers, publishers and manufacturers.

The HD-25 machines are unique because of their toughness and because no other manufacturer offers an auto feeder designed specifically for each of their smaller commercial machines. There is also a feeder for the HD-38. With the addition of a third-party auto cutter, a rugged and fully automatic laminating system can be assembled for many thousands of dollars less than any other commercial auto-system on the market.

Features of the HD-25 Industrial Series

Here are the features that contribute to making a machine people naturally call a "Workhorse".

  • Intelligent heat controllers
    These heat controllers display both the set temperature and the actual temperature. The microprocessor in the control quickly learns to anticipate the heat demand of each job and keeps the actual temperature within a few degrees of the set temperature.
  • Laminating and pull rollers
    These rollers are covered with quality silicone rubber for superior release quality, higher lamination quality, and easier cleaning. The laminating rollers and pull rollers are interchangeable.
  • Removable heat shoes
    These shoes are teflon coated to reduce film abrasion. They are easily unplugged and removed to clean or replace the laminating rollers.
  • Built-in retractable slitters
    These slitters save an enormous amount of cutting time by trimming away side scrap during the lamination process. The two heads can be adjusted independently with great precision.
  • Dual tension knobs
    The dual tension knobs (clutches) for each supply roll mandrel are easy to use and provide as little or as much tension as needed to keep work wrinkle-free.
  • Forced air cooling
    Cooling is essential when running thicker films, because the lamination needs to be cooled to get good results.
  • Easy access controls
    The controls are conveniently located and grouped for effective operation.
  • Safety guard
    A safety guard is built into the feed tray to help insure it will always be in place when laminating.
  • Upper and lower rollers are driven
    Both the upper and lower rollers are driven to minimize the wrinkling or curling that can occur when only one roller is driven.
  • Standard precision feed tray
    The standard precision feed tray has both left and right side guides and can be replaced with the power feed tray in seconds.
  • Made in the U.S.A.
    The HD-25 is made in the U.S.A., making parts a lot closer to you should they be needed.

Low-Melt  laminating films
click here for information 
Low melt laminating films is the primary choice for most laminating jobs. With a 40 to 50 degree lower activation temperature they can be used with most ink jet, lithographed, silk screened, photo-graphic, electrostatic or other reproduction methods.

Graphic Arts Grades click here for information
This film is good for printed items when low cost is important
Recommended for photos and digital images as well. Runs at higher temperature than low melt films.
